i need a snowboarding partner.
i don't ask for much... just a little enthusiasm for the sport... a little conversation on the lift... that's it.

i need to spend some time out in nature. i need to breath some crisp, fresh air. i need to get away...

maybe i'll just go by myself. i'll make it a personal retreat.

Your fullness is mine, Revelation divine
But oh to taste, To know much more than a page
To feel Your embrace...

For dark is light to You
The Depths are height to You
Far is near, But Lord I need to hear from You

Be near, O God
Be near, O God of us
Your nearness is to us our good...
... my good.
