Crazy how fast life can pass us by if we let it slip through our fingers.
Carpe Diem
Seize the Day
If we don't seize the day it will seize us and shake us and spit us back out.

Incorruptible. That's a pretty word. But what in this world is incorruptible? Children are born so seemingly innocent, but somewhere along the way they lose that, and are corrupted, like the rest of us already have been.
Incorruptible stems from the Latin prefix "in" which is like our English "un-" and the root "corruptus," meaning "broken in pieces". Incorruptible then means not broken in pieces. We are all corrupted. Suppose that means we are all broken too; so why do we try so hard to pretend we're not? God is the only one who is not broken in pieces- he is the Healer of our broken pieces- that's such a comfort to me. It's easy to forget about love sometimes- lasting love that is- it's easy to fall into the habit of taking it for granted or assuming that we deserve it. We don't. We are broken into a million pieces, shattered by sin and the evil in this world and in us. God is incorruptible: He is not broken, and He wants to mend us. He wants to fix me, and He wants to fix you.
