From Red to White

From white to red, 
From red to white, 
The Moon glances down 
In the deep of the night.
* * * *
As I gaze toward the Heavens,
And think of the strife,
I can’t help but ponder, 
The Lord, my Savior’s life!
* * * *
That despite all His glory, 
He came to follow the plan, 
And though He was so perfect,
He bled for all of man.
* * * *
And just like the Earth,
Blocking light from the Sun,
The Noble of Birth
Died for everyone.
* * * *
Now as I ponder
The Moon so bright, 
Though your sins be scarlet,
Your burdens may be light!
* * * *
I know that I’m His,
This life is not mine,
He has shown to me His love,
In the Moon, in a sign. 
* * * *
From white to red,
From red to white,
My Savior can heal me, 
In the darkest night.

The Theory of Thymos: Plato's Prediction

People are strange. Throughout all the ages of man, armies have wasted their lives going to war over things as frivolous as an apple as well as many who kill themselves and others in the name of a divine being that they have never even seen. At the same time, many heroes have given their lives in protecting liberty and standing up for justice and freedom. What could cause people to make decisions such as these? The ancient Greeks believed that there was a part within each of us that caused us to make irrational decisions like these. This was called Thymos. Plato wrote extensively on the topic. He said that all forms of society are born from this philosophy of Thymos, and I agree. Upon examination we can find that political initiative, the life blood of a free society, flows from the attributes of Thymos. Likewise, if we do not control this place within, we will develop a weaker more tyrannical society. The Thymos that dwells within each of us is the seat of our passions. It has

Let Us Not Become the Evil We Deplore

This week ought to be a time of remembrance.  223 years ago today,  George Washington laid the cornerstone of the United States Capitol, a magnificent symbol of our nation.  Yesterday some of us celebrated the 229th anniversary of our Constitution, something that is often forgotten in the shadow of Independence Day, though it is of much greater importance in my opinion. On September 13th, 1932, Gandhi started a fast to protest Caste separation, which was a terrible form of discrimination, akin to the discrimination that still plaques the world. And of course, a week ago many of us joined in saying that, "We Will Never Forget", the atrocities committed on 9/11.  But how many of us can truly say that we have never forgotten, or never will forget 9/11? I know that I for one, have forgotten that day many times, possibly because I was too young to realize the full import of the events. But in a deeper sense, I feel that we have really forgotten the most import
