fighting water looks
I look for places where there's no one out on the water. I'd rather surf a wave to myself than fight a crowd.
dying looks body

glasses rocks people
The easiest thing to do is throw a rock. It's a lot harder to create a stained glass window. I used to get upset at the people who threw rocks but now I'd rather spend my time building the stained glass windows.

teaching voice desert
Sometimes it can be really hard in our fast paced society to slow ourselves down enough to begin to listen to God's voice. The dilemma exists in my position as well. To be a follower of Christ is to emulate Him. When He went off alone into the desert to pray, He was teaching a valuable lesson.
mouths reluctant
I'm very reluctant to put my words into God's mouth.
