Gentlemen, there are ten things you should always be willing to hold for a woman; the door as she enters, her purse when it’s needed, her hand in public, her hair when she’s nauseous, her tears when she cries, her dreams before Heaven, her virtue in high esteem, her words spoken in confidence, your tongue when you are angry, and her heart when she gives it to you.

Gentlemen, here are 10 more things you should always be willing to hold for your woman. Hold the kids when you get home from work.   They will appreciate it and so will she. Hold your opinion to yourself when it's not asked for.   And sometimes, even when it is. Hold harmless any mistakes she makes trying her best.   Failure means she tried. Hold your breath when she lets one rip.   And your comments as well. Hold down the fort when she wants a girls night out.   The favor will be returned tenfold. Hold your pants on when you're in a hurry and she isn't ready.   She has greater expectations on her. Hold the weight of the world so she doesn't have to.   Your shoulders are much stronger than hers. Put your plans on hold when she gives you that look.   You will be glad you did. Hold on to her tight when she needs a hug.   She needs your strength and love. Hold each moment with her as a gift.   Because she is your gift.

In a noise cluttered world, full of the endless droning of voices and a cacophony of useless sound, we forget the significance of silence. It is in the space between words that language is formed, the junction between notes that rhythm becomes a song. It is the power of the pause that causes a heart to skip a beat when we listen to the silence in a moment. It is in silence that we see more clearly and listen more carefully. Choose your words well, but choose your silence even more so and your words will carry a greater weight and verve.

When is good better than great? When it is what you seek to do rather than desire to be.

You are made from the dust of the universe and the breath of God. You are part of all that was, all that is and all that will be. Don't ever doubt your significance or value. If He made you, you have a purpose. Embrace the God of the universe and you will find your place.

What is beyond reach, is not beyond hope. If faith is belief in that which is not seen, hope is belief in that which has not yet been.

Sifting through the sediment of sentiments, there is little comfort in the words of men, but the voice of God spoken through another can mend a wounded soul.

There are no writers nor photographers, no musicians or artists, only cartographers of human expression, mapping out the revelation of the soul. Images and words trace the topography of the heart, but only capture a glimpse, an outline of the self, expressed. There is no creation, only the discovery, and formation of thoughts forged with inanimate elements steeped in hominal emotion. We depict, we illustrate, we infuse tangible with the intangible and produce representations of the endless universe within and our vision of the infinite around us.  The medium conforms to the message as we render what is felt with eyes and ears and hands and hearts; the incarnation of the human experience portrayed on canvas, celluloid, and, clay as perceived, interpreted, and translated by the discoverer. Follow their map and you will see a journey that often intersects with your own. Produce a map and others will find you along the way.
