All Glory Be
All Glory Be - Rich Dittus
All glory be to God on high so we lift our hands to the sky
And some will praise but not know why
But we give you this offering
One man / One life
He would do it all for me
I lived / He died
He gave his life for me
My sins he took
No such love will ever be shown in this world
He reached / Out into
The shadows of our heart
We cried / you pulled us out of our mess
We screamed / you bled
No such love will ever be shown in this world
We give you our hearts
We give you our souls
We give you our lives that we may be made whole again
God I give it to you

Amen to that! Happy Easter season everyone! I have had an amazing experience of Easter this year. I went to the Triduum services over at Emory. I took a friend of mine from MSE, David. We had a lot of fun, and I think he enjoyed it. Something finally clicked in my head. It seems so simple, and we all "know" it, but I can't say I truly believed it. I think the Triduum really helped me to understand. Jesus died for our sins, and the skirmish, the battle, the war, are all over! God has already defeated Satan and sent him back to hell. All of my sins and temptations have always overcome me, and I am not saying that now it will be any easier to overcome them. But I can honestly see now that it is Christ who defeats the temptations in my life. Not me. I am weak and fallible. I fall, but God picks me up. God has already won the war. Fr. Tim invited us to stay and pray near the cross after we venerated it on Friday. I sat kneeling, and I was off in my own world. I wasn't thinking about the cross, and I wasn't paying much attention to what I was doing. Then all of sudden, I looked down and it clicked. I was zoned in. I realized that the cross before me symbolized not only death, but the victory over sins and most especially Satan. Praise God!! Alleluia. The rest of the Triduum services were also amazing. Four people I knew were brought into the Church. How AWESOME is that? I was so excited. I truly believe that God is moving in my life. The Holy Spirit is alive and working in and through me. I just hope I can have the courage to stand up and accept his will. All Glory be to God!
Life is going incredible. The semester is winding down, and no matter how my grades end up (I'm between A's and B's this semester, as opposed to C's and B's last semester), this has been the most amazing semester of my life. I have grown closer to my brothers in Christ at Emory through the Society of St. Joseph, and I've taken the initiative (with God's help) to get in shape and to move forward in my life without being too obsessive about any one thing. And I have been able to really make friends here at Tech. Praise God!
