Watching raindrops fall on a tree breaking from their spherical mold. The tree, however, remains unbroken, not unchanged. It grows from the water that falls sometimes forcefully, other times gently onto its bark, seeking the roots. The reflection on the other-hand becomes increasingly muddled and broken as each drop pierces the water's surface and scatters the tree's virtual image.
Real faith as compared to virtual faith...every so often new (and old) challenges distill like dew and release themselves from the celestial heavens. Other times, they condensate and burst from our mortal atmosphere. Either way I am wet. I wonder and even worry a little...okay A LOT. Mostly about my future, which uncovers fossils of the past from which I evolved. Who I am and will become feels tied between the unsinkable buoy and the anchor beneath the waves of where I came from. Will I be better and greater than that? Will I have your strength?
I CAN
The limitations exist only in my mind, the possibilities are endless because the Atonement is infinite. As offspring of God, the seeds of greatness are already planted. So bring on the rain, welcome the storms, test my faith. With increasing confidence, I refuse to break.

Nerbing
nerb (v.) - to use a noun as a verb
This term probably exists somewhere in the dictionary of literary akdhvua...but my inexperience in such areas are minimal (I just enrolled in freshman English my junior year [two years of AP English mean nothing when you get to college]), and learning that would devastate my creative confidence. --speaking especially to the two English majors who are currently my only followers
So for the time being I am going to follow the Shakespearean trend and invent my own words starting with this one.
Examples of nerbing:
"For some reason I have no problem working at 4 a.m. but I can't 'school' at 8 or even 'church' at 9"
"At school the 'little Nemoed' kid was 'shark baited'."
"Oh I totally 'Stophed' you!"
"I'm goin 'Lyndsi Shaein' today"
Since my creation's birth I have begun to recognize a lot more of his kind and I hope to pass this along as we enter a new era of literature and the arts--the Stoph
