Description
Those were my nailsThat was my crown
That pierced Your hands and Your brow
Those were my thorns
Those were my scorns
Those were my tears that fell down
And just as You said it would be
You did it all for me
After You counted the cost
You took my shame, my blame
On my cross

(On My Cross by FFH)
I heard this song today for the first time in years....
and it hit me in a new way.
CHRIST. DIED. IN. MY. PLACE.
But that doesn't really sum up my thoughts, because I already knew that but I'm seeing it in a different light...
one that happens to be hard to explain...
So.... maybe I'll try and get my thoughts in order and then type something out.... later.
Till then,
MB

EDIT:

Thank you! haha It went pretty good, But I was a little quiet haha
----------------------

Yeah. I've done my share of singing in front of people; it's not the easiest to sing loudly and on key when you're shaking and nervous..... 
----------------
Really?! That different huh?! hmm..
I kinda like the tragic-ness of it....
but idk maybe I'll read the manga when I find some free time....
which doesn't mean too much since I don't really have any...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha i know, right? theres also the fact that my heart just kinda stops beating so I cant breathe... at all...
--------
yes, that different. and yeah I like the tragic-ness too, it wouldnt seem as realistic if the ending was too happy right after a world wide vampire/mutant thing attack... but it is definatly worth reading.
ahhh yes free time, I have almost forgotten the word... its been so long.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm....
I've watched Kaze no stigma, Blood+ (obviously)(actually I've watched it twice
And them some random first episodes of various others...
How 'bout you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ive actually watched alot... Blood+ of course (Ive seen it twice too haha), Fruits Basket (I LOVE that show! 
I swear I have a life! I dont just watch anime all day haha
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol....
I LOVE Fruits Basket!!! Mostly for Kyo....
Hmm... I'll admit I haven't heard of most of those...
I don't have a computer (or a lot of time) so I don't watch much anime - But I may have to look up that Eden of the East (I can probably find time for 11 episodes 
But I do really enjoy reading manga.
That's one of the biggest reasons I want to be a Mangaka...
Because there ought to be some good quality Christian manga out there!!!! So there...
My little manga rant.... heheh...
Do you have facebook?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Im actually more of a yuki fan, but I <3 kyo too haha!
Just to warn you, eden of the east is rated mature, but its really not sexual or violent. There is some (censored) nudity, but its not for steamy scenes or anything... its mostly just for funny "ok, what just happend?" moments
Yess reading manga is great, and yes it is hard to find clean ones... although there are some good ones that arent exactly clean... Like Nana, for example.
But yeah Christian manga is hard to come by... But there is a good one I found, called "Serenity", I started reading it a few years ago and it is really good and Christian. Not to mention theres a Manga Messiah book I have thats the 4 gospels in a manga book. Wowww this message is getting long... sorry
And yesh I do have facebook. You?
