Quote by Craig D. Lounsbrough

“If something pushes itself into our lives and demands immediate allegiance of us, it will always be less than that which we should give the best of ourselves over to. However, if something stands at a distance and invites us in quiet and unobtrusive tones, and if it then steps away to allow us to settle the matter for ourselves, it is likely worth the whole of our allegiance. Such is God.”

“The Hamartia of Esteem by Stewart Stafford A clash of Roses has seared these temples grey, The brash cur pack supplanting divinity's place, Nightshade words aimed at codpiece not the face, Inquisition's gauntlet strikes this judgement day. A death warrant marked by slander's inked stain? Scarred by a caricatured actor's grasping fear? In a groundless play for a groundling's sneer? Mannequin tyrant in a jailer playwright's disdain? Time shall be your confessor and guide, A guest casting stones at yourself in haste, Purifying my beloved's fair hand, debased, Redeem her undoing at a vengeful rabble's side. © 2025, Stewart Stafford.

“The Word by Stewart Stafford Though you have lost me, now you see, My prophecy to thee proved ever true, Absolving your wrongs done to me, In verdant fields of harmony anew. If I stayed, they said you would pay, In excoriating loss, I secured your sanctuary, I am the sentinel that prepares the way, Evolving beyond the dusty ossuary. Tongues with riddles lie in their reaching, By living, know your false self’s meaning, Insight doth bloom through time’s enduring, Our Spring lamb in lush meadows weaning. © 2025, Stewart Stafford.

“Easter is the message that the limits of our understanding (despite how suffocating they might be) can never, and will never alter the limitlessness of our existence or in any way diminish our ability to actually live out that limitlessness. That any ending that we will ever experience (despite how brutally dark that ending might have been) holds within itself the ability to become a beginning so ingenious and so utterly improbable that it will handily crush whatever that darkness was. That any defeat (regardless of how devastating) holds within its pain and disappointment the seeds of a victory so potent and so comprehensive that it will wipe out the pain and obliterate the disappointment. And that God Himself invites us to a forever tomorrow even at the points that we fall to the stubborn conviction that any tomorrow could never possibly arise out of the ashes of our today. This…this and so much more is the incredibly and entirely immovable message of Easter.”
