What ever they may be, to me they are a word picture or image of some great truth that God wants me to understand. Usually they are used to get me past a stumbling block in my faith.

As my eyes adjust to the dim starlight I recognize my surrounds as being Lake Frank.  I remember as a young teen my friends K.C., Danny and I riding our bikes over to this lake and then tempting fate by riding<br /><div class="readmore"><a href="http://therequiest.com/index.php/2011/08/11/sweet-dreams/">Read More...</a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are all dreamers. It&#8217;s one of the characteristics that sets us apart from the rest of creation. We are visionaries. We see things thru our minds eye that we have never seen, nor which we have accomplished and yet we form, mold and attempt to create them into being. And we seemingly do this with every aspect of our lives.

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s so easy for me to buy into this worlds mind-set of unneeded wants and desires. I am after all a material girl man. The advertisements for the latest cars, or until recently motorcycles, can set my heart a flutter and my mouth salivating. Checking out my bosses $8K Mac Pro, I can envision all the kewl things I could program, create, do.

		<description><![CDATA[From the venerable C.H. Spurgeon via the Miscellanies blog. The Lord of life and glory was nailed to the accursed tree. He died by the act of guilty men. We, by our sins, crucified the Son of God. &#160;&#160;&#160; We might have expected that, in remembrance of his death, we should have been called to a long, sad, rigorous fast.

When are you most conscious of your own passion for him? What are the circumstances? How is it expressed? How do you keep the passion for God, &#8220;hot&#8221;?
