Scales the wall and refuses to be restricted.
Grace
lives above the demands of human opinion and breaks free legalistic relations.
Grace
dares us to take hold of the sledges of courage, break through long-standing stones.
Grace
invites us to chart new courses and explore ever-expanding regions, all the while delighting in the unexpected, while others care more about maintaining the wall and fearing those who guard it.
Grace
is constantly looking for ways of freedom.
Grace
wants to fly, regardless of what grim-faced officials may say or do.
Grace
is demonstrated in the words of Jesus Christ:
"If therefore the Son shall make you free, you are free indeed."

This is a poem by a man who lives here in Port Elizabeth. I've never met him, but Tyler and Uncle Ivan have, and Uncle Ivan gave Sasha and me a nice, printed-out version of this poem.
I just wanted to share it with you, because I thought it was really beautiful.
-Tara.
PS: There is a blog coming up, and it's going to have some big news in it. I hope you are prepared.
