Perhaps you’ve been there. And then perhaps you haven’t. A world that exists, though many people say it isn’t possible. How do they know? What if it is? What if people don’t believe, or know that it’s not in existence in reality, but in reality it’s there? Though it’s just not conceivable to our world.
I know it is. You might not, but I know people who do. Anyone who has never completely lost his childhood knows what I mean. It’s the world that exists that doesn’t exist. It’s really there even though it isn’t. It’s your world. A place that you know perfectly and yet other people say is not possible. What if it is? I believe it is. This is it.
You can see it, you can smell it, you can feel it, and yet it only few can ever speak of it. If it is voiced it always seems that the spell is broken. There are instances where it can be mentioned and those who are not there can see a glimpse of the world. But it’s a world that can hardly be spoken of, for if you speak it becomes hollow, empty, and ruined. It’s a world that can be written and dreamed of, and entered any time you wish… if… But there’s no door, and only those who have a key can enter. Those who have it know they do. The key can’t be described. You cannot be told what it is, and it can’t be given to you. But for those few who have it, this world is always open, always it’s there. It’s ever in existence, though at times it seems farther or closer. More real or less real, but never gone.

Muchlys...
If you don’t understand this, that’s ok, I guess it’s sort of an inside joke...but if you get it you should really get it!! :)
One day we discovered a land inside the world of insanity, this land is inhabited by the Muchlys. The Muchlys are divided into two classes. Pretty Muchlys and ugly Muchlys.
Some interesting facts discovered about the Muchlys are:
Their favorite vegetable is okies.
The expression ‘Oh Vista!’ is used when they are irritated.
‘kk’ and ‘prolly’ are their two most common words in speech. And ‘yup’ is their single affirmative word.
One comical habit of the Muchlys is putting signs on their doors such as ‘here’, ‘away’, or ‘be right back’. The funny thing is that even when they put ‘away’ and ‘be right back’ signs on their doors, you can almost always knock and find them still at home… and happy to talk with you.
The only foreign word that the Muchlys know is ja. Due to the fact that ja is the only foreign with which they are familiar it takes on multiple spellings such as ja, jah or ya.
Another peculiar habit of the Muchlys is that after they make a declaration of going to bed it is anywhere from thirty minutes to two hours before they actually head that direction.
‘Ornot’ is the term the Muchlys’ use when they have said something, but disagree and agree with it at the same time.
Two other interesting traits of the Muchlys are the first being that they stick their tongues out at people all the time, though this action is used as a gag or joke with no negative connotations, and the other being that whenever they find something funny they almost always laugh aloud.
When they find something disagreeable or not to their liking they say ‘hahaha’ or ‘oh....’ in the driest manner you have ever heard.
A very common sight to see among the Muchlys is when they all of a sudden roll around on the floor and laugh so hard that they start crying. The curious thing about these incidents is that the Muchlys are in such a state for no more than two seconds and then they return to their former composed conversation.
Another fascinating talent of the Muchlys is the ability to carry on multiple, coherent, and deep conversations at the same time and everyone with whom they are conversing can understand them.
But the most distinctive factor of the Muchlys’ culture is their famous word… ISH. Ish might mean anything from ‘sort of’ to ‘that’s right’ to ‘maybe’ to ‘I’m not sure, but I’ll say it anyway’. Though no one remembers the exact date, ish was declared a word in the land of Muchlys when they decided that they were tired of it being simply a suffix.

Ray of Hope Again....
-->
Someone’s crying
Can’t you hear the pain
Something inside is breaking
And it might not heal again
Where to go from here
No reason to try again
‘cause there was nothing else clear
She just fell apart
Had nothing else to give
Ev’ry vision had shattered
Without a cause left to live
She alone to blame
Her whole heart in shambles
And her soul was held in chains
Can’t you hear the pain
Something inside is breaking
The future is gone again
Lights had been shut off
The darkness was oppressive
And she couldn’t shake it off
And without a plan
Now was the time to claim her
Lift her gently by the hand
Caught her tenderly
Wrapped His arms around her
Said “I’ve come to set you free”
I will take your place”
Then He whispered in her ear
“This is love and perfect grace”
Can’t you hear the pain
Something inside is breaking
Jesus will heal it again
And would take her blame
At first she was suspicious
It was such a wild claim
And remembered now
Stories of a God who died
And she’d just been told how
Then she broke down
And her heart gave way to tears
From the strain of what this crowned
By a sense of fervent hope
Her burdens then were lifted
Her life had a whole new scope
Can’t you hear the pain
Something inside is breaking
Yet there’s a ray of hope again
...Yet there’s a ray of hope again

Approved to God
"Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth." 2 Timothy 2:15
If you cannot express yourself well on each of your beliefs, work and study until you can. If you don’t, other people may miss out on the blessings that come from knowing the truth. Try to re-express a truth of God to yourself clearly and understandably, and God will use that same explanation when you share it with someone else. But you must be willing to go through God’s winepress where the grapes are crushed. You must struggle, experiment, and rehearse your words to express God’s truth clearly. Then the time will come when that very expression will become God’s wine of strength to someone else. But if you are not diligent and say, “I’m not going to study, and struggle to express this truth in my own words; I’ll just borrow my words from someone else,” then the words will be of little or no value to you or to others. Try to state to yourself what you believe to be the absolute truth of God, and you will be allowing God the opportunity to pass it on through you to someone else. Always make it a practice to stir your own mind thoroughly to think through what you have easily believed. Your position is not really yours until you make it yours through suffering and study. The author or speaker from whom you learn the most is not the one who teaches you something you didn’t know before, but the one who helps you take a truth with which you have quietly struggled, give it expression, and speak it clearly and boldly.
