I followed her up through a small passage near the bottom of the house that led to a deep hallway that seemed darker than night. But I felt okay with her there. We were there because it was an adventure and she needed me to capture it for her.

We floated - we held plastic red party cups to our mouths and floated up away from the dark hallway and into a large open portion of the house that made her want to float faster towards the top. So she did, and I followed her, and we rose. As we neared to another level of the house I slowly took a look around and gathered in what little information I could about the surroundings and realized that this place was more like a doll house than it was anything else. The rooms were open and behind us seemed dark and empty - void of any audience.

I stared back up in time to see her there stopped; beckoning me to hurry to her. She had found why we came here and she was excited. So I floated up to her with my little red cup to my lips and she spoke wordlessly to me about what she was seeing.

Without warning from out of the darkness, her back to it - her eyes to mine - I gasped for air as my finger nails curled and my lips turned blue. In the room staring back at me from down in that place was the darkest evil that has ever been born. I tried to speak but it wouldn't let me and I was terrified. I knew that this was Satan and that he was coming for me. My mouth stretched far and held skewed as if something else was pulling it apart and I couldn't scream to tell her it was coming.

She looked confused as my eyes turned black and my soul cringed for mercy and I started to sink.

I saw a car that had been crushed by a tree today and the license plate read "Prayer works."

After watching Before Sunset  twice now I've realized that I need to feel essential... 

In the book of James he tells us to be slow to speak and slow to get angry right? So sometimes you have to physically put your hand over your mouth. 

I've been praying for wisdom lately and today I  found these words in Psalm 119 - (28) I weep with sorrow; encourage me by your word. and (32) I will pursue your commands, for you expand my understanding.
