&lt;p&gt;Your name has been mentioned lately so much, that I can almost once again feel your touch; but I don’t.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s been almost two years since you left me, nine months since we last spoke.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My spirit seems to be running on empty, and my heart seems to be broke; but is it?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don’t know what feelings you have towards me, if any feelings at all.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But my mind is racing, thinking, we could one day be back together and fall… back in to what we had.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So goodnight my dear, it’ll be another month til we can talk;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just know I’m praying for your journey; as you keep exploring on your walk.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I pray for you each night, that God will heal your hurt.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And He’ll take away your pain, and show you what you’re worth.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://stephencarpenter.tumblr.com/post/21005449395</link><guid>http://stephencarpenter.tumblr.com/post/21005449395</guid><pubDate>Thu, 12 Apr 2012 23:11:16 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0h8cobLjq1rp6fi0o1_500.png"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://stephencarpenter.tumblr.com/post/19661078558</link><guid>http://stephencarpenter.tumblr.com/post/19661078558</guid><pubDate>Tue, 20 Mar 2012 22:24:24 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>
GET INVOLVED. STOP AT NOTHING. THE WORLD MUST KNOW.
I dare you...</title><description>&lt;iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/37119711?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0&amp;color=d13030" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;big&gt;GET INVOLVED. STOP AT NOTHING. THE WORLD MUST KNOW.&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I dare you to stop scrolling through your dashboard&lt;/strong&gt;. Stop checking your Facebook newsfeed that you’ve already checked two seconds ago. Stop updating your Twitter and seeing what your favorite celebrities are saying. Stop watching funny and nonsense videos on Youtube. Take time to educate yourself to &lt;strong&gt;MAKE A DIFFERENCE&lt;/strong&gt; in this world. This is your chance! &lt;strong&gt;WATCH THIS VIDEO&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;big&gt;Let’s make JOSEPH KONY Famous!!!&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;big&gt;Who is JOSEPH KONY?&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;He is&lt;/small&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;small&gt;THE WORST LIVING CRIMINAL.&lt;/small&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;small&gt;He abducts children and makes them use guns to kill their own parents. He takes girls and forces them to be sex slaves. He calls his abducted children the Lord’s Resistance Army, AKA the LRA. He has abducted over 30,000 children and forced them to be child soldiers in Central Africa. &lt;strong&gt;He remains at large because he is INVISIBLE to the world. FEW know his name, even FEWER know his crimes. WE ARE MAKING HIM FAMOUS!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/small&gt; &lt;small&gt;Because when he is, the world will unite against him and demand his arrest.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;big&gt;We can help make a change. We can make a difference.&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;small&gt;I feel so inspired. I feel the need to help and make a difference.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;small&gt;This has to happen in 2012. We can’t let him go around and keep doing this to children in Central Africa. Let’s make his name known so he can be stopped.&lt;/small&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;small&gt;HE CAN NO LONGER BE INVISIBLE!&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;big&gt;REBLOG IF YOU CARE.&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;This will not make your blog ugly, please take a moment to reblog and get the word out. &lt;strong&gt;SHARE THIS TO EVERYONE! Be a part of something BIG and when they catch this man, you would be able to say.. “I HELPED.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;big&gt;LET’S START HERE ON TUMBLR.&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

I stood outside earlier, and watched the trees make shade over me. I realized that the trees that were refreshing me, would be pointless with out the sun. In the same way, we are pointless without purpose. If we don&amp;#8217;t have a purpose what is the point of living. Find your purpose! Need help?

&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;m tired of our generation of christians. We are fake. We know it. And we could care less. This isn&amp;#8217;t a judgemental rant, I&amp;#8217;m part of the problem. God is huge, and can forgive anything we do, but what good is his forgiveness if we don&amp;#8217;t care about it. We show him we don&amp;#8217;t care by preaching one thing and living another. It tears my heart apart to hear kids say one thing, and see them live something different. What good are we doing? Only condeming ourselves. If I was God I would have damned us all to hell, and be done with it. His compassion and mercy; I will never understand, but am so grateful for.&lt;/p&gt;
