But a wound unfelt is a wound unhealed.

Moses does not encounter the living God at the mall. He finds Him (or is found by Him) somewhere out in the deserts of Sinai, a long way from the comforts of Egypt... Where did the great prophet Elijah go to recover his strength? To the wild. As did John the Baptist, and his cousin, Jesus, Who is led by the Spirit into the wilderness.

Every man is a warrior inside. But the choice to fight is his own.

For after years of living in a cage, a lion no longer even believes it is a lion . . . and a man no longer believes he is a man.

Deep in his heart, every man longs for a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue.

But a wound unfelt is a wound unhealed.

Desire, both the whispers and the shouts, is the map we have been given to find the only life worth living.
