walking with a purpose; somewhere along the rugged terrain of life you stub your toe... t i m b e r! a hard face plant the devil on your shoulder mocks you forks his tongue into your ear... "Bite the dust!" yet you rise to your nimble feet without so much as a backward glance you keep on walking with faith... 10 feet tall.

Yeah, the evil one would like for us to remain stumbled, but a spiritual person just keeps getting right back up, with a little help - Proverbs 24:16
