Please Love the Hell Out of Me

January 18, 2012 by chris in General

I don't have to die to visit Hell, you know. My decisions are empowered to make this Earth a living, breathing Hell. For myself and for those in close proximity. I need to be inoculated. I need a cure. An antidote, as it were.

Human love is like those things. It's capable. Potent. I need it, and when administered properly, it's up to the task. Of course, sometimes it takes routine doses over a period of time, and the results may not be immediately obvious, but it works. Can we agree that in patient, human love there is a quiet, steadfast, resilient aptitude to remove Hell from a place, or better yet, a person?

How much more so, then, could a divine love, assuming one exists, do the same.

Elliot Allen Ames arrived on Earth around 3:20am this past Monday morning. Due to the planet's gravity, he registered 6 lbs 11 oz and he was 19.5 inches long. His 2 sisters Savannah and Sydney, who had arrived on the planet 2 and 5 years prior, were delighted to finally fulfill their dreams to hold him in their arms.

It's no secret, Carlos Whitaker loves time lapse video. Last year he recorded his family decorating the tree using an awesome song from August Burns Red. This year, I decided to follow suit.
