I'm attracted to how fraught the parent-child relationship is, swerving so easily between love and hostility, with almost no plausible way to end, unless someone dies.
The pros really like all the new people playing poker because they love the dead money; but when the money wins they don't like that very much at all.
I desire many things concerning myself; but I desire nothing so much, as to have a heart filled with love to the Lord. I long for a warm personal attachment to Him.

Sometimes the only way the good Lord can get into some hearts is to break them.

If you see me playing a $1/$2 no-limit on PokerStars, I'm probably experimenting with something, trying something new seeing how it works.
Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way! Thou art the Potter and I am the clay.
