I posted a guitar/vocal on my site (angelomelendez.com), if you would like to hear it, just click LISTEN and select the song from the list. God's peace.

I've read this post now a few times (I'm kinda slow), very rich. If not for grace what light would shine on sin to show us our own depravity. I grew up Catholic, and always thought it odd to walk around with soot on my head. Your perspective is certainly thought provoking, I really like these lines, "Ashes are what remain after a fire. They show what once was, but not in any recognizable way." To me, this summarizes grace. This post has inspired me to go to the coffers and pulled out a 3/4 finished song I wrote after watch "The Passion... " for the first time called Here is Love. I'll leave a comment when it's done, hopefully by Good Friday. Thx again, have a blessed, prayerful season of Lent... a So well said… I’ve read this post now a few times (I’m kinda slow), very rich.

I've been realizing more and more lately how easy and dangerous it is to have a self-focused faith that claims to be about God but really isn't. Thanks for your words.

When we become aware of grace and mercy, and the sin nature that separates our hearts from His love, then we are found. I love this tag line, really resonates. I've not seen this movie, but next pass through Blockbuster I'll sure look for it. Very much enjoying your latest posts... the Lord has blessed you with a wonderful knack for spawning creative thought and inspiring hope. Thanks!

I've not gotten around to recording a decent demo, so the track is kinda raw. I can only hope if you choose to listen it speaks to your heart. http://www.angelomelendez.com/muse.html Click on the title for the lyric if you'd like to see it, or just click LISTEN and pick the song from the player. I connect with all your posts, you're a gifted writer and your willingness to share so deeply is humbling. Interestingly I'm about done with a song titled "All Things You", I'll comment to let you know when it's up on my site. Hope you don't mind this type of response to your post. And I pray the glimmers of beauty grow brighter each day. A few months ago, while wrestling with similar feelings, I wrote a song called “Tears, Fury and Fight”.

I feel as if I know what you are feeling, this brokenness and guilt and fear. My life feels like it has been turned upside down over the course of the past few months, yet I am still so eternally blessed. But I can't feel it. And all I can do is hope in my brokenness, that someday I will come out of this valley. Thank you for being so honest. breathingsteady,
