Player 1754362

"The game is not yet over for this player!"

Just a simple phrase I heard from an announcer. She talked about how she just thought it was the game people were watching, but soon she found out there were people who turned on the game just to hear her speak. One depressed listener shared a story about how he found strength from what she said, as if she was speaking to him. It's not over yet, it's not over yet. The game is not over for this player, for this man.

Times like these, I really feel there is power in words, in speech.

The Aftermaths

What is beyond, happily ever after?
What happens in the everyday life of the protagonists?
Those that found love, those that conquered evil. Those that achieved?
Jesus has conquered death, saved us from our sins.
We wait upon his arrival to become a part of the happily ever after.
But what about the now? The in-between.
The war was won, but battles still arise.
Tragedy still strikes, hardships linger.
What does tomorrow hold?
What are we to hold onto?
