There is one story in particular that I am looking for; it told the tale of a boy who was given a desert fox as a present--the fox was magical, it...http://sparowe.livejournal.com/985211.html Proverbs 19:8-9 (NIV)- July 14, 2008 8 He who gets wisdom loves his own soul; he who cherishes understanding prospers. 9 A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who pours out lies will perish.Linkhttp://sparowe.livejournal.com/985016.html Lyrically Appropriate (For "6th Man Down")- July 14, 2008 Linkin Park's "By Myself"What do I do to ignore them behind meDo I follow my instincts blindlyDo I hide my pridefrom these bad dreams andgive in to sad thoughts that are maddeningDo I sit here and try to stand itOr do Itry to catch them red-handedDo I trust some and get fooled by phoninessOr do I trust nobody and live in loneliness'Cause I can't hold on when I'm stretched so thinI make the right moves but I'm lost withinI put on my daily facade but thenI just end up getting hurt againBy...http://sparowe.livejournal.com/984690.html Quoth...
