AN: silentescape (School makes you crazy, eh? It's certainly not making your reviews less like you said they would. That's a good thing! I wish I had more time so I could read all the stories I want to. My time on the internet is limited since we only have one phone line, but I get to it when I can. I appreciate your reviews so much. And you think I'm taking it slowly with The Dare? I thought so, at least until I got the idea for Shades of Color. I think I'm really drawing it out with that one. And don't be so in doubt of your predicting skills! That's kind of where I was going with this. And don't worry, I'm all for those romantic comedies. Have you ever seen 'Never Been Kissed'? With Drew Barrymore. Most of her movies I am in love with. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll be sure to see that one!) JC-Saved-Me (Yeah, I know I am goign to have children in teh future whether they are my own or whether I adopt and I'm going to name them all names from teh Bible. I absolutely adore teh name Rebecca, also! I guess I've made The Dare a little too obvious... but I have some twists planned!) LydiaLyriss (I was hoping my beginning to Shades of Color wouldn't be boring, and I'm glad you think it's okay. I really wanted to create a beginning to my story to catch reader's attentions, thanks! I'm happy it caught yours. Of course, I'm a little too obvious with giving clues about what happens later, butI think I might have a few twists in store for this story, too.)

You Are Real

My beliefs are foreign

To the people I know

They all wonder at

The sense of God I show

No one has the respect

To get down and kneel

And listen to God

He knows how we feel

Sometimes I wonder

How it would be

To live my whole life

And not at all see

The love God has for us

And continues to display

To not know He’s there for me

Every minute of every day

How they don’t feel empty

That I have yet to know

Whom do they turn to

When they have nowhere to go?

I’m just glad I have Someone

Who knows how I feel

Even though some don’t believe

Lord, I know You are real
