We made this video as an offering and prayer as we celebrate Pentecost Sunday. The songs are “Set a Fire” and “Burning in Me”

You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.
Pablo Neruda (via thelittlephilosopher)
A young husband should say to his bride: ‘I have taken you in my arms, and I love you, and I prefer you to my life itself. For the present life is nothing, and my most ardent dream is to spend it with you in such a way that we may be assured of not being separated in the life reserved for us.’
 St. John Chrysostom (via sunbeam-onacloudyday)
If anyone claims to have met Jesus without being changed, he has not met Him at all. When you touch Him, you touch lightning.
Peter Kreeft  (via thefullnessofthefaith)

No, this is a variation on a circle parry and a counter circle parry. Both are commonly taught in French and Italian style foil fencing.
A circle parry is when you avoid your opponents blade by moving your blade around theirs in a circle. A counter circle parry is circling around your opponents circle so that they can’t get their blade past to stab you.
When two fencers know each other well, this often happens. It becomes a game of chicken, it only ends when someone is willing to risk leaving an opening so that they can launch a different attack.
The foil version of this happens at least once a practice on my college fencing team. The only difference is that the blades are horizontal rather than diagonal.

Bolded for sadness

Friendly reminder that the man who choreographed the Star Wars saber fights is called “The Swordsmaster” for a reason.
Also, friendly reminder that MY FEELS HURT.
