What Am I Bid?

So I'm at a hotel with my family...for no reason at all, other than to get away from all the "stress" of everyday life...its like 5 minutes from my house lol...anyways, thought I would share something from the book Red Moon Rising with you. So enjoy:

Suddenly I find myself in a giant hall. Surrounding me are thousands of young people, battered, bruised, and broken. Then suddenly, I hear a voice: "What am I bid?"

A young girl stands out before the crowd of leering, sneering men.
"What am I bid for this piece of flesh?"

The men start to cheer and shout figures: "Ten," "Twenty," "Fifty,"
"One hundred."

What can I do, God?

I start to bid. I have to save her. The cost becomes huge, and I begin to waiver. Can I afford this? What price will I pay?

The dream stops.

I'm alone again. But the faces are real enough: Sarah being sold into prostitution; Mike with a revolver in his mouth; Kat covered in cuts and bruises; John falling into crime; Laura alone and desperate; Steve, heroin needle bulging into his vein.

"What am I bid?"

The voice shatters the silence. The auction is on again. The bidding has begun. It continues day and night until the end. Most of the bidders desire only use and abuse. Satan drives them on.

And so I find myself in the auction. Will I watch or will I bid? The price of a single life is huge. The currency is prayer. The cost is massive, but the prize is glorious. A life for a life.

What am I bid?

First This

Hey everyone and welcome to my new blog. I have another one (www.xanga.com/brokenheart4god) but I liked the format of blogspot better and its easier to use. I will definitely continue updating both of them though. But as you may know, I only update about once a month so, yea. I'm not quite sure yet what I will use this one for but I'm contemplating a few different things. One; I could use it to talk about the more "natural" side of things going on in my life (i.e. what I did today, plans for the summer, social things, pictures etc.) and use my xanga for my deeper spiritual thoughts and things going on in that area, or vice versa. I could also just use this one exactly how I use my xanga and just write about the same stuff in both...or I could use this one to write what God has been teaching me lately, spiritual insight, and poems, songs, etc that I have heard recently...yea, I think I'll go with that one. So I'll use my xanga for telling about my personal life, and my relationship with God, and my thoughts, emotions, etc. And I will use this one sort of as a "spiritual insight outlet" so to say. Ok, well, I hope you enjoy what I post and come along with me, and learn about the depths of this Man Jesus.
