But without faith, it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Hebrew 11:6 "What is our purpose here?" glancing up at the stars before turning to face him, a gentle smile on his face. "Someone once told me that our purpose is to cherish this entire journey and establish everlasting memories throughout," his gaze reflecting the twinkling stars above us. As I took in his words, his stare, and the way the breeze ruffled his hair softly, my heart skip a beat. "But, to me, I think, No I know, our purpose is To seek Him." "Look for Him? Do you mean God?" "Yes, God is what I mean." The firmness and certainty in his tone drew me in, and I found myself leaning in closer to hear his steady, quiet voice. "I think that the reason we are here is to find our way back to the One who created this world and us all to once more have a connection to the love and peacefulness that He has always desired for us."

Dear brothers and sisters

Sometimes all you really need is a place to call home. *** Claire is lost and scared and utterly alone. Her family is in shambles after the death of her older sister Ina, and she's left to pick up the broken pieces of herself as her life heads into a downwards spiral of loneliness. Her heart leads her to 5:48, a little cafe by 33rd street, where she finds her new home. With a broken heart and a speech disability, Jasper has his heart and mouth sewn shut by the winding threads of hurt and fear. Painting and serving coffee in cafe 5:48 are one of his last few saving graces, but the smile he's been painting on himself will soon fade away as everything he's ever held dear slips away from his grasp. Ezra is out-of-sync and oddly cold by the way life has treated his young self. Abandoned by his single mother at an early age, he has grown up thinking that he is a mistake. His constant shaking hands are a reflection of what he often thinks of himself, but the delightful pastries he bakes for 5:48's customers are a reflection of what others see of him. Drew is a quirky rarity. He is a dash of loud, a pinch of exuberant, and a cup of eccentric - just like the meals he serves in the cafe as the only chef there. Behind his playful grins and outlandish clothes, however, are his jutting ribs, hollowed cheeks, and too-thin arms. Sometimes he cannot stomach being in his own skin as much as he cannot stomach food. This family has gone a long way from finding each other, and they'll be going a long way together too as reality comes catching up to them, threatening the newfound happiness they've found with each other. Secrets are revealed, pasts become presents, and lives are changed. Slowly but surely, they find their way back home. *** NOTE AS OF 08/2026: This is the old version of the story from 2012, posted in FULL. Another story that will be considered a reprise of this old version is in the works, and will be posted under the name "Hiraya House."

Dear no one, I don’t know why I’m writing this. Doesn't make much sense to me, but I was told to and…I guess I’ll finally do what I’m told. Ms. Webb said I should do this and that it would help with my memory. I don’t really know what I’m supposed to be remembering but I guess that’s the problem.

This is your challenge: grow spiritually, do things you didn't know you could, and delve into a deeper relationship with your Creator. There is no room for wimps. Be commited. Start now.
