Sometimes life is more than simply chasing the proverbial dream…
“Since it is so likely that children will meet cruel enemies,
let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage.”
C.S. Lewis
Certain thoughts are prayers.
There are moments when, whatever be the attitude of the body,
the soul is on its knees.
Victor Hugo

“On your knees…”
A command that conjures many an image in one’s mind…depending on your age or experiences….
“On your knees…”
A command often dictated by one who is about to behead or otherwise kill another.
“On your knees…”
A common urban phrase used predominantly by a hip hop culture for the demeaning demand that another,
most often a woman, perform a lewed act.
“On your knees…”
A command given once by kings as they prepared to knight their subjects.
“On you knees…”
Children were once known to learn at their mother’s knee.
“On your knees…”
A sign of submission.
As in someone commanding another to…beg…
Begging for mercy,
or for one’s own life…
Yet for me,
upon my knees…
is the only place I long to be…
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
2 Philippians 2:9-11
