Ah, For A Muse of Fire...

On the news I saw the extremists replaced the cross on our church in Mosul with the black flag of the Islamic State. They are doing a call of Islamic prayer from our church. They have turned it into a mosque.

I can't believe it. I wanted to cry when I saw this on the news.
Much is being asked of these. Joy without a cause. Faith without a hope.

Heartbreaking. And infuriating.

There are no words for news like this.

The Hagia Sophia used to belong to Christianity. Guess what happened.

Ymar has a point.

He does.

And an edge!

True. But to be most like a sword, he would also need balance and temper.

Some prefer a balance 6 or more inches in front of the guard, others prefer a balance 1-3 inches forward of the guard.

The center of gravity favors some techniques, such as downward slashing attacks, more than others.

As such, balance is more like a personal preference than an objective standard.
