The cornerstone laid on November 4, 1886 evolved into this magnificent Chateauesque structure. Cleveland architect Levi T. Scofield designed the Ohio State Reformatory using a combination of three architectural styles; Victorian Gothic, Richardsonian Romanesque and Queen Anne. This was done to encourage inmates back to a "rebirth" of their spiritual lives. The architecture itself inspired them to turn away from their sinful lifestyle, and toward repentance
The Reformatory doors were opened to its first 150 young offenders in September 1896. After housing over 155,000 men in its lifetime, the doors to the prison closed December 31, 1990.
Today the Ohio State Reformatory Historic Site receives visitors from all over the world. Every year tourists, movie buffs, thrill seekers and paranormal investigators walk through the halls of this majestic structure.

Standing on Trailtrow Hill, Repentance Tower formed part of a chain of defense posts which warned against English raiding parties who crossed the border.
This three-storey tower house was founded by Sir John Maxwell of Terregles in the mid 16th century.
In 1548 an English force challenged the Douglases at Durisdeer, who were under the charge of Sir John. The night before the battle, he had been bribed to change sides in exchange for the hand of Agnes Herries and the title Lord Herries. His treachery, however, cost the lives of 12 of his kinsmen, who had been held at Carlisle Castle as hostages, one of which was his 12-year-old nephew. Maxwell was said to have built the tower as a sign of his remorse.
Another version of the tale has it that Repentance Tower was so-called because Lord Herries built Hoddom Castle out of stones from Trailtrow Chapel.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance
2 Peter 3:9 KJV
...but of love, power, and a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7)
In the beginning of 2008, I began to experience this very bizarre thing. I would panic on the train, and in class. Whenever I would be around people, I would start to get hot, sweat a lot, then get cold, shake, and become extremely nauseated. It gradually got worse and worse to the point where I had no idea what to do with myself. My grandma forbid me from going to counseling despite the fact that I truly had to face it: I had a panic disorder, becoming more than a little agoraphobic. This severely hindered my social interaction. Only the Lord knows how I held down a job at my school's photography darkroom for a semester while this was happening. Nightmares accompanied, and the devil attacked me on a daily basis because I was so weak in my faith and extremely backslidden.

The Fourth Day of Creation (woodcut by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld from the 1860 Die Bibel in Bildern)
New King James Version (NKJV)
Genesis 1:14-19
Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. So the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard
“For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. Now when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, and said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went. Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise. And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and said to them, ‘Why have you been standing here idle all day?’ They said to him, ‘Because no one hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right you will receive.’ “So when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, ‘Call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first.’ And when those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a denarius. But when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received each a denarius. And when they had received it, they complained against the landowner, saying, ‘These last men have worked only one hour, and you made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day.’ But he answered one of them and said, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius? Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man the same as to you. Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your eye evil because I am good?’ So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.”

Every once in a while I think I'm lying. Take it to the bank, I'll believe ever word I say. Then again, this is when you start your prying. But there's a thought it could be true. But this just ins't how I imagined it would be. With these random people just asking the most personal things. To think that somehow I could always come clean. And you shake your head just like you know what I mean. You're a Christian, tell the sinner, find repentance. It's your last chance. You believer, where's your patience? Answer questions, put on faces. What about God? For you and me. All have fallen short (To see if it's right or wrong to listen to this song. I don't want you too to see if you're okay with all the words I say. It can't be this way) Somehow, someone's more equal than others. Depending on the words we choose to say. A glance at her too long tonight. But everything I'm saying is right in your ears. We are all the sisters and the brothers. Until we find we don't believe the same, like... Gary's getting drunk to forget Sarah. Sarah is stealing money from her parents. Aaron is lying straight to John about Megan and the things that went on. Jessica's a gossip. Laura's a slut. Derrick hits Bridget. Ben deals drugs. Seth spends all his money gambling. Joey stopped praying. It's all the same. We are all the same people with sinning hearts that make us equal. Here's my hand, not words said desperately. It's not our job to MAKE anyone believe.

Penance is repentance of sins as well as the proper name of the Roman Catholic, Orthodox Christian, and Anglican Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation/Confession. It also plays a part in non-sacramental confession among Lutherans and other Protestants. The word penance derives from Old French and Latin poenitentia, both of which derive from the same root meaning repentance, the desire to be forgiven

“[The Old Astronomer to His Pupil]
Reach me down my Tycho Brahe, I would know him when we meet,
When I share my later science, sitting humbly at his feet;
He may know the law of all things, yet be ignorant of how
We are working to completion, working on from then to now.
Pray remember that I leave you all my theory complete,
Lacking only certain data for your adding, as is meet,
And remember men will scorn it, 'tis original and true,
And the obloquy of newness may fall bitterly on you.
But, my pupil, as my pupil you have learned the worth of scorn,
You have laughed with me at pity, we have joyed to be forlorn,
What for us are all distractions of men's fellowship and smiles;
What for us the Goddess Pleasure with her meretricious smiles.
You may tell that German College that their honor comes too late,
But they must not waste repentance on the grizzly savant's fate.
Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light;
I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
What, my boy, you are not weeping? You should save your eyes for sight;
You will need them, mine observer, yet for many another night.
I leave none but you, my pupil, unto whom my plans are known.
You 'have none but me,' you murmur, and I 'leave you quite alone'?
Well then, kiss me, -- since my mother left her blessing on my brow,
There has been a something wanting in my nature until now;
I can dimly comprehend it, -- that I might have been more kind,
Might have cherished you more wisely, as the one I leave behind.
I 'have never failed in kindness'? No, we lived too high for strife,--
Calmest coldness was the error which has crept into our life;
But your spirit is untainted, I can dedicate you still
To the service of our science: you will further it? you will!
There are certain calculations I should like to make with you,
To be sure that your deductions will be logical and true;
And remember, 'Patience, Patience,' is the watchword of a sage,
Not to-day nor yet to-morrow can complete a perfect age.
I have sown, like Tycho Brahe, that a greater man may reap;
But if none should do my reaping, 'twill disturb me in my sleep
So be careful and be faithful, though, like me, you leave no name;
See, my boy, that nothing turn you to the mere pursuit of fame.
I must say Good-bye, my pupil, for I cannot longer speak;
Draw the curtain back for Venus, ere my vision grows too weak:
It is strange the pearly planet should look red as fiery Mars,--
God will mercifully guide me on my way amongst the stars.”

New King James Version (NKJV)
And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’

Martin Luther (November 10, 1483–February 18, 1546) was a German university professor whose confrontation with Charles V at the Diet of Worms over freedom of conscience in 1521 shook the Holy Roman Empire. He was a monk, theologian, and church reformer as well.
Luther's theology challenged the authority of the papacy by holding that the Bible is the only infallible source of religious authority and that all baptized Christians are a priesthood of believers. According to Luther, salvation was attainable only by true repentance and faith in Jesus as the Messiah, a faith unmediated by the church. These ideas inspired the Protestant Reformation and changed the course of Western civilization.
Luther's refusal to submit to the authority of Charles V resulted in his being declared an outlaw of the state as he had been excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church. Because of the perceived unity of the medieval Roman Catholic Church with the secular rulers of western Europe, the widespread acceptance of Luther's doctrines and popular vindication of his thinking on individual liberties were both phenomenal and unprecedented.
His translation of the Bible into the vernacular, making it more accessible to ordinary people, had a tremendous political impact on the church and on German culture. It furthered the development of a standard version of the German language, added several principles to the art of translation,and influenced the translation of the English King James Bible. His hymns inspired the development of congregational singing within Christianity. His marriage to Katharina von Bora set a model for the practice of clerical marriage within Protestantism.
Much scholarly debate has concentrated on Luther's writings about the Jews. His statements that Jews' homes should be destroyed, their synagogues burned, money confiscated and liberty curtailed were revived and used in propaganda by the Nazis in 1933–45. As a result of this and his revolutionary theological views, his legacy remains controversial.

"Oh, what is my repentance ! Oh, a flute is not worth all that ! Despite his cries, his skin is torn off his whole body; (..) his naked muscles become visible; a convulsive movement trembles the veins, lacking their covering of skin." (Ovid: Metamorphoses, Book VI, verses 386-390). This is how Apollo punishes Marsyas, the satyr who dared to question the superiority of the melody of the divine lyre over the worldly sensuality of his flute.
This masterpiece by Jusepe de Ribera was painted in 1637, when his style had reached maturity. The passage from Ovid's Metamorphoses depicted here is the fruit of the aesthetic atmosphere that prevailed at Naples, considered the capital of painting of the time. It is in this context that the painter highlights the confrontation between the divine and the earthly, with the form of representation underlining the content. From his Caravaggesque beginnings, Rivera preserved the expressiveness and the modelling provided by chiaroscuro. But the contrasts characterising this manifestation of Neapolitan Baroque are no longer limited to the clashes of light. De Ribera goes further, achieving a sense of the tragic through every item in the canvas. Like Caravaggio, he made use of popular sources and of real life situations in order to represent the expression of faith. In this way his paintings of figures who, like Marsyas, could have come from the alleyways of Naples, had already achieved renown right across Europe.
The figure of the god is marked by the classicism which was then in fashion in Naples. His anatomical perfection, his youth and his idealised beauty are surrounded by flowing, airy draperies which accentuate the diagonal thrust of the composition. In the spirit of the baroque, the roughness of Marsyas' body and the shape of the tree contrast with this classicism. As in his famous depictions of martyrs, Ribera places the victim foreshortened in the foreground. The structure is balanced by a group of forest inhabitants who watch on powerless as the god bears down on his victim.

My Friend: I am asking you the most important question of life. Your joy or your sorrow for all eternity
depends upon your answer. The question is: Are you saved? It is not a question of how good you are, nor if
you are a church member, but are you saved? Are you sure you will go to Heaven when you die?
God says in order to go to Heaven, you must be born again. In John 3:7, Jesus said to Nicodemus, “Ye must be
born again.”
In the Bible God gives us the plan of how to be born again which means to be saved. His plan is simple! You
can be saved today. How?
First, my friend, you must realize you are a sinner. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God”
(Romans 3:23).
Because you are a sinner, you are condemned to death. “For the wages [payment] of sin is death” (Romans
6:23). This includes eternal separation from God in Hell.
“ . . . it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).
But God loved you so much He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, to bear your sin and die in your place.
“ . . . He hath made Him [Jesus, Who knew no sin] to be sin for us . . . that we might be made the righteousness
of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21).
Jesus had to shed His blood and die. “For the life of the flesh is in the blood” (Lev. 17:11). “ . . . without
shedding of blood is no remission [pardon]” (Hebrews 9:22).
“ . . . God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
(Romans 5:8).
Although we cannot understand how, God said my sins and your sins were laid upon Jesus and He died in our
place. He became our substitute. It is true. God cannot lie.
My friend, “God . . . commandeth all men everywhere to repent” (Acts 17:30). This repentance is a change of
mind that agrees with God that one is a sinner, and also agrees with what Jesus did for us on the Cross.
In Acts 16:30-31, the Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas: “ . . . ‘Sirs, what must I do to be saved?’ And they
said, ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved . . . .’ ”
Simply believe on Him as the one who bore your sin, died in your place, was buried, and whom God
resurrected. His resurrection powerfully assures that the believer can claim everlasting life when Jesus is
received as Savior.
“But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe
on His name” (John 1:12).
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13).
Whosoever includes you. Shall be saved means not maybe, nor can, but shall be saved.
Surely, you realize you are a sinner. Right now, wherever you are, repenting, lift your heart to God in prayer.
In Luke 18:13, the sinner prayed: “God be merciful to me a sinner.” Just pray: “Oh God, I know I am a sinner.
I believe Jesus was my substitute when He died on the Cross. I believe His shed blood, death, burial, and
resurrection were for me. I now receive Him as my Savior. I thank You for the forgiveness of my sins, the gift
of salvation and everlasting life, because of Your merciful grace. Amen.”
Just take God at His word and claim His salvation by faith. Believe, and you will be saved. No church, no
lodge, no good works can save you. Remember, God does the saving. All of it!
God’s simple plan of salvation is: You are a sinner. Therefore, unless you believe on Jesus Who died in your
place, you will spend eternity in Hell. If you believe on Him as your crucified, buried, and risen Savior, you
receive forgiveness for all of your sins and His gift of eternal salvation by faith.
You say, “Surely, it cannot be that simple.” Yes, that simple! It is scriptural. It is God’s plan. My friend, believe
on Jesus and receive Him as Savior today.
If His plan is not perfectly clear, read this tract over and over, without laying it down, until you understand
it. Your soul is worth more than all the world.
“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?” (Mark 8:36).
Be sure you are saved. If you lose your soul, you miss Heaven and lose all. Please! Let God save you this very
moment.
God’s power will save you, keep you saved, and enable you to live a victorious Christian life. “There hath no
temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, Who will not suffer you to be tempted
above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it” (1
Corinthians 10:13).
Do not trust your feelings. They change. Stand on God’s promises. They never change. After you are saved,
there are three things to practice daily for spiritual growth:
Pray -- you talk to God.
Read your Bible -- God talks to you.
Witness -- you talk for God.
You should be baptized in obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ as a public testimony of your salvation, and
then unite with a Bible-believing church without delay. “Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of
our Lord . . . .” (2 Timothy 1:8)
“Whosoever therefore shall confess [testify of] Me before men, him will I confess also before My Father which
is in heaven” (Matthew 10:32).
I feel ill with words of repentance and love
i could never forget what it felt like
to feel my heart drop and watch as
lonley insects swarmed around it
and fed off like a disease to a diagnosed patient
you no longer see me
What am i doing but holding back tears
and thinking of you
With this tainted image of me
with no longer love but disappointment
i'm still here
i just forgot i was human for a second
and that i can't just be some image
i have error
I long to hear your voice again
untainted with openness
i'm sorry for what i have done
i'm sorry
what have i done?
and for what i have done i am truly sorry
Words for you are like my pot of gold
let me not have spent my riches
but without this friendship i feel poor
though i will still reflect on what we had
and all of the potential...
7 Angels 7 Plagues - A Farewell To A Perfect Score (L)
At College, Djapi Aims-Dreams-Hopes-Wishes were to become a Medical Doctor after Universty Learnings-Studyings. But unfortunately, the "ADVANCED LEVEL=BACCALEAUREAT", without which, NO UNIVERSITY, Djapi wrote the Exams three good years accademics and ever failed, all of Djapi Ideas and Thoughts of University went in vain. At Twenty-nine years old, Djapi had wasted very long time on the School banches for nothing. Leaving and forgetting about Education, where Djapi registered the worser scores, Djapi throwed himself into the Active life regretting seriously so long time, so many efforts, so many courages, and everything Djapi set together to achieve successes in Education. Therefore, neither a handiwork nor whatever Djapi knew and could thereby earn his life. Had Djapi chosen, Technic at School, it will have been easy to look for the Job on which he would have studied, but it was not the case. Djapi wanted to be of those of "INTELLECTUALITY-LITERATURE".
What then could Djapi do?. Confused and Deceived, the Anger and Bitterness were within Djapi constantly and permanently. When Djapi laterall, Unexpectedly "RECEIVED THE WISE PROVIDENCE (Q:7:57)", which fed Djapi with New Hopes of "MILITARY EDUCATION (Q:8:15)", Djapi gained and won New Energies-Forces-Powers to "CONQUER" the other Alternatives. But when Djapi "RECEIVED THE FISRT DREAM (Q:7:206) OF LIFE", at twenty-nine years old, Djapi wasn't able to Comprehend and Understand the "SPIRITUAL LIFE-SPIRITUAL LIGHT (Q:6:122)", which ALLAH/GOD "BESTOWED or PROVIDED" UPON Djapi. The "REALITY and TRUTH PRINCIPLES (Q:41:35) OF Djapi enabled him to keep on Looking-Seeing-Watching things Physically as Usual. For Djapi was completely "SPIRITUALLY DEAD". But being the "WILL and PLAN" OF ALLAH/GOD, WHO "RESUURECTED Djapi (Q:6:122),(Q:7:58)}-WHO REVIVED Djapi (Q:57:17)", everything werer Moving and Working as Willed and Planned (Q:58:22). But Djapi remained Ignorant even after had been Greatly and Highy "BLESSED". At then exactly "THIRTY-FIVE (35) YEARS OLD", ALLAH/GOD CALLED DJAPI UNTO "LIFE PROBATION or TEST =REPENTANCE (AT 35 years old)". Djapi went and the "PROBATION WAS PREDESTINED and DESTINED INTO Austrian PRISON", for which Djapi used Two Years Journey, to Arrive-Attain and Reach the "PLACE=PRISON=THE HIGHST LIFE'S SCHOOL=WISDOM'S SCHOOL {Named by the Muslims, out of the case of PROPHET Joseph UNTO Egytian PRISON=which became the Case of REPENTANCE MESSENGER, His GRACE METAPHYSICIAN MARTYR SAINT DJAPI UNTO Austrian PRISON=SIMILAR TO PROPHET Moses who went TO ANSWER THE DIVINE CALL ON MOUNT SINAI and CAME BACK WITH [THE TAURAT]=Djapi WILL THEN GO TO Austria PRISON and CAME OUT WITH [AT-TAUBA=REPENTANCE BOOK]=RECEIVED KNOWLEDGE and WISDOM (Q:2:269)}: Causes-Motives-Reasons:
(Q:2:37)-Then learnt Adam from his Lord
Certain words* and his Lord
Turned towards him; for He
Is Oft-Returning, Most Mercifu.
Certain words: As "names" in (Q:2:31) is used for the "nature of things", so "WORDS" here means "INSPIRATION". The Arabic word used for "LEARN" here IMPLIES SOME EFFORTS on his part, to which ALLAH'S GRACE RESPONDED.
BACKING DIVINE WORDS UNTO DIVINE ACTIONS-THERE IS THE "PURE DESCRIPTION OF [THAT] WHICH Djapi WAS [TAUGHT=INSPIRED (Q:17:85)].
(Q:18:65)-So they found one*
Of Our servants.
On whom We have bestowed
Mercy from Ourselves
And whom We had taught
Knowledge from Our own*
Presence.
So they found one: One of Our servants: his name is not indiated in the Qur'an, but Tradition gives it sa Kidhr. Round him have gathered a number of pictureque folk tales, with which we are not here concerned, "Kidhr" means "Green": His KNOWLEDGE IS FRESH and GREEN, and DRAWN OUT OF THE LIVING SOURCES OF LIFE FOR IT IS FROM ALLAH'S OWN KNOWLEDGE. He IS A MYSTERIOUS BEINGS, who has to be sought. He HAS SCRETS OF SOME PARADOXES OF LIFE, which ordinary people do not Understand, or Understand in a wrong sense, as we shall see further on....
Knowledgeof Our own: Kidhr HAD TWO SPECIAL GIFTS FROM ALLAH:
1)-MERCY FROM HIM, and
2)-KNOWLEDGE FROM HIM TOO.
THE FISRT FREED Him from the ordinary incidents of daily human life: and THE SECOND ENTITLED Him TO INTERPRET THE INNER MEANING and MYSTERY OF EVENTS, as we shall see further...
BACKING DIVINE WORDS UNTO DIVINE ACTIONS-THERE IS His GRACE METAPHYSICIAN GREEN MARTYR SAINT DJAPI "APPLYING and IMPLYING THE NOBLE HOLYQUR'ANIC VERSE (Q:22:59)=GREEN MARTYRDOM=REPENTANCE=ALLAH/GOD'S FORGIVENESS".
Behold! None of the Actual and Present Muslim "COMPREHEND nor UNDERSTAND"=BUT IT IS.
N.B: LIKEWISE SO IT IS THE Austrian REPENTANCE INTERNET-BOOK [AT-TAUBA] OF Djapi.
"His GRACE METAPHYSICIAN GREEN MARTYR SAINT DJAPI"
"ye are nor have nothing without Repentance".
Good Luck!
