The journey from your mind to your hands is shorter than you're thinking. Be careful if you think you stand. You just might be sinking. It's a slow fade when you give yourself away. It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray. Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid.

–Mark Hall, Casting Crowns, from “Slow Fade” on The Altar & The Door, 2007
