I can hear a voice protesting…and then it is given lyrics.
What a beautiful smile
A radiant girl
Fell in love first time I saw her
She stays on my mind
I’d give anything
To know everything about her
Pre-Chorus:
There’s light in her eyes
And I know its all for him
She carries on and on
Like he was her best friend
Chorus:
She’s in love (echo)
Its [...]

It’s not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You’re still young, that’s your fault,
There’s so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I’m happy.
-Cat Stevens, “Father & Son”
I am tired. And thankful for music. And notes from friends. [...]

I am the only one to blame for this
Somehow it all ends up the same
Soaring on the wings of selfish pride
I flew too high and like Icarus I collide
With a world I try so hard to leave behind
To rid myself of all but love
To give and die
To turn away and not become
Another nail to pierce [...]

who do you think you are?
who do you think you are?
and as the wind blows i stumble across the sea
and as the sea flows through my hair i seem to be
transformed
into a creature
that thinks before it speaks
and i will find that
i know exactly what i do
when i drive a nail in you
lord forgive me
i’m so [...]

i stumble and i trip and i am reminded it’s all about love.
how easily i forget in my passionate nature that loves to discuss.
i was told to go into law for a reason and my philosophy training certainly helped cement my ability - i can separate my emotions from my arguments and look at the [...]

where do the years go? two sets of friends get married in less than two weeks…and i wonder when i blinked…
life sometimes seems as if it is but a dream.

in memory of dad, who loved rich mullins for a season during his illness…
and in memory of the refrain, which i have whispered at times when the pain has been to great to breathe…
So hold me Jesus, ’cause I’m shaking like a leaf
You have been King of my glory
Won’t You be my Prince of Peace

“Hold [...]

“Is what I’m living for worth dying for?”

Who do we say that He is, with our lives?
Who do we say that He is, in the words we say?
Who do we say that He is, for the little eyes watching you and me?
Where have we gone with His heart, with our lives?
Where have we gone with His heart, in the words we say?
Where [...]

Slow down. Hold still.
It’s not as if it’s a matter of will.
Someone’s circling. Someone’s moving
a little lower than the angels.
And it’s got nothing to do with me.
The wind blows through the trees,
but if I look for it, it won’t come.
I tense up. My mind goes numb.
There’s nothing harder than learning how to receive.
Calm down. Be [...]

I don’t have a chance at writing the book. I just want to be a page in Jeannie’s diary. One single page. -Eels
I need a backrub this morning.
And some strong coffee.
Another dress fitting tonight for my second wedding this year.
I’m hungry to read and to write but to work I go.
Goodmorning! =)

Please forgive me
If I act a little strange
For I know not what I do.
Feels like lightning running through my veins
Every time I look at you
Every time I look at you
Help me out here
All my words are falling short
And theres so much I want to say
Want to tell you just how good it feels
When you look [...]

Still going through paperwork; sometimes I am sure I will drown in it before I swim my way out.
Stumbled across a note; last year, when Anna and I hosted a 24 hour prayer session at our townhome (during which college students who desired came to our townhome and spent 24 consecutive hours praying for individual, [...]

LOL.
I’m going through paperwork today and came across a note I wrote my roommate, Suz, who at the time was leaving for a week’s vacation - I scribbled on a piece of paper and left the note on the dining room table - I must have been dashing out the door when I scribbled the [...]

It’s a dreary day outside; I’m enjoying my coffee and having a morning off. I have much to do but I am still working at not working very hard so that I can fully recover; lovely tension. I am thankful for the beauty of my apartment. It is lovely to curl up [...]

This is what comes, he says, of giving one’s heart to anything but God. All human beings pass away. Do not let your happiness depend on something you may lose. If love is to be a blessing, not a misery, it must be for the only Beloved who will never pass away.
- C.S. Lewis, The [...]

Much on my heart tonight…

I’ve been having some great conversation lately with a friend regarding Jesus. And I couldn’t help but think of the following lyrics (emphasis mine), which captures truth that I think those who profess Christianity need to grapple with, myself first and foremost, and not just once, but continually, lest theology, semantics, and pride blind us [...]

I killed over sixty flies today.
I was horrified when I threw back my blinds to see a swarm and immediately set out to exterminate them with a vengeance.
Not the morning activity I was expecting; I keep an immaculately clean house (”clean” albeit not necessarily neat, as I seem to constantly be swimming in the middle [...]
