The original call of Jesus was so simple, so clean, so clear: “Follow Me.” He wants us to surrender our lives to Him and follow Him into the unknown. And if it means a life of suffering, hardship, and disappointment, it will be worth it because following Jesus Christ is more powerful [...]

I’ve got 900 things on my mind this afternoon.
And our office is an inferno. It’s registering over 80 degrees, with the doors open (it’s below 60 degrees outside); on top of that, I have a desk fan blowing on me and then there is a huge fan we brought down from the second [...]

Old friends, like comforting old tee shirts worn to bed, are fabulous. Absolutely fabulous.

So I’m a little left of center
I’m a little out of tune
Some say I’m paranormal
So I just bend their spoon
Who wants to be ordinary
In a crazy, mixed-up world
I don’t care what they’re sayin’

On one of my online profiles, I have the following, paraphrased from a book I read a while ago:
I’m like a swamp. You can’t see where you’re stepping and sooner or later, you just know you’re going to get stuck in quicksand. And the more you struggle to get free, the deeper you get [...]

Ever lie in bed at night and wonder if your life is real? If the decisions you’ve made are really the decisions you’ve made? If you really work the jobs you do, are in the relationships you are, if you really said that to so and so yesterday? Do you ever feel [...]

It’s amazing to me, our emotions, and how illogical they can be simply being tied to how tired we are!
I am physically drained today, and it’s a good day overall – nothing exceptional going on…and yet, I feel like I am just two steps ahead of the tears. Why? I could [...]

I had always suspected language was quite limited in its ability to communicate the intricate mysteries of truth. By that I mean if you have to describe loneliness or how beautiful your sweetheart is or the way a rainstorm smells in summer, you most likely have to use poetry because these things are not [...]

Today I woke up to the playful kisses of a little four pound Yorkshire terrier. Penny had spent the night with her momma (my roommate) – she generally lives with Suzy’s fiancé, Teddy, but Suzy was gone all weekend and came home late last night and brought Penny with her, so I got kisses [...]

there is no love like the love of Christ’s. the pain of this world still touches us, still leaves its mark, but Jesus heals like no one else can, and He loves so tenderly, so perfectly, so thoroughly, so intimately.
i was broken the first time i heard this song, and it’s simple lyrics washed over [...]

Best listened to without viewing; the pictures are distracting.

I wonder what it would be like to know what each other are truly thinking…
Heaven or hell?
Would it depend upon the moment we know another’s thoughts? Could we bare to stand it? To know what another thinks of us, truly? Even those who love us the most and love us deeply? Is it a mercy [...]

i’m baking an acorn squash - my heart is happy. i love squash. and i love to cook and currently carry on the single life so cooking is rarely in my schedule - no time…so when i do find time, it’s such a pleasure and treat. i think i’ll make a proper dinner tonight, too.
it’s [...]

maybe you can tell my why i’m prone to wander
i’m like a gypsy to the bone
every time i hear the rain amid the thunder
i want to run outside and shed my clothes
but i want to stay with you
long enough to love you right
and i want to say to you
i love the patience in your eyes

We don’t need a lot of money.
We’ll be sleeping on the beach,
keeping oceans within reach.
(Whatever private oceans we can conjure up for free.)
I will stumble there with you
and you’ll be laughing close with me,
trying not to make a scene
etcetera. Whatever. I guess all I really mean
is we’re gonna be alright.
Yeah, we’re gonna be alright.
You can [...]

Tantalizingly close
Yet tortuously out of reach
Expectant hope
Future reality
Seventeen minutes.

Dialogue restores my soul. Refreshes my spirit. And makes me smile.
Communication, whether in person, through books and magazines, through email, through instant messaging, through blogs and comments, is something that absolutely makes me giddy at times. I LOVE it. I need it. I crave it.
They say you know [...]

if this should end tomorrow
all our best laid plans
and all our typical fears
am I running out of lifetimes
this is not the first time
something ends in just tears
but tomorrow I can’t imagine
how am I supposed to know
what’s yet to go down ?
is there only one religion
the kind that whispers
when nobody comes around ?
the world [...]

How does one learn to accept love?
I don’t do a very good job of it sometimes. The easy thought is to assume that for someone who has trouble receiving it, it is due to some heartbreak, some pain, some disappointment in their life, and while there may be some truth to that, the real issue [...]

This weather is beyond strange; two days ago, it was in the mid seventies; this morning, I had to scrape frost off my car; yesterday, I was using my fan at work because it was hitting 80 inside the office, this morning, I’m shivering and thinking about donning my coat. I can’t keep up [...]

I feel like a Mac truck has hit me; my roommate has been sick, as well as many of my coworkers, and I’m afraid I’ve succumbed to the peer pressure. I have so much on my plate tonight that I tremble about how I shall get it all done before my meeting with my [...]

From a letter:
That is the natural order of things, after all – the masculine wishes to love and the feminine to be loved, however we understand love. The male is notoriously indiscriminate – he will love almost any woman who will hold still for just a minute. But the female insists that it be [...]

My father indulged me.
I had marched up to him and solemnly told him I had discovered Indian bones in our woods.
I was seven and this delighted me to no end.
We had half an acre of land, which, for growing up in suburbia, was a lot of land for a seven year old; on [...]
