Ever since my brother - in - law let me borrow the newest jars of clay cd (which is not the one pictured to the left, i just like this picture better), my car has rarely had any other music grace its structure.

My favorite song of the moment, since they all seem to be my favorite at one time or other, depending on my mood, is titled "Boys" ... favorite lines being

"lesson one: do not hide"

"If you weather love and lose your innocence....
Just remember...
lesson one"
I loneliness stalking me through the day... it hasn't over taken me yet, but i keep looking over my shoulder. My husband is the best. I have no doubts about that, but the rest of this world... I seem to run into an imaginary wall every time I want to reach out, or be reached out to.

But "no not hide" reminds me that
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7

do not hide from your problems dear Steen, do not cave in on yourself, but reach out to the Savior and never give up.

BEING sick

Being sick, is never fun.

but the only good part is that I have lots of time to do nothing...
nothing that is but be crafty!!!

This is about Peter, my hubby... he made me cry when he broke up with me, and he makes me cry a lot more now... but "in all the Good Ways"

He wrote this Haiku, and I changed it just a smidge to let him know

things I noticed in the news today...

It seems like hypocrisy is almost normative for those in authority...

I am not saying that its true or not true, but the general public, the news people (whoever they are) turn their eyes disdainfully on policemen and religious leaders.

They say that policemen won't take drug tests... because they will fail...
They say that religious men are taking advantage... of those who trust them the most...

This world needs authenticity.
People who are who they say they are.
