I would like to tell you something

It seems he knew. All along, yes. He knew the color of the sky would change on that day. It rained, yes. My sky was grey. The bouquet upon me was pretty, though. And he knew.

I am undone, it seems. I was for a while, yes. He made it impossible to get away. And while I continue in this, he knows how to shape it. He shapes me, yes.

He says it will never end. Yes, I agree. And I hope this equally sweet song will never end. The melody sweeps, yes. At least I know he holds it all. I do believe he holds it all.

Turkey Day

I'm thankful for my sweet Jesus.

I'm thankful for my family who love fiercely, even if they don't realize it.

I'm thankful for fall... I can see God the most in the beauty of autumn.

I'm thankful for all the people in my life who are there no matter what.

I'm thankful for the new and exciting!

I'm thankful for amazing food and parades on television.

I'm thankful for laughter... in particular, for a Grandma who could laugh anyone's socks off.

I'm thankful for Pandora, which has the BEST Christmas stations imaginable.

I'm thankful for cell phones. They help out with long-distance kinda things.

I'm thankful for my home and the roof over my head.

I'm thankful for fireplaces... they're so cozy, and the fire is mesmerizing.

I'm thankful for the peace I'm filled with daily, just knowing my Creator is there with me every breath I take.

There is so much to be thankful for.

Wait and see

Some guitar music

Led to a chat

And though nothing was said

Implied

Not expected

Not unwanted

Some fifth day

The test should be passed

It's hard to guess

The complex mess

Of ponderings up there

So stop guessing, He says

We've all seen You

Lord, I love you. Continue to permeate my life. These days have been hard in so many ways, but your constancy and faithfulness have been my strength.

This world breaks my heart. Killing babies, drinking to death, giving intercourse and intimacy to no one of significance... the list could continue for hours. You know it all and I can't imagine how this rips your insides. I wish I could apologize for everything we've ruined in your world. Jesus, I just don't understand why people think the way they do, or act the way they act. I'm sorry the whole world doesn't know you.

I'm happy, though, that we have no excuse. You proclaim yourself in all that surrounds us.

Mr. Golden Sun, please shine down on me.

Rain, rain

Go away

At least until I get my rainboots

Rain, rain

Come some other day

Today I'd like to feel the sun

Rain, rain

Find some way

To meet up with a smile

Rain, rain

You remind me of tears

Please, please stop

Rain, rain

You nourish the earth

Why can't you do the same for me?

Rain, rain

I can deal with your mood

Just don't let it get to your head

Rain, rain

You're beautifully made

We're similar in that way

Rain, rain

I guess you can stay

A "thank you" will suffice

My best friend has a different last name

There weren't bells

But oh, joy was complete

There wasn't sun

But oh, they both shone

One of the best days of my life thus far

Has changed it forever in the saddest sense

One of the best days of their lives thus far

Has made them one under God

I can't describe how happy I am

Or how absolutely heartbroken I've become

The smile on my face is deceiving to all

What happens alone is the truth

The same ceremony I pray for myself

Doesn't seem logical, though

I've tried to ignore the absence of love

But now that she's gone... impossible

Jesus knows, and I'm sure He's trying

To bring to me the one who will complete my joy

Accident

Soon I'll be eating some dough

Trapped in a world of hats and happy faces

All for the cause of a fatal truth

My time will be fun, but her's was not

Thank goodness she had hope

The people she lived with had hope

A swerve created a problem

It shouldn't have

But it did and the world is one less

Expectancy is what enraptures them now

One day, up there, we'll eat at the same table

Oh, glory

Till then, we'll eat here for a cause

Maybe spread a little something

And frown with the family tonight
