Just A Personal Word

Alright, so I'm doing this public and it will embarrass the fire out of her, but I don't care. ;)

Jade, thanks for our talk today. You have no idea how much it floored me and helped me. You are an amazing person and I want you to know you gave me strength today.

You Say

I have recently gotten into Saving Jane. Anyway, I only get the songs I like, but a friend I passed a song to me when I passed one to her. Anyway, you ask where I'm at. Well, here I am....

You Say

Saving Jane

I've been calling and calling for you

But you answer and I shut my mouth

I've been searching and for you, but myself

I don't want to be found.

You say

I am

You say let go

You say belief

But it's not that easy for me

You say wait

You say right now

Don't you see your already one foot at the ground

You say

I've been wicked and wild and wrong and I've wondered the price of my shame.

I've been hiding my face for so long it's a wonder that you know my name.

You say come home

You say I'm here

You say there's some things you just can't control.

You say let me

You say belief

Why do you search for the answers you already know?

You say

I am the way and the light and the truth

Don't be mislead by the flight of your youth.

Have faith in the things you can't see to belief. what if you had faith in me?

You say rest here

This is your home.

Don't you see that you knew I was here all along?

You say

Angela Shelton

Hey y'all. Many of you know how I feel about Angela Shelton and her movie "Searching For Angela Shelton". Anyway, it is now going to be shown on
Lifetime April 22, 2006. I really suggest y'all watch if you can. Its really an amazing movie and eye opening. So please, please mark it on your calender.
Here is what the Lifetime website says about it:

Filmmaker Angela Shelton journeys across the United States meeting other Angela Sheltons in an effort to survey women in America. She discovers that, like her, 24 out of the 40 Angela Sheltons she spoke to have been victims of violence. The Angela Sheltons teach the filmmaker about forgiveness, faith and the power of the human spirit, no matter what your name is.

Anyway, I hope y'all look into it.

Later!

Hey y'all! I'm back from my trip. Very tired. I have been feeling like everything is going by me so fast this week. I almost feel that is how life is right now. I'm going slow on the highway and every thing around me is zooming by. As if everyone is living their life and I'm not. Its a weird place to be.

Anyway, had a good trip. Hope everyone is doing well. Hopefully will be up and blogging again soon. :)

From The Desk of The South

I'm on vaccation. I'm in Kennett, MO, home of Shreyl Crow. ;) LOL Anyway, just letting y'all know where I'm at if you don't hear from me. I know some have sent me some e-mails and since my parents are on the accient "dial-up" my internet time is short because I just can't take it. LOL

Couple of thoughts and when I get home I will follow up on them....

1. I feel sorry for out kids in church. I don't think they will ever know what to do with God or their faith in the simple places.

2. Racism and mild stupidity is alive and well in the South. I think I've lived in Canada for so long I thought this didn't exist.

Hope all is well.

READY?!?!?!!! O....KAY!!!!

So this morning I'm dressed and ready. I'm going to a church service. Yes, I said it, I am going to a church service. Don't faint. ;) LOL I'm not sure what to expect, I'm going to a lent service. I have never been to one so I decided to go. We'll how it goes. I'll let y'all know.

Sin?

Ok, so on the lines of "sin". Knowing we are all behind that curtain to me is almost comforting. At least I know I'm not a lone in the "sin factor", but here is the deal, I know if I walked out from behind that curtain the others will poke their nose out and judge me. We all know it is true. Its much easier to deal with what is behind our curtain knowing someone else has it "worse" then us. Just a fact of life.

The other side of the coin. What if what we are hiding behind the curtain isn't a sin, but just who we are? God's creation, people who will NEVER reach perfection here on earth. I think we want our list so that we can say what is a sin and what is not. I think it comforts us, because then this whole "sin thing" is under lock and key. We understand it. But what if, what if we all just said, we are sinners who Christ died for. What happens then? The list doesn't matter so much, at least for me. My "sin" doesn't matter as much as knowing I'm a "sinner".

Just something to think about. At least something I have been at least.
