The chinese were right the first time... so we'll see.
So much for this make believe.
So tired of pretending.
In light of this recent discovery
that you know me.
All my inadequacies,
Those shy insecurities
but still I'm afraid to be
the frail child of God
that you made me.
Withdraw is my tragedy.
Oh, Lord please examine me.
Open me up.
You know everything about me.
You knew what I was going to say
before the words were on my tongue
There I go pulling back again
There I go resisting your love
and once again
I'm pulling masks out of the closet
one by one by one by one
Withdraw is my tragedy.
I could run, I could hide
but only find that it's
You that keeps me moving
You that keeps me moving
with love so high, so deep, so wide
I wonder why I even try?
Who am I to be loved by a God like you?
To be loved by a God like you.
Nobody loves me like you do.
And I'm free to fall madly in love
with you, too.
20 Reasons why I love Janie
1. She ALWAYS makes me laugh. Always.
2. She needs me as much as I need her.
3. She can fit 28 grapes in her cheeks.
4. Even though I don't get to see her very much,
We can always pick up where we left off.
5. We always seem to go to movie theaters when
no one else is there. The entire theater to ourselves.
6. Speaking of movies...
7. One of her favorite things is the beach. (I think you actually
saw it once right?)
8. She loves my kid(s) more than I do I think?
9. She let me cut her hair BEFORE I knew what I was doing.
10. She would always come snuggle if I was scared of the storm.
11. She makes the best turkey sandwiches. (And the best "toast")
12. Best. Chinese. Food. Ever.
13. Only she understands the best thing ever invented. Drum Corps.
14. She helped me change Hallie's tiny clothes when I didn't know how
and will be there this time too.
15. She has so much trust and faith. I don't know how she does it. She's amazing.
16. She was my friend before... and after
17. She goes along with my crazy ideas, like meeting strangers from the internet.
18. Puppets!
19. I think we might speak our own language?
20. I know that God has amazing things in store for her and I can't wait to be a part of it all.
Janet, you're my best friend. Ever. Ever.
And while I'm at it, let's make a group decision to drop once and for all the Bible-as-owner's-manual metaphor. It's terrible. It really is.
When was the last time you read the owner's manual for your toaster? Do you find it remotely inspiring or meaningful?
You only refer to it when something's wrong with your toaster. You use it to fix the problem, and then you put it away.
We have to embrace the Bible as the wild, uncensored, passionate account it is of people experiencing the living God.
Doubting the one true God.
Wrestling with, arguing with, getting angry with, reconciling with, loving worshiping, thanking, following the one who gives us everything.
We cannot tame it.
We cannot tone it down.
If we do, then we can't say it is the life-giving Word of God. We have made it something else.
VELVET ELVIS
Nine. Nine. Oh Nine.
You're an olive.
Let's pretend your a boy olive.
But if you're a girl olive,
that's okay too.
For now, let's just pretend
that there's a pimento.
Maybe we should look into THESE this time?
To Fuzzi, or Not to Fuzzi.
