point of view

treetop moon bursting through flurried kitchen concoctions ruffled thudding on my window we're restless, you and i. let's pretend to be poets, snobbish and elusive truth is, we don't know what to do with ourselves hungry for summer for release but today is a gem whether we know it or not. image from justcalendar.org

day to day breathing is heavy sometimes giving You control has me trembling with fright surrender overwhelms me like an incoming tide the weight of forgiveness burns soft, deep inside my life bears Your name and I'm cupped in Your hands but I build crumbling castles as fast as I can set me high on the Rock, wash away all the sand hour by hour trusting in Your perfect plan I'm scared of Your mercy - it's lovely and hard Your goodness like fire rearranges my heart be Lord of my moments, You've stained them with joy like swallowing sunshine, I make You my choice i image source http://thebigclockstore.com/april/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/06675a.jpg

(this list could go on for a very long time, actually.) everyone needs to stop and just stare at the blue sky sometimes. ask questions. make the people in your life feel like celebrities when you greet them. fresh air and exercise helps to keep you from going crazy. rainbows are the coolest things ever. never be afraid to ask for help. pray for ants. it's ok to cry.  loudly.  and then sit for a while - but only as long as you need.  then get up and do the next thing. always be extra kind to people who've been crying. mud is good. real men like flowers.  and killing bad guys, no matter how many zillions of times they're told fighting is not allowed at school. everyone should appreciate jellyfish. food is a big deal. singing louder is always better. and God is the answer to everything.

it’s an unceasing weight tears bottled up my unanswered question broken telephone lines unresponsive heart love through a clogged artery how long, oh Lord? yearning for it, maybe force it but it is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord. patient perseverance, submission to sovereignty until we sing again. image source  http://www.pptbackgrounds.net

...But I need a little processing time before I can write something about the things that are in my head right now.  Thought for the day:   The Lord works everywhere, all the time.   Think about it.

from blue heavens a trail of wax and feathers like a fallen star into darkness and fire my own way. bent on destroying myself except the Sun of righteousness on the wings of the Morning arises with healing in His wings caught a captive of grace surrender is inevitable holy fire  sanctifying, healing, guiding into His arms imagesource: "The Fall of Icarus" by helene Reference to  Malachi 4:2

...about a good pen. it should be quiet, smooth, and leave lots of ink without being blotchy. and retractable tips are better because then you don't lose your cap. and they should definitely not be blue. or red. the darker, the better it makes you want to just keep writing What do you think?  Pens or pencils?  Lined or unlined paper?  Blue ink or black ink?  What's the best pen in the world?
