The first seven (7) people to respond to this post will get something made by me.

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make.
- What I create will be just for you.
- It'll be done this year (2009).
- No requests-- it could be anything. It may be a mix CD. It may be a poem.
I may draw or ( Read more... )

So...taking a page out of Katie's book:

Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.

--Leo Buscaglia

I look beyond the empty cross
forgetting what my life has cost
wipe away the crimson stains
dull the nails that still remain

More and more I need you now
I owe you more each passing hour
the battle between grace and pride
I gave up not so long ago

So everyone officially moves back tomorrow. Yay. I'm most definitely ready to see everyone that has not been here this week.

An update on the end of the summer in list form:

I had a "last day of work that wasn't" thanks to my attempted self-amputation of part of my left pointer-finger (stop by if you want to see the stitches)

So Katie has been bugging me for a general life update now for about a month. I suppose it's time for me to actually produce one for all of you LJ reading type people.

Let's see...what have I done this summer? Here it goes...in no particular order (though I will try to stay in some sort of chronological time line)

Workcamp. One week in ( Read more... )

So. It's been forever since I've written here. I would give an update on what I've been up to...but maybe that'll be later. Anyway. I was watching the news earlier today and this really upset me. The worst part of it is that those of us that adhere to the church's teachings look like the bad guys. We're the sexist, women hating, in favor of the ( Read more... )

So I've reformatted my LJ. I kinda like this new one. I'm learning to like change. Well, at least tolerate it. :o)

Before workcamp I must:

pack up stuff to go home
do laundry (like woah)
sort through the first aid stuff at the center
make a list of stuff that we need
go shopping w/ Wita and Scott for the stuff that we need

Yeah I know it hurts
Yeah I know you're scared
Walking down the road that leads to who knows where
Don't you hang your head
Don't you give up yet
When courage starts to disappear I will be right here.

When your wall breaks down
And the voices tell you turn around
When your dreams give out
I will carry you
Carry You
when the stars go blind
