Thy mercy, my God, is the theme of my song, the joy of my heart, and the boast of my tongue.

The Very Thought of You

*Edit*

"The most difficult thing - but an essential one - is to love Life, to love it even while one suffers, because Life is all. Life is God, and to love Life means to love God."
                                        - Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace

Thoughts?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You think your days are uneventful
And no one ever thinks about you
She goes her own way
She goes her own way
You think your days are ordinary
And no one ever thinks about you
But we're all the same
And she can hardly breathe without you

-lyrics from"She Has No Time" by Keane

I don't want to fall to pieces...

...[But] every time I hear that song,

...I go back.

   


"How do you pick up the threads of an old life?

How do you go on, when in your heart

you begin to understand there is no going back.

There are some things that time cannot mend


Some hurts that go too deep...that have taken hold."

[Amen, Frodo...Amen]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I want so badly to believe
that 'there is truth, that love is real'.
And I want life in every word
to the extent that its absurd."
                            
~Clark Gable by the Postal Service

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If the "About Me" section on my facebook was 100% accurate,
it would say one word:

Misunderstood

where the body [currently] is...

I thought about titling this entry "where the heart is", but then I thought a little more and decided it was not accurate, hence, the title you see above - "where the body [currently] is".

My heart is in a lot of places right now...but my body [currently] is at home.
Have you figured out yet what the rest of this entry will be about?
Ah, yes, you're right - home.

"For David says concerning him,
'I saw the Lord always before me,
   for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken;
therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced;
   my flesh also will dwell in hope.
For you will not abandon my soul to Hades,
   or let your Holy One see corruption..."
                                                            -Acts 2:25-27



Replace all the green with various hues of red, orange, & yellow.
Now you know what I see facing NE from the back-porch.
[I took that picture this summer from the back-porch]
In the picture, those two mountains look like one massive plateau,
but in reality, their summit elevations are 4000'+.
Aww, how nice it would be to go for some nice ridge-line hiking over those mountains...
Can't wait to get back on the A.T. sometime in the next 5 months...
even just a weekend here and there would be most lovely.



The trail beside the creek covered in snow.


And the creek itself, surrounded by snow


It is possible to go "tubing" in the winter-time.


"When Lizzy coming home from college?"
Seeing her picture on my wall at school is quite a motivator...
and below it, the text: "Something to smile about" - yes, indeed.
Haven't actually gotten to see the little munchkin yet,
and Sunday afternoon is when I fly back...
"He will make a way..."


As Thanksgiving day is coming to a close, I got to thinking about how to sum all I am thankful to God for in one word...life.  All things  we enjoy, experience, etc. are only possible because we are alive.

the historical significance of this November fifth

 

Remember, remember the fifth of November, the gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.” – Traditional English verse recited for Guy Fawkes Night (and also quoted in V for Vendetta)

 

 http://ronpaulgraphs.com/nov_5_extended_total.html  

 

Note: That's over $4.2 million in ONE DAY.

 

 

"So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you then I would suggest you allow the fifth of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever be forgot."    –V for Vendetta

Autumn Afternoon

hide

In open fields of wild flowers, she breathes the air and flies away...

making

She thanks her Jesus for the [dandelions] and the roses.

balance

In no simple language

faces

Someday she'll understand the meaning of it all

sunset

He's more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
As close as a heartbeat or a song on her lips
Someday she'll trust Him and learn how to see Him
Someday He'll call her and she will come running
And fall in His arms, and the tears will fall down and she'll pray


Major props to the person who can name that song...
