"Torn Between Lovers: How to Choose When You Have Two Soul Mates"

Welcome to dating according to yahoo.  Underneath that caption is a picture of a woman embracing a strikingly handsome man while texting her "other soul mate" over the handsome man's shoulder. 

Why has love been reduced to an image like this?

Man, I have beautiful friends. I mean, wow.

To all of you lovers out there [and i don't mean couples - although many lovers are together ♥] ........

                          Go to your special place, and count the stars.

                                                                 ^------that's what my dove chocolates said. hehe ;)

p.s. - I MADE FRIED GREEN TOMATOES! from the recipe out of the back of the novel....happiness guys, pure joy.

This Weekend my Hands Got Dirty

i learned that i like being last in line.  i like getting to watch people sit down or eat or talk or just fellowship.  if im last in line i get to watch it happen. its so beautiful.

i learned that shane claiborne is just a dude living the life we are called to live. 

i learned that maybe God wants me to do the same.

scratch that. its not a maybe.  God most definitely wants me to do the same.

God did beautiful things through our dirty hands to reach out and touch the community this weekend.  Who knew dirty hands were so clean?

God's love is sufficient. 

Shane Claiborne said, "son of a bitch" in sunday school today. rock on shane. way to throw the body of believers into the streets of God's world.

Amen and Amen.

the sun will come out....today

"if we focused more on the "thou shalts" in the Bible, we wouldn't have time for the "thou shalt nots." - one mister charles hedden

i like xanga. i like places where i can read what my friends are going through. what makes them happy. what makes them sad.  some are just so incredibly profound. breath-taking even. 

i used to get downhearted that i couldn't pull these deep-rooted, spiritual questionaires out of my head.  but that's ok. to each his own. :)  I learn every time I read a post like that.  God uses xanga.]

anywho...

I thought I would say that I have felt God opening up my eyes lately:

to those i hurt, to those i love, to those i need to love, to those i need to apologize to, to my weaknesses, and my strengths, to people i have been scared to approach, to my selfishness, to relationships that need to grow, and relationships that need to be more distant, to seeing the beauty in every person both inside and out (because it is there...God does not create ugly...the world does), to loving myself (but not too much), to finding strength and wisdom in His word and breath, to live, to just be, to slow down, to love, to have faith, and to hope.
