Wow... so I'm wondering how many people use xanga anymore.

It took me fifteen minutes just to figure out how on earth to create a weblog entry.

Sad.

O the deep, deep love of Jesus, vast, unmeasured, boundless, free!
Rolling as a mighty ocean in its fullness over me!
Underneath me, all around me, is the current of Thy love
Leading onward, leading homeward to Thy glorious rest above!

O the deep, deep love of Jesus, spread His praise from shore to shore!
How He loveth, ever loveth, changeth never, nevermore!
How He watches o’er His loved ones, died to call them all His own;
How for them He intercedeth, watcheth o’er them from the throne!

O the deep, deep love of Jesus, love of every love the best!
'Tis an ocean vast of blessing, 'tis a haven sweet of rest!
O the deep, deep love of Jesus, ‘tis a heav’n of heav’ns to me
And it lifts me up to glory, for it lifts me up to Thee!

So I must admit, I have never before practiced the piano by the light of a lantern. It's quite exciting, you should try it sometime.

Yes, the electricity is out. Rain is an absolutely wonderful thing. I absolutely love storms - very, very much. Yep yep.

I am told I should update. Therefore, I shall update.

Life is amazing. Stressful, at times, but absolutely wonderful. Currently, I'm enjoying watching God work things out the way He wants them, and being ever so grateful for His mercy and grace. Despite all my mistakes, He is still good, and He still has a perfect plan. That is awesome to me.

So, Phoebe Cary is becoming one of my absolute favorite poets. For example, I have never heard my own perception of things explained quite this well:

Suppose

Suppose, my little lady,
  Your doll should break her head,
Could you make it whole by crying
  Till your eyes and nose are red?
And would n't it be pleasanter
  To treat it as a joke;
And say you're glad "'T was Dolly's
  And not your head that broke?"

Suppose you're dressed for walking,
  And the rain comes pouring down,
Will it clear off any sooner
  Because you scold and frown?
And wouldn't it be nicer
  For you to smile than pout,
And so make sunshine in the house
  When there is none without?

Suppose your task, my little man,
  Is very hard to get,
Will it make it any easier
  For you to sit and fret?
And would n't it be wiser
  Than waiting like a dunce,
To go to work in earnest
  And learn the thing at once?

Suppose that some boys have a horse,
  And some a coach and pair,
Will it tire you less while walking
  To say, "It is n't fair?"
And would n't it be nobler
  To keep your temper sweet,
And in your heart be thankful
  You can walk upon your feet?

And suppose the world don't please you,
  Nor the way some people do,
Do you think the whole creation
  Will be altered just for you?
And is n't it, my boy or girl,
  The wisest, bravest plan,
Whatever comes, or does n't come,
  To do the best you can?

Yes... I love it. And another I've always loved:

Along The Road

I walked a mile with Pleasure;
   She chattered all the way,
But left me none the wiser
   For all she had to say.

I walked a mile with Sorrow
   And ne'er a word said she;
But oh, the things I learned from her
   When Sorrow walked with me!
                      -Robert Browning Hamilton

And just one more:

Little Things

Little drops of water,
   Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
   And the pleasant land.

Thus the little minutes,
   Humble though they be,
Make the mighty ages
   Of eternity.
                -Julia A. Fletcher

Question for the day:

Do people realize when they're completely ignoring you and acting like you're worth absolutely nothing, and do it deliberately, or do you simply mean so little to them that they don't even notice the way they're treating you?

I hate that the people who mean most to you have the greatest potential to hurt you.
