| cause I can't stand to love alone. |

| The grass looked greener on the other side
So I tried to, snatch myself from your hand
Caught a boat to anywhere but Nineveh
And, well you know, I got spit back on dry land.
Give me purity and give me continence
But oh no, not yet.
Like a coin hiding in the corner
Trying not to be swept
And I was trying not to be swept.
Kicking against these goads
Sure did cut up my feet
And didn't your hands get bloody
As you washed them clean,
Here I am again, back where I began
Try as I may I can't get away from you
And all of these roads lead me to roam,
Bring me back home.
Here I am again, back where I began.
So you have yourself your ninety nine,
Isn't that enough for you?
Still you followed me to the shadowed valley
Carried me on your shoulders too.
I've done the work of Sisyphus
Thinking that I could get over this hill
But the one thing I can't get over now
Is the force of your will.
Here I am again, back where I began
Try as I may I can't get away from you
And all of these roads lead me to roam,
Bring me back home.
Here I am again, back where I began. |

| today I accidentally deleted a table that a co-worker had been agonizing over for some time. I felt so bad. it made me want to crawl into a hole and stay there forever. |

| Some goals for the summer:
1. Earnestly seek out a deeper relationship with God
2. Save money
3. Make a t-shirt quilt
4. Maybe do some carpentry
5. Lose 10 lbs.
6. Read many books (inspired by Christiana, though I haven't assigned an exact number)
Now, I would like for you to recommend to me 1 or 2 books that you think would benefit me this summer, whether by the improvement of my mind, the inspiration to my spirit, or the lightening of my heart. Thank you. |
