What Is To Be Done?

You don't really want to know. It's not worth talking about. Ahh, but that's not true. It means so much that we could, and should spend 100 years figuring it out. But we won't, we ignore the most important things. Refuse to see and refuse to address. I'm so grateful for those who don't. We'll work it out, find the meaning and the way. Even though we have to do it long distance over 200 years of space. I know where to look, that's the most important part. And when you really need some hope, remember that Glenn is in the world, so it must be a good place.

Sabbath Eve

There are quiet a few things I'm supposed to be doing right now, and some of them will be moved to very early monday morning. That's okay, really, because sometimes it feels really good to let other people love you. Sometime laughing till your face hurts is worth the procrastination of work. Especially when it's the type of work that has no end. Laugh anyway. That's why God, in His mercy and love, gave His children a sabbath. It's a very special day, and I'm looking forward to it. I look forward to it all week long, but especially saturday night. It's the day that I get to sit back, think, make plans to do better, and best of all, feel loved. Oh Sunday...I can't wait!

this week

I don't really like using capital letters for my name. I do really want a hair cut.

Growing old, I show my character.
And for character I mean everything
I lived through and that shaped my
face, it's a face made of phases,
habits, friends I've met, my own
peculiar way of being, my ambitions,
the real loves and the loves I
dreamed about,the children I had.

True Reflections

This is an AMAZING link.

You don't need to wait for permission to fill your lives hearts with thanksgiving and happiness...

Sir Gregory Edwin Earwin

Sir Gregory Edwin Earwin

was a boy of only nine. 

But he was a somber fellow

who was careful with his time.

He never dilly dallied

He never shilly shamed

He always hop-ed to it,

With astute presence of mind. 

Our Greg did not dawdle when walking

on his way to school. 

He could not be persuaded

by a pogo-stick or pool.

He always followed schedules

He always kept the rules

He never came early or late

but right on time to school.

For Gregory Edwin Earwin

had determined his destiny

would be to rule all Asia,

by the age of thirty-three.

To him every man would bow,

At him all the world would cow,

He would govern the entire land

and dominate the sea.
