home

i don't know. maybe the drink was the hi-light.

off the bat i was not attracted to him but i still have this thing for bad boys. rob was a bad boy. so i'm trying to give not bad boys a try. i really, really am.

the conversation went through sports, politics and religion. i do not mind talking about these subjects at all. i do not consider them taboo. at least i say this. however usually the people i am talking to, excluding my besties, get all worked up into a lather. just calm down people CALM DOWN.

has the word besties arrived in your life? sigh. i no longer have children at home. which is fine. but then you start to age. you get stuck in the music of the year they left. and you no longer hear all of the cool words. one day you wake up and "that's rad" is so historic that no one knows it, except your besties.  (there is a slang dictionary on line if you need it)

so date started talking about these things and he knew his scriptures. number and address. i was never good with addresses. and honestly, pfft, don't care much about them today, either. somewhere in the bible, har, it says that the holy spirit will bring into remembrance all that i have heard spoken. (or read).

i said to my co worker, "i don't know how i will ever find a guy that loves Christ but has been broken. really broken" and he doesn't quote scripture but the love of Christ just comes out of him.

that was the thing i could not do. oh, and coming into my personal circle without my invitation. richard and i used to mercilessly beat each other up with scripture. i'm not sure, even with our good intentions, that we really loved each other like Christ loves us.  that's okay. as alanis says, you love, you learn.

i wanted to share this devotional with you. i have a hard copy i bought, wow, when we lived in england and i went to germany, ladies bible retrest, and heard elizabeth elliott. elizabeth has sinced died. oh. if the name does not ring the bell, she was the wife of a missionary, named jim who was killed by the tribe...um...they did a move about it..."end of the spear". after being killed elizabeth took their daughter and she went back to the tribe and learned to live with them and taught them the gospel.

oh. i learned while my dad was here that my grandpa and grandma went to africia for seven years to be missionaries. my uncle and his wife had as well - that i remember - but i did not know about my grandparents.

land the plane lady.  da plane! da plane!

the devotional.  Daily Light Devotional

the devotional has a morning and evening entry - and it's all scripture. all.

here are the lyrics to the song that is playing in my ears while i write about this devotional.

Somethin' in your eyes, makes me wanna lose myself
Makes me wanna lose myself, in your arms
There's somethin' in your voice, makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts, the rest of my life

If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I've been so alone
And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

that's how i feel now. i've come home.
