Almighty God of Love

Sunday, we sang the lyrics "We welcome you with praise! We welcome you with praise! Almighty God of Love, be welcomed in this place!"

Almighty God of Love. What a perfectly astounding name for our God. He is All Mighty. He can do or be anything He desires. And His deepest desire is love.  The God who is Almighty chooses love.

Almighty God of Love, help me daily to choose to devote my limited might to the same purpose you have chosen for your all might. Help me love.

Thank you, Daddy...

...for loving your in-laws as though they were your parents. Nothing makes my heart smile more than listening to Granny talk about the time you have spent together, the conversations you have had, and the things you have done for her.

I love that I cannot relate when folks talk about not liking or not getting along with their in-laws. All I have ever known of that relationship is your utmost respect and unconditional love for my grandparents.

Your heart is beautiful.

Thank you, Daddy, for being beautiful.

ode to friendship

sometimes i wish we had been in a romantic relationship.
at least then i would get to break up with you.

but friends really are friends forever
dang michael w. smith!

my heart cannot stop loving you.
my head cannot stop thinking about you.
my soul cannot stop caring about you.
my lips cannot stop uttering prayers for you.
no matter how much i want to.
no matter how hard i try.

because friends really are friends forever
dang michael w. smith!

it rips my heart apart...

...to be so far from the baby i love so much. i seriously can't stand it. think about her instead of sleeping, studying, whatever else i should be doing. constantly go over and over my budget in my mind trying somehow to squeeze out the money to visit. i hate this. i hate it to tears. hurting tears.

to be a b****

I decided today that I want to be a bitch. In fact, I think God wants me to be a bitch.

I was walking through the park on my way to work this morning, and I observed the always cute first encounter of two dogs. Both were leashed, but from the moment they laid eyes on each other, their leashes were taut in anticipation of that first, good sniffing. As their owners were dragged closer, the dogs' tails wagged faster. They finally met and proceeded to prance around, each greeting the other with sheer, unadulterated joy.

I watched these dogs and wondered what life would be like if more people acted like dogs (bitches, if you will). What if, before we even met another person, we loved him? What if, after we met and got acquainted with even his smelliest, dirtiest parts, we continued to love and to demonstrate that love with joy and sincerity?

What if more of us were the bitches God has called us to be?

Mark 12.31
