benediction by jimmy needham.

this is a song. but please read b/c the words have a lot of meaning

No one is good not even one

The front pages of papers of children raped by rapist
Iraqi torture chambers and we the blame claim we're blameless
Wrong all
And swelling up inside of us there's this pride in us this arrogance
And our only line of defense is the sense that
I'm not as half as bad as this friend of mine so I must be fine
We mean well don't we
Yet I've never seen good intentions set a man free from
Hurt
all
This poor unfortunate soul
Filling a single void with toy after toy with girl after boy
How boring this wasn't meant to be Humanity's life story
Warring with God saying what have you done for me
Bought all
Hanging out for six hours marred beyond recognition
Incomplete submission to his father's will still
A proclamation was made louder than the loudest temptation
With more beauty than all his creation
More eternal than eternity more angelic than the heavenly
It Is done for you and bought with blood
Accept
Rejoice
For freedom has come

mercy. God's gift to me.

MERCY
Mercy / Compassion - The special gift whereby the Spirit enables certain Christians to feel exceptional empathy and compassion for those who are suffering (physically, mentally, or emotionally) so as to feel genuine sympathy for their misery, speaking words of compassion, but more so caring for them with acts of love that help alleviate their distress. The divine enablement to cheerfully and practically help those who are suffering or are in need by putting compassion into action. People with this gift: - focus upon alleviating the sources of pain or discomfort in suffering people - address the needs of the lonely and forgotten - express love, grace, and dignity to those facing hardships and crisis - serve in difficult or unsightly circumstances and do so cheerfully - concern themselves with individual or social issues that oppress people. ... ask God in pray !


well at least that's what the test told me my gift was... what do you think?

gossip

"If A equals success, then the formula is A equals X plus Y and Z, with X being work, Y being play and Z keeping your mouth shut" ~Albert Einstein.

"The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about" ~Oscar Wilde

"Gossip needn't be false to be evil- there's a lot of truth that shouldn't be passed around" ~Frank A. Clark.

"Who gossips with you will gossip of you" ~Irish saying

these four quotes represent what i think about gossiping. now i don't gossip. I just want you to understand that, well at least i try not to, i'm not always successful in trying no to gossip.
I was going to write about each of them individually but i think they are enough of an explanation on their own about how i feel about gossiping.

Deathbed by Relient K

Deathbed lyrics
Songwriters: Thiessen, Matthew Arnold;

I can smell the death on the sheets, covering me
I can't believe this is the end

But this is my deathbed, I lie here alone
If I close my eyes tonight, I know I'll be home

The year is 1941
I was 8 years old and far, far too young
To know that the stories of battles and glory
Was a tale, a kind mother made up for a son

You see, dad was a traveling preacher
Teaching the words of the teacher
Mother had sworn he went off to the war
And died there with honor, somewhere on a beach there

But he left once, to never return
Which taught me that I should unlearn
Whatever I thought a father should be
I abandoned that thought like he abandoned me

By '47, I was fourteen
I'd acquired a taste for liquor and nicotine
I smoked until I threw up, yet I still lit 'em up
For thirty more years, like a machine

So right there you have it, that one filthy habit
Is what got me where I am today

I can smell the death on the sheets, covering me
I can't believe this is the end
I can hear the sad memories still haunting me
So many things I'd do again

But this is my deathbed, I lie here alone
If I close my eyes tonight, I know I'll be home

Got married on my 21st
Eight months before my wife would give birth
It's easier to be sure you love someone
When a father inquires with the barrel of a gun

The union was far from harmonious
No two people could've been more alone than us
The years would go by and she'd love someone else
And I realized I hadn't been loved yet myself

From there, it's your typical spiel
Yeah, if life was a highway, I was drunk at the wheel
I was helpin' the loose ends all fall apart
Yeah, I swear I was destined to fail and fail from the start

I bowled about 6 times a week
A bottle of Beam kept the memories from me
Our marriage had taken a 7-10 split
And along with my pride, the ex-wife took the kids

I can smell the death on the sheets, covering me
I can't believe this is the end
I can hear those sad memories still haunting me
So many things I'd do again

But this is my deathbed, I lie here alone
If I close my eyes tonight, I know I'll be home

I was so scared of Jesus but he sought me out
Like the cancer in my lungs, it's killing me now
And I've given up hope on the days I have left
But I cling to the hope of my life in the next

Well, then Jesus showed up, said, "Before we go up
I thought that we might reminisce
See one night in your life, when you've turned out the lights
You asked for and prayed for my forgiveness"

You cried, wolf, the tears, they soaked your fur
The blood dripped from your fangs, you said, "What have I done?"
You loved that lamb with every sinful bone
And there you wept alone, your heart was so contrite

You said, "Jesus, please forgive me of my crimes
Sanctify this withered heart of mine
Stay with me until my life is through
And on that day, please take me home with you"

I can smell the death on the sheets, covering me
I can't believe this is the end
I can hear you whisper to me, "It's time to leave
You'll never be lonely again"

But this was my deathbed, I died there alone
When I closed my eyes tonight, you carried me home

I am the way, follow me and take my hand
And I am the truth, embrace me and you'll understand
And I am the light and for me, you'll live again
For I am love, I am love, I, I am love



---- one of the saddest songs i've ever heard. but has a great ending.
my favorite lines are
"if life was a highway i was drunk at the wheel"
and
I can hear you whisper to me, "It's time to leave
You'll never be lonely again"

bestie, best friend, bff, bffl.

i can go ahead and tell you that i don't use bestie or bffl. however i do have a best friend. 3 actually. two of which i never see. sad i know. i love all three of them and their all very different.
i'm not going to use names so i'm going to number them in order that i meet them.

so #1 crazy hyper, funny, really pretty, and very smart. that's her basic info. i met her when i was in the 5th grade. We've been friends for a loooonnnnggggg time. it took me forever to remember how we met. but now that i do i'm going to tell you the story. we were in the 5th grade and we were both car riders after school. my dad and her brother had the same kind of truck and in the same color. it got confusing but i could always remember which was my dad because he had a GA bulldogs magnet on the back of his truck. however she didn't connect the dots and decided to climb into my father's truck one day. it took her until she was actually in the car to realize she was not sitting next to her brother but my father. this is about the time that i decide to show up and to frankly tell her to get out of my seat you dork. those may not be my exact words but i do remember calling her a dork. which she is of course. and a proud one at that! haha. she can make me laugh like no one else can. but that's number 1 for ya. haha

anyway #2 extremely pretty, serious, cool, weird sense of humor but she still makes me laugh. that's the basic on #2. i met her in middle school around 7th grade we had all the same classes together and it still took me months to learn her name. no offense to her she just sat on the opposite side of the room :/ oh well. I'm afraid i don't have an interesting story for how we met but i will tell you more about her. she wants to be in the movie biz. in fact we want to go into business together. 10-13 productions. cool name right. well you may not get it but we do so it's funny to us. now we just need a logo. but we have four years of college to figure that out. surprise surprise we have the same taste in movies except she like many others likes horror movies. i on the other hand can't stand them. i CAN watch them i just don't want to. especially serial killer ones. movies like the village of the damned i can watch but Friday the 13th uh yeah there's not a shot in heck i'll watch that movie. anyway we do share in interest in some of the same movies.
i would go on but i think i might have given her a bigger paragraph than #1 so i'm gonna stop.

#3. hmmm.... what to tell about her. mmm.. yeah there's nothing so i'm gonna stop.


hahha no i'm not i'm just messing with her. which is something i do a lot. but she makes it easy. fortunately for me she can take it with out getting mad. in fact she usually throws it right back in my face. but that's okay. i know she's kidding ... at least i hope she is. i actually don't know much about her because i haven't known her for very long. about 18 months or so. which is not long at all. i can say that we hit it off right away though. we talked about ..... wait for it....... twilight. yes the book twilight. but what else do girls talk about these days. oh right boys. which she does... a lot. i mean a whole lot. but i can take it. i don't care.
well i didn't say the good stuff about her like i did with the other two so i'll do that now -
she's pretty of course, and she puts up with my crap so that's good. she loves horror movies. she's calm and laid back which is very different from the other two. which basically means i get a break when i hang out with her. any way that's not all i could say about her but it's all i feel like typing.

anyway i have tons of friends but these are my best ones and i love them so. I have very different relationships with the three of them. which is good because for different problems I'll need a different friend. but that should go without saying. :)

i love you all.

till next time

exercise/food.

ugh exercise. i HATE exercise!! ..... butttttt... i'm fat. so i need it. unfortunately. :( ... whatever. one of these days i'll lose all this weight. i promise. i'm addicted to food though. i mean i looovee food. i love to try new things. food can make life an interesting topic. or something like that.
so today i exercised for about an hour and a half before my legs gave out. i'm gonna start exercising more. so i can go longer periods of time. burn more calories. i don't think i'm gonna be able to give food up. at least not the good stuff.... soooo i can give up.... broccoli. and Brussels sprouts. and spinach and coke.
yeah coke is the only unhealthy thing i'm willing to give up. why u ask .... becuase it's disgusting i can't stand the taste of coke.. yick oh and for those of from another part of the country, by coke i mean coke, Pepsi, diet rite, really any soda. or drink. or pop. whatever you call it. the only good sodas or cokes or drinks or pops (jeez that's a lot to say let's just stick to soda) i like are mountain dew and root beer. oh and sprite. i love sprite. yummmm.....
i can't take diet drinks either. their nasty. which means i'm stuck with water........ any way
back to exercise. i use wii fit. i think the games are fun. even though u only burn like 5 calories at a time. which is why i always walk for 30min to an hour. cause you burn like a lot more that way. but walking can't get it all done for ya so i usually do some balance games rarely ever do i do yoga and hardly ever do i even touch the strength exercises .. which is bad i know i should start doing more of those. :/ i like the balance games a lot cause their actually fun .. and my dad has better scores in most of the games than me soo it gives me a challenge. my best games are the ski jump and the soccer.

soooo to recap.
1. i love food
2. i hate exercise
3. but i need it
4. i'm gonna try harder to stop eating so much.
5. and i'll do some of the strength exercises.
6. and one day i'll be (prolly not supermodel skinny) skinny-ish.

~stevie!! :P

friends.

friends are like pee pee pants everyone can see it but only you can feel it.

Friend: someone who is always there for you no matter what they put up with your Crap even though they shouldn't somebody you can act dumb with and they still love you your not embarrassed to be with them or them with you. -- Heather J

but what are friends exactly? the people you hang with?
personally i think friends are the ones you can share what's going on in your life. the people who you can count on to be there for you no matter the circumstances. someone you trust someone you tell things too.


well that's all i've got on friends. so peace out and be safe - stevie

forward motion

Forward Motion lyrics
Songwriters: Augustine, Steve; Bruyere, Joel; Mcnevan, Trevor;

Let's keep it moving in a forward motion
If we can hold on we can cross this ocean
There's no sense in lettin' our emotions
Get in the way until the door keeps closin'

If we sort this out
Would we know how to live like we were different?
I know we've both had some doubts
Whether things would come around and look at us now

I'm not trying to tell you how to live your life

But let's keep it moving in a forward motion
If we can hold on we can cross this ocean
There's no sense in lettin' our emotions
Get in the way until the door keeps closin'

Let's keep it moving in a forward motion
If we can hold on we can cross this ocean
There's no sense in lettin' our emotions
Get in the way until the door keeps closin'

I never thought we'd doubt whether this world would come around
And work itself out
But it's more than a sound when it moves everyone around
Are you ready now?

And I'm not trying to tell you how to live your life

But let's keep it moving in a forward motion
If we can hold on we can cross this ocean
There's no sense in lettin' our emotions
Get in the way until the door keeps closin'

Let's keep it moving in a forward motion
If we can hold on we can cross this ocean
There's no sense in lettin' our emotions
Get in the way until the door keeps closin'

I won't be afraid, your hands they cover me
It's so worth it
I can't let it fade my hands are high and raised
'Cause it's worth it

And I'm not trying to tell you, I'm not trying to tell you
And I'm not trying to tell you how to live your life

But let's keep it moving in a forward motion
If we can hold on we can cross this ocean
There's no sense in lettin' our emotions
Get in the way until the door keeps closin'

Let's keep it moving in a forward motion
If we can hold on we can cross this ocean
There's no sense in lettin' our emotions
Get in the way until the door keeps closin'

i love you.

Today a friend of mine told me that i never say "I love you" and of course she is right i don't. i have trouble saying those three, tiny words. I can't figure out why and it's driving me nuts. because their are a load of people i could say that i love. but to say it in front of them. the words just won't come out. ugh.

the other day someone told me they loved me and i went and pulled a Han Solo i said "i know". you can't see me but i'm shaking my head in disbelief. I can't believe i said that. well yes i can it's so me! haha. but still. the thought that i couldn't return the affection hurt me and i'm sure them.

what worries me is i can't even TEXT it!!! one time i said "i luv u" but i'm not sure that really counts anyway. ugh. one thing i can say is i can tell my family that i love them!! yay me!!

i think i'm gonna make a real effort to start saying the three, tiny, scary, but meaningful words. ... but of course in baby steps.. so anyone reading this don't except me to run up and tell everyone that i love you. or them! whatever.

or perhaps maybe the words i love you aren't the only way to tell someone that you, well, love them. hugs, kisses, laughing together, smiles, eating together, and well just plain spending time with people are all great ways to SHOW someone that you care without verbally expressing the way you feel towards someone. although i do think both are important.

so to close i am going to try and use words like i love you more and to not just show my love through everyday acts. which of course it is still important to use the everyday acts of kindness and love.

teaser


i picked this idea up form a blog i follow. usually you would do it on a Tuesday .. but if i waited till then i would forget or just wouldn't do it.
.. okay so what you do is take a couple of sentences from the current book your reading and post them on your blog...

from Tempted:


The dark swallowed me.
My mind knew I was only a couple of feet from the root cellar and my friends. I could hear Damien babbling about religion and the goddess. But my mind wasn't what was beating in terror against my chest. My heart, my spirit, my soul - whatever you want to call it - was screaming soundlessly for me to run! Get away! Go!



okay so what cha think? addicted .. me too!! hah ... unfortunately for you, you need to start at the beginning. As in the beginning of the series. that was from Tempted the sixth book in the house of night novels. the first is Marked.
