Hike!

.HOMEWORK.

Coffee and Sufjan and limited focus.
(Sufjan's Songs for Christmas, in fact!)

I have made this post for the purpose of collecting the thoughts produced as a result of this dysfunctional study session, that I might put a cap on their distraction, yet remember them for later.

- I would kind of like to get a haircut

- It would be nice to get together with someone for some guitar and singing time...
I feel my voice getting stronger lately!

- Christmastime always makes me wish I had a special boy to be extra merry with (especially when I hear thosecouple of definitive Hanson Christmas songs ) but it occured to me tonight that not so having will allow me to focus even more on the friends and family already in my life, and on making their seasonal celebrations as sensational as spiritually and lovingly possible.

- I will not get any work done if I keep searching Hanson Christmas songs.

Draw Near to God

"I will heal their waywardness
and love them freely,
for my anger has turned away from them."
Hosea 14:4

"The LORD your God is with you,
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing."
Zephaniah 3:17

"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess,
for he who promised is faithful."
Hebrews 10:23

He cares for his people and will redeem them.

youve got a friend

You get to sitting for very long,
you begin to think you're the only one;
God, thanks for reminding me
it's a big world out there.

Current personal mission:

find cocount tea

and mint yerba mate

blend?

(h)mmmmm :)

Pomegranates

I just had what may be among the most enjoyable experiences of my life.




Beautiful pomegranate.
Unassuming, mysterious.
Humble fruit of hidden treasure.
Sufficiently, satisfyingly sweet.

Fending me from free radicals,
Snappy between my teeth and tongue,
bursting with bursts;
you give and give.

Vivid fade that far outshades the entire Crayola collection...

God, these all are so telling of You.
