not so funny thing #59 about pregnancy

heartburn...

who knew?

blurred

i got some news today that was hard to hear. in fact, i was so upset by the news that my vision was litterally blurred. that's never happened to me before. my immediate response was to find the wrong doer and kick some ass (not that i really could- i just wanted to). the rest of the afternoon i felt queesy and sick with sadness.

the news was another story of sin and falleness in life and in the lives of those around me.

it made me pray that someday the Lord will mature me to the point where my eyesight blurs when i think of my own desperation and depravity before God. it seems my life would be much better if i focused on myself and 'my part' in the wrongs of life rather than get so upset by the wrongs of others. that's not to say that there aren't legitimate wrongs done that legitimately upset a person- i'm just saying- my life would be alot more simple if i focused on my own stuff instead of everybody elses.

today's chewable vitamin:

"why do americans love war so much?"

(in the movie theater watching a trailer for an upcoming war movie)

basically...

i have discovered that my voice sounds good under the following conditions:
riding home late from dayton after seeing lori and her family.
with the car stero on loudly
with my well worn war cd on.
it's so great to know every single word of the first band you ever loved.

i can sign loudly to this album and be a rock star.

i will write soon about how my love affair with prince began in 1995. it involves having the runs and other bodily fluids. it also involves ike and tina turner. check back. you won't want to miss it.
