...quicky

Sorry for the fact that it has been exactly a month since I have last visited ya'll, but I figured since today was the golden day of the year (11/11/11) I should show up. Plenty of changes have happened within the last few weeks and there will be more details at later date... hopefully not a later time.
For now though, I'll leave you with a sweet cover .. love ya

Viewing through a broken mirror

Happy Tuesday Ya'll. So much that is going on in my life and heart, and yet, none of it I feel like sharing right now. Odd. sorry I will say this much. Matthew 22 makes it clear that we are to Love the Lord with all that we are. Second, we are to Love others as ourselves. "Ya,ya we've heard this one before" you might say, "I do love God and I love people as much as I can in a day." Well that's nice, good to know you were listening in Sunday service. But I come with a different purpose.

The challenge? One that has been turning my life upside-down this past month.

How can I really love people (or God for that matter) as myself if I don't really love... or LIKE myself?

IDENTITY: What is it to you? Wanna know what yours is?.... look at the fruit of your down-and-out nights all alone. What do you say about yourself TO yourself when nobody else is listening. Now, what does GOD say about what your saying? Is is true? Is it just your imagination? Is it Satan squeezing in?

What's the difference between who you are and who you really are?

...now that I am a man..

Music speaks where words fail

Fake HIV/Aids drugs!!!

All ya'll concerned with the well-being of the other half of the world might find this piece of information interesting.
I have this Ugandan update web-site as my homepage so I can kinda know what's going on in that part of the world my Compassion child is from. This was today's front page story... check it out.

And it's gonna be okay.

Musing the Wonderment of love

Had a splendid time with the Springang yesterday. Sorry no pictures... BUT Had a beautiful breakfast feast of chocolate pancakes and scrambled eggs with coffee and smiles. Adon was able to join us as well!!! I haven't seen him for around six months... what are the chances that both he and I were in town for Connally's only day off this week? I will never forget that warm little kitchen, with the girls busily cooking and dropping food onto the plates of the three guys around the smallish table, chatting over coffee about school, plans, and life in general. A little family with nothing better to do than be together.
We played one of my favorite games after hearing a wonderful love story before Adon had to skat, but the fun didn't stop there.
"thrown rolls" to eat. It's crazy that through all the years having lived here I never had eaten there before.... I don't know how I missed it; all my family and friends have gone different times. In any case, it's just ironic that now that I don't live here, I go.
To top off the outing we all headed to the new hipster coffee shop down town that Honey now works at. All their coffee comes from Haiti. I had what's called "Haitian Dreams" a latte made with Haitian vanilla... so beautiful to taste!!
We played Apples to Apples and laughed a lot.
Headed home and lazily sat around the apartment and hung for a while before skyping with Connally's sister from a far away land. Oh the wonders of technology.
Thanks God for friends that never fail to bring a smile and a refreshing look at life when I get hung up on one side.

Pit Stop of Life

I am now a professional traveler... it's official. Considering I've just done my first solo major trip/"move". Today I completed the North to Midwest commute in a two day period. Summer is gone like the wind! I can't believe the time is over and school is upon us. I'm only taking a short time in this place that was once home to tie up a few loose ends with my car. Catching up with a few close friends is just a perk of being gone for so long. Has it really been almost three months? And three before that!
I hate to even unpack stuff from my stuffed vehicular device, but I must for a short time since I'm staying a few days. It took me a good day and a half to pack it up from my Summer Home residence and fit it into my poor litt

le "Amy"

This is only the beginning I can tell.
There are going to be many more of these travels... Thank God for traveling mercies.
See if you can keep up!
