"Weightless"

Come close,
Lay next to me

Come close,
Lay next to me
I need to tell you something important

Stay close,
Lay next to me
I need to feel important

Because it's your eyes that I don't believe
And my heart, you will, you will mislead
Do you know the consequence that comes with having such confidence?

Holding all the weight in my life
Then you turn and walk away from me

So what is this now, you ask of me?
What's makes your pain such an urgency?
Now I want out, so plain to see
Once again my dear, a brand new tragedy

Holding all the weight in my life
Then you turn and walk away from me
Holding all the weight in my life
Then you turn and walk away from me

Bleeding all the strength from my life
Then you turn and run away from me
Yeah bleeding all the strength from my life
Then you turn and run away from me

I'm not young.
I'm not good looking.
I'm not in great shape.
I'm not cool.
Im not interesting.
I'm not worried about any of it.

My Prayer For You

What I believe I believe is right and I would not ask or expect that you should believe what I believe simply because I believe it.
You must arrive at your own conclusions based on your own convictions, for a faith based on the conviction of others is a hollow faith indeed.
That we are allowed to petition the Almighty is a wonderous mystery and miraculous in itself.
If I were to petition on the behalf of others my petition would simply be this:
That of all the people you meet in your life I might be the worst Christian you have ever known, and in spite of that, of all the people I will have known in my life you might become the best Christian that I have ever known.
Solo Cristo Salva

Stup-Hole

I always say when some people act in a particular manner (asshole, or stupid, but I honestly have to think asshole is just the manifestation of the resulting frustration caused by that initial stupidity) anyway... it really helps in dealing with those sorts of folks to consider that they aren't acting at all, it really is exactly who they are.

Wha wha wha...

When Sonny first met Cher he asked if she was free to go out some time.

She replied by saying," I don't know about free, but I am pro Bono."

Paige Turner

The first part is spent clinging tightly for safety and the next part is spent pushing away into danger.

From the person you knew everything about to the person you know nothing about.

It's a difficult transition, I imagine more for the parent than the child.

This is growing up I suppose.

To be reminded of the age I am currently isn't nearly the problem that being reminded of the age I am no longer is.

The Work Ethic of Evil

That what you strive for does not come easily is no indication that what you strive for is by any means good.

Being evil does not equate to being lazy, working hard does not equate to being good.

Ball of Confusion

The reality is somewhere along the line someone's going to have their feelings hurt and someday that someone is going to be you.

It's not personal.

The world barely stops to notice the suffering of the masses.

It certainly doesn't stop for hurt feelings of individuals.

The earth keeps turning... regardless of what happens on its surface.

It's not personal.

From the Mouths of Babes

The sage wisdom of strangers is most often just the unheard refrain of the parent. d (-_-) b

Everybody Lean to the Right

I'm almost always right which is why I don't care if anyone believes me.

The Oak Firmly Planted and the Wise Acorn

Tonight as I was moving some stuff around in the carport a piece of nice finished oak trim fell over and split.

Bummer...

Thinking I was being at least cool if not optimistic, I said, "Well that's no good anymore."

Sofia (7) without hesitation replied, "No it's still good."

"How do you figure?"

"We can still use it for fire wood."

Perspective, it's everything.

She was right.

In fact, I'll probably enjoy that piece of wood as a source of fire far more than some display of my poor carpentry skills that hangs around forever and I'll wish I had actually burned anyway.

I'm glad that wood broke!

Memories

It has long been proven that the olfactory (sense of smell) is the most sensitive of all the sense we possess in triggering memory recall.

For some people certaim smells can trigger strong and sometimes violent unexplainable reactions.

These people are often labeled scentamental.
