if i was ever to sing to people,it'd be this song.

Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart; Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art. Thou my best thought, by day or by night, Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light. Be Thou my Wisdom, Thou my true Word; I ever with Thee, Thou with me, Lord; Thou my great Father, I thy true son; Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my battle-shield, sword for my fight, Be Thou my dignity, Thou my delight. Thou my soul's shelter, Thou my high tower. Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power. Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise, Thou mine inheritance, now and always: Thou and Thou only, first in my heart, High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of heaven, my victory won, May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heav'ns Son! Heart of my own heart, whatever befall, Still be my vision, O ruler of all.

there goes my pain.there goes my chains.did you see them falling?

I dreamt of something last night in my sleep.
I saw you sitting in a room without me.
You were smiling and you had a tattoo.
Of me.
in a room without you.

so I'm changing who I am
'cause what I am's not good
and I know You love me now
but I don't see why You should

this is my call i belong to You
this is my call to sing the melodies of You
this is my call i can do nothing else 
i can do nothing else 

the Hand that is breaking
is the hand that is making
all the dead things in me grow
a gift of a holy loss
this burning at the dross

so when You break my arms
i'll take hold of You
i know Your heart is a hand that takes hold of me

tonight i was so bored...i reduced myself to watching jessica simpson music videos.

last friday night,however,was Quite a different story.
def the most fun i've Ever had while square dancing : )

AND i have 2 new children,isabella and dominic.
oh for cute.

there are greater crimes than being a self absorbed jerk.
but we shouldn't do that either.

i fear becoming cynical.
sometimes it feels really good to sum myself,other people or situations up as crumby.
to open the door of expressing how it makes me feel.
which is the depressing combination of mad.and sad.
and then.there i said it.in all honesty.and it's out of my system.

not fair.

isn't it nice to know that we don't have to take pain personally?
all suffering(including and esp that inflicted by fellow humans) has divine purpose.

rawr.

have you ever been to a pig auction?
my uncle took me to one today.
and now as often as i can avoid eating pork(or beef for that matter)...i plan to.
perhaps i'll have a pet pig someday.i still would.

It's too bad Paul didn't ever get married.
he could have been a wonderful husband to some woman.
he understood and avoided his weaknesses.

did you know im married to sufjan stevens?
"Only a steel man can be a lover
If he had hands to tremble all over
We celebrate our sense of each other
We have a lot to give one another"

that's what im talking about.

have you noticed the incredibly beautifully fat lilac trees this spring?
the ones that are actually pink and white and purple and yellow.
they could be the number one cause of car accidents resulting from distraction.
and today.my grandpa showed me his 3 japanese maple trees.
and someday.i want to plant one.or 4.

do you ever feel like Moses?
our ignorant minds can't be relied on for the right words.
i hope God uses my mouth in amazing ways.
very soon.

Ollies's has the most amazing pillows for $8.
 4 would be nice.

my aunt's dog keeps sniffing really loud and scaring the crap out of me.
but i'll probably follow her example and collapse into sleepage pretty soon.
travis and i just decided that
"sleep deprivation cant be made up for by artificial energy"

come along now.
i discovered 3 ice cream stores in North Canton.
