“Abundant food is in the fallow ground of the poor,
But it is swept away by injustice.”
–Proverbs 13:23

Might we fight this injustice and provide the circumstance for this wrong to be corrected.

I do what I can. It seems like that is all I can do and should ever expect myself to do, but for some reason I constantly feel like I should do more.

Lovelite just wrote a song that has a chorus that starts,

Honestly, there’s no good in me

…and sometimes I feel like this is the best description of my heart. What is important for me to remember though, is that despite my condition, I am loved and opened to the hope of new life.

Feeling emotions, both happy and sad, thankful and contrite, excited and in suspense, all of these are good. They make life worth living and keep things interesting.

May I always be in a place in life that I can feel.

…is always so relative. Why is this a lesson that I learn over and over again through different circumstances?

…seems to be the theme for me this season of my life. I need more of it (don’t we all?) each day and the decisions that I’m making and relationships that I am building are showing me this quite clearly.

Oh that it would be a part of me so deeply that I would hardly realize they ways it is working in me.

It’s funny how so often when I’m in a certain place and time, I’m thinking of another place and time.

I guess that’s what happens when life is good.

I’ve got one, my nose is red from blowing it using tough paper towels, and I’ve got to work tonight. Here’s to hoping I look like a clown!

It’s a pretty awful feeling, though, knowing that I didn’t leave AT ALL. Sometimes I think that it’s nice just kinda hanging around the house, but then it actually happens (regularly… my Tuesdays through Thursdays are like this) and I realize just how much I like getting out and about.

I did get bailed on for coffee today, though, so it wasn’t all my fault!

Blogging is tough, you know?! So hard to be consistent.
