Not me, but YOU

Lord, let me set aside my name, so that my soul can glorify yours. . .

Silly Little Sheep


Its funny how sheep tend to mindlessly wander away from their Shepard. It all starts with a few steps in the wrong direction, just over to that green patch of grass. From there, they see another patch of green lush grass just a few steps further. And from there another, and another, until they finally realize that they are lost. And no matter how many times that a sheep will go astray, the Shepard will always search for it, and bring the sheep back.

We are no different from sheep. We stray from the path just a little, to that patch of green grass, for that short term satisfaction. Then we get carried away, and we become lost. We, like that sheep, get so lost in the short term satisfactions and gains, that we fail to realize that the Shepard is leading us to the field with the greenest pastures.

I am thankful that my Shepard never stops calling out for me, and always brings me back.

Mindless Menace of Violence

One one my closest friends posted this in her blog, I have heard of this speech, but never seen it. I feel that violence, hate, and negitivity greatly out-weigh love and trust in today's world. . .we must change. . . Thanks Britt!!

Re: Can We?

So I turned in my poem and I only got a 50%. . .how lame is that. I was told that I did not state the media outlet that the poem was made for, the guides lines of the poem, and it did not meant the "requirements" of taking the place of a 9 page paper (well of course not, that is why i chose to write a poem, so i would have to write a 9 pager). . .all of which were not stated in any handouts given, or in the syllabus. . .boo for that.
