People Of Possibility

In light of Osama Bin Laden's death. I found this video inspiring.

Coming back

One of these days the sky's gonna break
And everything will escape and I'll know
One of these days the mountains
Are gonna fall into the sea and they'll know
That you and I were made for this
I was made to taste your kiss
We were made to never fall away
Never fall away

One of these days letters are gonna
Fall from the sky telling us all to go free
But until that day I'll find a way
To let everybody know that you're coming back
You're coming back for me

'Cause even though you left me here
I have nothing left to fear
These are only walls that hold me here
Hold me here, hold me here

One day soon I'll hold you
Like the sun holds the moon
And we will hear those planes overhead
And we won't have to be scared
We won't have to be scared
We won't have to be scared

You're coming back for me

Letters From The Sky
Civil Twilight - Human

This. Song. Is. Amazing.

strangers

I don't know your face, no more
Or feel the touch, that I adore
I don't know your face, no more
It's just the place, I'm looking for

We might as well be strangers, in another town
We might as well be living, in a different world
We might as well

I don't know your thoughts these days
We're strangers in, an empty space
I don't understand your heart
It's easier, to be apart

We might as well be strangers in another town
We might as well be living in another time
We might as well

For all I know of you now

Keane: We Might As Well Be Strangers
Album: Hopes and Fears

i've had quite a few moments where i had things to blog or work through. but the absence of quick, timely, easy access to a computer...... na. not really. just laziness, kept me from updating.
and doesn't a stubborn laziness keep us from doing most things that should be done?

this song seems to be about a relationship between two people that have grown apart. for me, right now, it symbolizes and describes how i feel about a few people (friends and family) currently. it's funny how people change over the years. and how quickly they can become someone you don't know. part of me though wonders if it wasn't them at all, but me that changed. or was somewhat blinded by the desire to see them as "perfect." i don't know why, but i'm always deeply wounded in watching my friends experience the part of their humanity that is ugly. i'm tempted to run away, even when that is exactly what i try and tell them not to do. ya, mine is not the same ugliness as theirs, but who am i to think mine is somehow better or less ugly? my ugliness is the same. that is the truth.

the challenge for me is to love no matter what. and not run away. not avoid. not divert. just slowly and surely walk right through the ugliness. even if they seem like strangers, and not the people i knew before... my challenge is to stay. my challenge is to see people in their humanity. all the time. not just when their making the decisions i think they should. maybe even the decisions that i know are right. my challenge is to rely on Him. and trust. fully.

my weakness is...
pride
ignorance
stubbornness
cowardness
delusion
drama

i am the stranger. my challenge is to see me. as i really am. not as i'd like to see myself.

the stranger is me. the Truth is calling me. and i run away.

name tags

conference 2006!

crash

It's the sense of touch. In any real city, you walk, you know? You brush past people, people bump into you. In L.A., nobody touches you. We're always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much, that we crash into each other, just so we can feel something.~Graham

as humans, we crave personal relationship. we were created to experience personal relationship in it's fullest and most wonderful capacity - then something went horribly wrong. since we can't get it the way God intended, we grapple, scratch, and grasp for it, eventually attaining only a semblance of the real thing.

i watched this movie about a month ago. i haven't been able stop thinking about it since. it's such a great movie. very moving - thought provoking. it's one I will add to my very small, very selective collection of DVDs.


listen to the soundtrack.
check out the film website.

funny

I found this from another blog that I've been checking and reading for about a week now....it's great!
