“So Who am I? Don’t say it’ll stay this way forever. Don’t say it’ll stay this way forever. I’m the lesson you’ll never learn, The sickness that was never your concern. I’m the big surprise at the end of the night, The bridge in the gap, The corner of your mind. So Who am I? Don’t say it’ll stay this way forever . . .” (New Found Glory).
I was in a really grumpy, near-angry, bitter, resentful, frustrated, jaded, vulnerable, suppressed, confused mood sitting here on my computer bored and miserably sick when my sister Karen started singing His Hands. I’m not going to lie, I pretty much melted. It is such a beautiful, touching song, and her voice is so beautiful. “. . . They take His hands, His mighty hands, those gentle hands, And then they pierce them, they pierce them. He lets them because of love. From birth to death was selflessness, And clearly now I see Him with His hands, Calling to me. And though I’m not yet as I would be, He has shown me how I could be. I will make my hands like those from Galilee.”I hate being sick. Of course I come home just in time to catch the family virus (the downside of 7 kids, 2 of them almost 5 with the rest in school). My throat is on fire and I want to cut off my nose (a picture of Michael Jackson stopped me from doing it). Grrrrrrr. My whole head is so stuffed up with snot and medicine. (I’m sure that was a lovely visual for you).
“I watched the walls around me crumble, but its not like I won’t build them up again. So here’s your last chance for redemption, So take it while it lasts ’cause it will end. And my tears are turning into time I’ve wasted trying to find a reason . . .” (Lindsay Lohan). [I know, I know. don't judge me, lol]

I hate it when I write a post or a comment,and then xanga decides to be mean and “experience technical difficulties” when I go to submit…oh well. What I said the first time I tried this commenting thing was how much I love Kenneth Cope and that song. I’ve heard that song a countless number of times ever since I was just a little kid, and it’s always made me cry. I love all of his cd’s. I think Kenneth Cope is a wonderful song writer-I can definately feel the spirit in his songs. Ok, I’m probably rambling, as usual. I hope that your sickness goes away soon-not feeling good is the pits. I also hope that you feel better overall, too. hopefully my internet decides to stop being a mean jerk and let’s me sign into to aim one of these days and we can talk! take care-megan
ps….lindsay lohan???? (well…I guess I’ve got some Hil Duff on my playlist, so I’ll let it slide)
Feel better Dan! Do I need to resend that drawing?
Tell me when you get that call!
I woke up to a lovely Saturday morning, which seconds later was loudly interrupted by my nose and a couple boxes of Kleenex.
