was doing outlines for preudhomme and thought it was nifty...

"I have been called a pioneer....a pioneer is a man who comes to a virgin country, traps off all the fur, kills off all the wild meat, cuts down all the trees, grazes off all the grass, plows the roots up, and strings ten million miles of wire. A pioneer destroys things and calls it civilization. I wish to God this country was just like it was when i first saw it and that none of you folks were here at all."
--Charles Marion Russell, frontier artist

and it made me think of a rich mullins song....

well the Lord said let there be and there was
on the earth below and in the sky above
well then He knocked off work 'cause it was Friday night
come Saturday morning everything was just alright
sure enough

well, the Lord said let man choose and man did
well, there's been sorrow and trouble in the world ever since
but there's hope for us still in the Word God says
if we'd just be smart enough to just say yes

30 Hour Famine went wonderfully...more on that later

i search the diamond sky 
i raise my voice and cry
seeking for answers why 
and a way to cope

the questions multiply
as silence testifies
and doubt comes to imply
there is no hope
but deeper in me still
there is a stronger will
when I've done all I can
I will stand with a higher faith
trusting in a sovereign Lord above
who is good and is just
higher faith
like a river running deep in me
carries me upon the sea of grace
into a higher faith

miracles are mysteries
but they speak so clear to me
of life's uncertainty
I want to know
these blessings we embrace
in this life are just a taste
of a heaven that awaits
I want to go

this journey is a trial
a heartache for awhile
but when it all comes down 
i want to be found with a higher faith
trusting in a sovereign Lord above
who is good and is just
higher faith
like a river running deep in me
carries me upon the sea of grace
into a higher faith

time after time
i find myself
losing my mind
i have to remind myself
that this is just a waiting room
and we're waiting for Your love
oh, everything will be alright
and everything will be ok
if I don't let this world carry me to sin
and I don't understand how
we could be so blind not to see
the love that stands in front of
in front of you and me
don't doubt He Loves You
day after day
i find myself
looking away
i have to remind myself
that You're there and I belong to You
don't doubt He loves you, He loves me
He loves me
He loves you, He loves you, He loves you, He loves me

"Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless...."
~2 peter 3:14

i'll kill the thing that turns me away
amputate the arm that will disobey
withdraw from everything that's hurting me
until You finish Your work in me

the heart is a lonely thing to lose in the dead of the night
the heart is a sad thing to lose in the throws of a fight
the heart is the match to the fire
and the embers of desire
to keep it burning

i am a shell of the manner and the means
mine is a story of nothing as it seems
but when we have come this far
and still don't know who we are
does it keep burning?

when it's over
and you see it with your eyes
would you rather have the truth or a lie?

i call for angels to breathe holy on this rust
i call the snakes to come out slowly from the brush
i need a massive overhaul
a revival to fall
to keep it burning

when it's over
and you see it with your eyes
would you rather have the truth or a lie?

the heart is a costly thing to sell in the prime of the years
and my heart is thinly veiled in the usual fears
the heart is the dream
and the kiss
that there could be more than this
to keep it burning...

the cast list is out.

my semi-formal dress came while i was @ ECU...
and the extra super good news is that it fits.

and into the woods was...much more fun than doing homework. blah.

yay!
