Football FINALLY makes sense.......... A guy took his blonde girlfriend to her first football game. They had great seats right behind their team's bench. After the game, he asked her how she liked the experience.

"Oh, I really liked it," she replied, "especially the tight pants and all the big muscles, but I just couldn't understand why they were killing each other over 25 cents."

Dumbfounded, her date asked, "What do you mean?"

"Well, they flipped a coin, one team got it and then for the rest of the game, all they kept screaming was: 'Get the quarterback! Get the quarterback!' I'm like...Helloooooo? It's only 25 cents!!!!

"Creatures I give you yourselves," said the strong, happy voice of Aslan. "I give you this land of Narnia. I give you the woods, the fruits, the rivers. I give you the stars and i give you myself. The Dumb Beasts whom I have not chosen are yours also. Treat them gently and cherish them but do not go back to thier ways lest you cease to be Talking Beasts. For out of them you were taken and into them you can return. Do not so."

Indescrible

From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
You are amazing God

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
Incomparable, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same
You are amazing God
You are amazing God

Trash Talk

trystal814: dont forgret to pump yourself up for raquetball cause im takin you down :-P
Laita i Eru: riiight...
trystal814: ooh that hurts
Laita i Eru: you just keep thinking happy thoughts

a circle completed

Something tragic happened today. As i was cleaning my room this afternoon my favorite bracelet burst. A torrential downpour of beads showered onto the floor and scattered in all directions. Now you may be thinking its just a bracelet... here you are wrong my friend. This bracelet traveled all the way from Peru before ever adorning this wrist of mine. This bracelet was a gift from a boy on a mission trip to his favorite girl. When i put it on it was a circle completed... not just in shape... my boy had gone, traveled, adventured and come back home to me... a circle completed. it hurts my heart that it is now broken and i can no longer wear what has become a daily reminder of all the wonderful things that God has blessed me with. yet, i have not lost all hope, i spent 15 minutes on my hands and knees gathering up beads in hopes of rebuliding what was lost. the circle shall be mended.
