Old School

I found a notebook filled with some random scribbles and drawings. All of these poems/writings are dug up from it. Enjoy!

Tape

Adhesive pulls
to cover
and to stick
covering up
the mess
so spread out
and thick

but what little
tape does
in the face of
rain & more.

Duct tape can do most everything but it can't fix your heart, you need something really strong and special for that. As my friend Emily {M.} would say, "I really think you'd like my friend Jesus. He's pretty awesome and the best!"

submerged
in death
but brought
to life

to new
given by and through
you
who gives
us life through grace
our sorrow
broken by tomorrow

and all he already is
God is new life

Last Sat.

[Story from a long run that went longer than intended because it didn't loop.. it kept going!]

Long runs are good & uncomfortable- when I got farther than I had intended I decided to walk back. I was walking by beautifully recrafted homes and was coming upon a nice stone home when I heard "clack" "clack" "clack" "clack". What is this, I thought. Upon coming closer, I saw two small boys looking like rugged indians or cowboys with their little plastic cap guns.

To cement their pretend game the one boy with a Tori like brown haired bob looked at me and smirked as he pointed at me and SHOT! Haha, I had become the target. I jokingly ran and the one boy yelled "Get her! She is our target!" only to quickly say, " I got her." Too cute/wonderful.

Thank you God for that.
                     Amen.
