Saturday

I have been told that I need to warn people ahead of time about my messiness while eating at In-N-Out Burger. So, I did today, when someone offered to go eat there together. He was shocked at my statement, wondering what on Earth I could be thinking. However, once we sat down and I started dipping the fries into the vanilla milkshake, and then the sandwich itself, he understood quickly: No clean hands for me while eating In-N-Out!

The greatest part of it, perhaps, though, was how he said I had changed his whole world of In-N-Out. Now he, too, was in love with putting milkshake on bites of his burger and fries.

Boy, it was such a good time, and it was utterly delicious and silly and fun.

Heart and soul

Tonight, my mom and I continued our tradition of going to Shake Russell concerts. It was amazing, wonderful, so many good words and feelings. The venue was an adorable old barn-type place in town that we had never before noticed but that has apparently been a music venue for small events since 1969. Lyle Lovett and Shake Russell and many other known names apparently played there all throughout the years. And it was palpable in the space. Also, the sound system was awesome – the kind where you don’t even notice there’s a sound system, because it just works so beautifully and effectively.

Uh… it was just wonderful, y’all…

God blessed this night.

God, thank you for such an amazing and wonderful and heart-filling night tonight. Thank you for the absolute blessing that is Shake Russell and his music. And thank you for my family and all of the love that surrounded me tonight. I love you. Thank you. Please, guide me to fulfill your will in all things through my life. In your name, I pray. Amen.

Some days…

La-dee-da-dee-dah-dah la-dee-dah…

Man, some days, it just feels like the world crushes you like a bug, and then you end up thinking of that final fight scene in Men in Black, and you get totally grossed out at the idea of all those bugs being squashed and eeeewwwww-ickk-gross!

Ugh… God, please, don’t make me figure this one out – just do as you wish, and I will follow suit wholeheartedly. Your will be done fully and forever. In your name I pray. Amen.

Bugs

Right about now, I am missing my old Golden Retrievers. It has been roughly 16 or 18 years since the father died, and a handful of years fewer for the sun… and yet, here we are, missing them, almost suddenly.

I want those hugs and loves and belly rubs. That was an amazing time in life.

And I want something more nowadays, please.

Arise

‘Arise,’ they told her.
‘Do it like this,’ they said.

‘It’ll be perfect,’ they promised.
But these were lies they said.
And so, instead of stepping up to being who they expected her to be, she stood up for who she truly was made to be.
And the world never was quite the same,
Once she’d set it aflame
With all that she truly was.
