Well, my first ever grown up dinner party went well. There were many people who didn't RSVP, but luckily didn't show up. The conversation wasn't too terribly awkward (considering the company was myself, Emily, Dr. Bolon and his wife). I will have another soon, hopfully this time with better attendance.
Now I would like to leave you with some song lyrics that are sung and written by Carrie Newcomer (folk type singer)
Take down your defenses
Like you've taken off your clothes
It's a glorious insurrection
Not to hold your secrets close
What's the use in counting errors
Or the help in counting sheep
I don't intend to live my whole life out
Just to find I was asleep
It's not the things I've gone and done
I'll regret or be ashamed
But the things I did not say or do
Just because I was afraid
How mysterious and wondrous
The strange circlings of the mind
And that I can see as far ahead of me
As I can see behind
Hindsight's always 20/20
But, we see what we want see
And I used to pray for wisdom
Now I know just what that means
I'm learning to forgive
And relearn it everyday
Every time I stop to gather stones
I straighten up and walk away
I don't have another message
I don't have anything to sell
And there are no easy answers
As far as I can tell
And I don't believe that Jesus was crazy
Or that it is Mohammad's fault
When something good can get so twisted
That there's no semblance at all
Just because the odds are bad
Doesn't mean you shouldn't risk
Don't believe it will not happen
Just because it hasen't happened yet.
This song makes me happy and makes me think :)
THIS IS THE END
