Words of Wisdom

Tonight, as we're getting ready to play raquetball:

Susannah: I've spent all day trying to figure out how to walk - without moving my legs.

Me: Let me know how that works out for you.

Is it a Western??

MAX PAYNE
( PG-13:For violence including intense shootin sequences, drug content, 100 min.)

this is the exact description of the film on the cinemark website. No joke.

Out of the Mouths of Babes

Today was Halloween at school (we are off tomorrow), so much of the staff dressed up. The following took place this morning, before school:

our music teacher (who was dressed - very clearly- as a witch): Cristiam! Heeeheeeheee (imagine a cruel witch cackle)

Cristiam: Are you a leprechaun?

What My Students Learned Today

Michael Jackson's dance moves in Thriller. It's true. One student piped up and said she had never heard of Michael Jackson (what?!), and the day couldn't go on until we got it taken care of. I would like to think their lives are better because of it.

Here's one to you, Michael Jackson.

and again: today

"In the midst of my striving and straining, Ive lost sight of the other side of this wonderful mystery: He pursues me. Not because I'm beautiful or smart or worthy of His affections, or even because I'm looking for Him - but simply because His love for me is too consuming to do anything less." -Stephanie Voiland, Holy Pursuit

surely Your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life! -psalm 23:6

Today

Walk along here,feel You move somewhere in front of me
I can't place You with these eyes for the doubt I can't see

How could someone so beautiful
Feel something for me?
Hold me and love me and touch me again
And show me why i believe

That the first time I see Your face
Everything else around me will fade to the background
And I'll be struck full by the truth in Your gaze
As You work and indelible change in me

All I have and all I am and all I think and do
Can find it's purpose and meaning and life only in You

How could someone so beautiful
Feel something for me?
Won't you hold me and love me and touch me again
And show me why I believe

-Indelible, Brooke Fraser
