Just in case anyone was curious...

Your Love Style is Eros

For you, love is all about the passion!
And chances are, you're currently in love.
You have a strong physical response to love...
And you are great at committing
(As long as the person makes your toes curl!)

There is so much to say

Yet, I cannot find the words. So much violence in schools, even an Amish school. I live near the Amish. I have purchased vegetables, flowers, furniture...quilts...so much peace in those communities and it is shattered by this. Girls targeted, molested, assaulted.

My heart hurts. Aches.

Gun control is not the answer. The answer is getting the troubled, the angry, the hurt, to call for and accept the help they so desperately need. the answer is treating the cause of the violence, not locking away the implement. There will always be an implement.

Dear God, keep my kids safe. Tomorrow, and the tomorrow after that, and for all the tomorrows to come. This I pray.

Amen.

Not my words, but as near to a prayer as I'm going to get.


Every night I say a prayer in the hope that there’s a heaven.
And every day I’m more confused as the saints turn into sinners.
All the heroes and legends I knew as a child have fallen to idols of clay.
And I feel this empty place inside so afraid that I’ve lost my faith….

Show me the way, show me the way…
Take me tonight to the river, and wash my illusions away.
Please show me the way.

And as I slowly drift to sleep, for a moment dreams are sacred.
I close my eyes and know there’s peace in a world so filled with hatred.
Then I wake up each morning, and turn on the news to find we’ve so far to go.
And I keep on hoping for a sign, so afraid that I just won’t know…

Show me the way, show me the way
Take me tonight to the mountain, and take my confusion away.

And if I see a light, should I believe?
Tell me, how will I know?

Show me the way, show me the way
Take me tonight to the river, and wash my illusions away.
Show me the way, show me the way
Give me the strength, and the courage to believe that I’ll get there someday.
Please, show me the way

Every night I say a prayer in the hope that there’s a heaven...
