There's no place like home...

Here is my little diddy for you... I was in Overland Park for a day, spent all day with my cousin and his family. I had a blast... well the plan was just for the morning I'd hang with them but when I heard they would be picketing against Fred Phelps aka "God hates fags" guy... I said "Oh, I'm so there!" This guy is crazy! Of course my mom thought I would end up in cuffs but it was peaceful and he didn't show. I also stuck near Jana because if he would have been there and anyone would have got in my face..... well I'm not one to back down, hence the reason my mother was worried. Haha. If it came down to it and I truly had to stand down, I would have for my cuz. :P I think two news crews showed up. I know I had some air time on one channel. When the clip is online, I'll try to post it. In town one day and I made the news. ;)

Our signs read:
NO MORE HATE.
GOD LOVES EVERYONE.
GOD LOVES GAY'S.
9/11 BROKE GOD'S HEART.
GOD BLESS AMERICA.

The church at Westboro which Fred Phelps leads has 71 confirmed members, 60 of whom are related to Phelps through blood or marriage or both. The homophobic Westboro Baptist Church began picketing the funerals of U.S. soldiers who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan. The group has used the same tactic against the gay community at hundreds of events nationwide. Some of the signs they hold read, "God is your enemy," God hates fags," "9/11 gift from God," "God hates the U.S.A.," "Your sons are in hell" and this list goes on and on!

Let me just leave you with that.

All I need...

Left my fear by the side of the road

Hear You speak, won't let go

Fall to my knees as I lift my hands to pray

Got every reason to be here again

A Father's love that draws me in

And all my eyes wanna see is a glimpse of You



All I need is You
All I need is You Lord
Is You Lord



One more day and it's not the same

Your Spirit calls my heart to sing

Drawn to the voice of my Saviour once again

Where would my soul be without Your Son

Gave His life to save the earth

Rest in the thought that You're watching over me

You hold the universe
You hold everyone on earth
You hold the universe

Not simply going to just survive anymore...

Where do you stand?

You don't get far by standing in the middle! Its hard to tell exactly where you are. Because both sides see that you have no view and what you do doesn't impress them either. They keep pushing while you resist. It starts to wear you to the very core. How can we ever think of compromising?

Not much to say...

I find myself writing in the midst of silence... yet the music is loud.


"Because that's what people do, they leap, and hope to God they can fly, because otherwise you just drop like a rock, wondering the whole way down, why did I jump? But here I am, falling, and the only one that can make me feel like I can fly, is you."

There are things that I am learning
That I feel I need to share
Tho' these lessons come with anguish
And, a heavy load to bear

To trust the Lord, is not so tough
When the days are warm and light
But, to learn the truth of trusting
You must walk with just His light

For if wheree're you look is darkness
And you can't feel what's ahead
To take a step in simple faith
Is more than just words said

For words and thoughts come quickly
And are not easy to retrieve
But the price of knowing what you say
Is what you do believe

Comes with an all-out battle
Where you're bruised, hit hard, and fought
And the lessons that are learned thru' this
Cannot be simply taught

What I'm trying hard to say to you
Is that my Lord is real
And not a Sunday morning thing
Or a statue where you kneel

He's a resurrected Savior King
He's your very closet friend
And He'll always bring the victory
For with Him there is no end.

This is hilarious!
