love life. | | |
| there is a lovely Hasidic story of a rabbi who always told his people that if they studied the Torah, it would put Scripture on their hearts. One of them asked, "why on our hearts, and not in them? The rabbi answered, "Only God can put Scripture inside. but reading sacred text can put it on your hearts, and then when your hearts break, the holy words will fall inside." | | |
| they kick you because you notice them. most of them fight so hard for the painless.
COME BACK PAPER....COME BAAAAAAAAAAAAACK | | |
| every day we say this prayer
dear Jesus,
help me to spread thy fragrance
everywhere i go
flood my soul with Thy spirit and life
penetrate and posess my whole being
so utterly
that all my life may only be
a radiance of Thine
shine through me
and be so in me
that every soul i come in contact with
may feel Thy presence in my soul
let them look up and see
no longer me
but only Jesus | | |

dang.
so i'm at panera, people watching, waiting on my veggie sandwich. the truett seminary student in the corner is jamming out on headphones and laptop with a cell phone on the table. then all of a sudden he stands up and the headphones come with him too. and i was horrified/ confused for a minute and i thought, lORD don't let us wind up like this, plugged into something at all possible times..even when we just have to go to the coke machine. we might run into someone and have to talk! eep.
(gosh it's weird writing about a person you've never met sitting a few feet in front of you.)
you can always tell who the married people are at restaurants, they are the ones who for the most part just talk. i don't want that.
