“I heard Madonna and Cher had a falling-out. Yeah. Now they’re no longer on a first name basis.”
I heard a funny joke today:

This Is Why You Should Never, EVER, Turn Your Back On a Two Year Old…Not Even For Just a MINUTE.
Father’s Day
Yesterday morning when Ruthie and I came downstairs (Bryan is a very early riser), I whispered in her ear to tell Daddy, “Happy Father’s Day!”
She very shyly tiptoed up to him and said in such a dainty, quiet voice, “…fart day.”
Then she gave him a hug.

“Fix You”
by Coldplay
from the X&Y album
When you try your best, but you don’t succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can’t sleep
Stuck in reverse
When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can’t replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
High up above or down below
When you too in love to let it go
If you never try you’ll never know
Just watch and learn
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
All My Tears
Just today I received word that the cancer in Gordy’s lung has continued to grow. It has taken over half the lung, his lymph nodes, and possibly spread into his liver. He is very weak, and according to my mom, Gordy says he feels like he’s dying.
The doctors have narrowed his time with us down to weeks… maybe a couple months.
Ironically… or perhaps not… I was listening to Emmylou Harris this morning in the quiet before my daughter awoke, and the lyrics to one of her songs caught my ear. I’ve listened to her music over and over, and this song is not new to me. However, it usually remains in the meditative backround as I write or work.
This morning, before I knew of the saddening news of my beloved, God called my attention to the loving grace of knowing him and trusting him to receive our loved ones in death.
All My Tears
by Julie Miller
When I go don’t cry for me
In my father’s arms I’ll be
The wounds this world left on my soul
Will all be healed and I’ll be whole
Sun and moon will be replaced
With the light of Jesus’ face
And I will not be ashamed
For my savior knows my name
It don’t matter where you bury me
I’ll be home and I’ll be free
It don’t matter where I lay
All my tears be washed away
Gold and silver blind the eye
Temporary riches lie
Come and eat from heaven’s store
Come and drink and thirst no more
So weep not for me my friend
When my time below does end
For my life belongs to him
Who will raise the dead again
It don’t matter where you bury me
I’ll be home and I’ll be free
It don’t matter where I lay
All my tears be washed away
