A few things

I was reading Titus 1:15 tonight and I love/fear this concept. I hope I can always feel pure before the Lord so the things I do become offerings to Him. What a wonderful thing to think about!

I hope to have at least one thought worth writing down each time I read the scriptures. For me, being able to write something about the things I study and learn is important.

The comms department has a Vienna Study Abroad program. I would love to go back to Europe. Maybe I should work on getting my internship abroad instead, though.

I used to write a lot of poetry. It may not have been the best prose, but I loved it. It's been so long since I wrote creatively. In college it's all about facts. Every essay I write these days demands a lot of information in a small space. I think to help me feel better about writing, I need to let myself do a little creative writing on my own now and then.

Maybe I'll share...keep your eyes peeled.

I had a class that required 20 mins of freewriting (with use of backspace or pauses discouraged) every MWF. It was quite therapeutic after I stopped writing complaints about having to do it for the whole 20 mins.

I want you to know, Cindy, that I cling to every word you write and thrill at your wisdom and gift of expression. I learn so much from you! And I'm looking forward to reading your poems.

Since morebadger (dear Eric) shared his poem I'll share one of mine. You've already heard it--you sang it, because I put it to music:

I thought I'd never find true love,
I thought my prayers weren't heard above,
Then I found you...
And I knew God heard me all along,
My heart could finally sing its song,
For I found you...
And now forever isn't long enough,
Since I found you...
