Part of The Thoughts In My Chaotic Mind
Arms nailed down,
Are you tellin me something?
Eyes turned out,
Are you looking for someone?
This is the one thing,
The one thing that I know.
Blood-stained brow,
Are you dying for nothing?
Flesh and blood,
Is it so elemental?
This is the one thing,
The one thing that I know.
This is the one thing,
The one thing that I know.
Blood-stained brow,
He wasn’t broken for nothing.
Arms nailed down,
He didn’t die for nothing.
This is the one thing,
The one thing that I know.
This is the one thing,
The one thing that I know.
This is the one thing,
The one thing that I know.
This is the one thing,
The one thing that I know.

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? Who will bring a charge against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies; who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Just as it is written, “FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE BEING PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG; WE WERE CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED.” But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
–Romans 8:31-39
Argh
I was loving up my flufferpie today and noticed that he had a huge bump on his lip that was about the size of my fingertip. I called the vet and got him in to see Rachel (our vet) who took some blood from the bump and scheduled him for surgery on Monday to get it removed. He’s doing OK otherwise and was a very good cat when I had to give him his antibiotics (to keep it from getting infected).
Pray that the surgery takes care of the growth and that it isn’t something cancerous…
My Thoughts Right Now
Hear my prayer, O Lord
From the ends of the earth I cry
Your peace will lead me to
The Rock that is higher than I
For you have been my strength in times of trouble
A tower above my enemies
And Lord, I will abide with you forever
In the shelter of your wings

Anger
I am so furious over the Confirmation situation that I’m not eating and I’m spending my time under the covers hiding.
Oh yeah… we’re going to be carless in a week.
Prayers would be appreciated.
