More funny

They keep telling us to get in touch with our bodies. Mine isn't all that communicative, but I heard from it the other day after I said,

"Body, how'd you like to go to the six o'clock class in vigorous toning?"

Clear as a bell my body said, "Listen fatty.....do it and die."

Too Funny

If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it will always be yours. If it doesn't come back, it was never yours to begin with. But...if it just sits in your living room, messes up your stuff, eats your food, uses your phone, takes your money, and doesn't appear to realize that you had set it free....you either married it or gave birth to it.

Thought we were threw
little we knew
divine grace, blue angel eyes
perfect size
you came into our lives
perfect day, perfect time
big plans we have
but you'll change them all
one day
owning that shopping mall
still hard to believe
you are mine
on loan
just for a time
we keepers of a beautiful flame
vow of God means her name
who will she be?
how beautiful?
how sweet?
only time will tell

Micah

Been here before
but not with you
brand new world
brand new you
more like me than you'll ever know
brown eyes, dark hair
all aglow
changed our lives for the better
like a beautiful love letter
straight from God
meaning like God
I'll hold your hand
until we die
or until into another heart you'll fly
lucky her
but I was first
through the good and through the worst
wouldn't trade a day
God smiled on me
gave me Ray
I'll never be all you need
I'll be replaced
one day
by another she
Never be another like my

You rested
inside of me
9 months
were one with me
hearts beat together
as one
in more ways than one
love grew
fathoms deep
no way to know
who you would be
only a name
to start the glee
who knew
what would come after
your name means laughter
my heart was too small
to hold it all
i made room
for more to come
God knew you before me
formed your face
with care to be
lovely and magic
Isaac

Autumn and Me

My favorite time of year, Fall. Properly named, because I fall in love with it every year. Since I was a child, I could smell it in the air. I actually know the smell.... it is a wood burning, leaf browning smell. I can't explain it any better, but I know that I could sit outside and just.......... breathe.........the whole season long... if I had no responsibilities... of course. I do, though, so I just get to enjoy it in passing these days. I got married this time of year, so that my anniverseries would have a beautiful background, so they do. I was born in Spring, so is it an opposite attraction thing? Just a thought. When I was younger, I thought I would like to live waaaay up North, with lots of snow. Now that I live a little further North......than the deep south....I have changed my mind. I love Fall, but Winter can be so harsh. Just a little snow is all I need. Kentucky is a beautiful state. I am happy here, would like to visit the East coast, though. I especially find the pictures of New England in the Fall breathe taking. One of my dream vacations would be to drive an SUV with a little camper up the coast and stop somewhere different every day, eat somewhere unheard of, shop at a mom and pop store, sit on the shore and talk to strangers, have no particular destination........definitely a dream. Retirement? Who knows, right? Back to the subject at hand, autumn, it is sooooo completely lovely. Nicole Nordeman sings a song about the seasons, one of my favorite songs, and she relates them to the seasons of our lives, parallel to the way we transform as human beings. I am amazed how God created EVERYTHING relative. She refers to Fall as a time of death, when leaves fall from the branches, grass dies (some say thank God for that!) But it awakens me, so strange. Maybe I look forward to some things fading away, and making room for new, who knows.  All I do know, is that deep orange, banana yellow, rustic red, they go so good together.
