Written on the way to a student's funeral:

Eyes heavy with sadness and sleeplessness

Thinking back over the last three years

And my time with you

You were there

You were there

Blue lights flashing

Tried to reason, tried to explain

Didn’t matter in the end

012908:  "Faith belongs in the arena."

071507:  Thoughts from River Road

Take my yoke upon you... It’s easy and light

All my actions as responses to god

Trust him to take care of situations and people. How can I trust him if I don’t? How do I learn to trust him? Look at nature...

Stop trying to do everything and be like everyone else... Do what you are

My opinion doesn’t count... What does God think?
