| Time flies! This semester is going so quickly. A lot of changes are happening in my life, I don't know if they are good or bad yet. I just know they hurt a lot, and take a lot of...patience, with myself and with others. I feel like I'm learning alot about the difference between adulthood and childhood. They aren't always pleasant differences. I was watching the movie '13 Going on 30' the other day with one of my roommates, and I realized that in many ways I could apply a chick flick to my life, sad huh? But the main character has a line that I really like, she says, 'But you know, I'm not 13 anymore.' It seems like such a simplistic and obvious statement, but that statement marked a turning point in her thinking. She realized that she couldn't coast along, the naivete of childhood was not an excuse anymore for the mistakes in her life. Part of being an adult was taking ahold of where you were, living up to consequences and learning that you can't just shrug it off, but you now need to work hard to right your problems. And sometimes as I am finding, that causes a lot of pain and heartache, not just for yourself, but for those around you who have been affected by your decisions. And sometimes you lose something very special, something you wanted a great deal, because of bad decisions. But that's part of adulthood, learning to hold your head up, not weep with the grief of a child. Adulthood is really hard, it is not an age period, but a learned strength of character, and outlook that will color your actions. It is meeting problems and consequences with a grace and purpose, and not hiding under the blankets hoping it will go away, or passing off the blame to someone else. I'm not sure I like adulthood very much...but you know, I'm not 13 anymore. | | |

| Dragons wait within the book,
Catch your mind as you look,
Then set imagination free,
Liberate you from TV. Flying over forgotten lands,
Orb of power in your hands,
Or wait within a bosky dell,
The spirit in a magic well. Dragons freed my mind today,
All my thoughts flew away,
I'm as happy as can be,
Meeting pixies soon, for tea!

| I just like what this song has to say... Phones were ringing, tongues were wagging
Hot gossip was flying
All around town
She heard the talk, the lowdown was
The shameless color of
Her wedding gown
It's white
I mean, really, who's she trying to kid?
Everybody knows the things she did
It just isn't right
Won't that be a sight
To see her wearing white
She was wild, a wayward child
To put it mildly
She made her life a mess
But she was young, the past is done
Now she's in love
And putting on a new dress
It's white
And it's nobody's business what she wears
Anyway the truth is she don't care
Baby, it's her life
She'll do what she likes
And she likes wearing white
He's all nerves when he sees her
As far as he's concerned
She's an angel
In white
He just can't believe that she is his
What a crazy miracle this is
Who she was he don't mind
Cause on their wedding night
She'll be wearing white

| What can we say to describe just a glimpse of Your glory
How can our words portray but a thread of your majesty
But still we praise our Savior
In Spirit and in Truth
For we cannot say enough about You
