I live a wonky and wobbly souled life.
My plaster is cracked.
My paint is peeling.
There is darkness in my inner self.
And yet....
there is something strangely lovely about everything that is me.
I think it must be God.
God within,
slicing through the darkness
Making my peeling,
painted self
shine.

Yea, I hear ya. There was a song some time ago, and the fellow singing comments about someone giving him a pat on the back for being good, or doing a good thing. And his response was in the chorus, "The only thing that's good in me, is Jesus....." He goes on to say that he knows himself well enough to know that he's not good, it's all about Jesus. Something like that. It's been a long time. Anyway, that's how I often feel. I want to do everything I should, but I fail. Not all the time, but I do.
Also, a famous person in your area, who'd dear to my heart, Larry Norman died yesterday. I'm so glad mom, Aidan, and I got to see his last performance in that area. I'm a little bummed out, but I know he's doing better where he is now, than he was here. Even then he was very sickly. He was a trooper and gave all he had and then some, but you could tell he was not 100%. C ya.
PS: Here's a video I did a year ago today!

It's Larry's song "Goodbye, Farewell" that he mentioned in his last words that were posted on his website and in a Yahoo group I belong to.
Wow, I hadn't heard about Larry Norman.....that's sad news.
He was an amazing musical talent...I'm very thankful Aidan had a chance to see him perform. I know Aidan will be sad to hear the news of Larry's passing from this world to the next.
Hang in there James!
We love ya!
