stupid van. . .
stupid work. . .

blessed life.

it's hard to justify complaining when there really isn't anything worth complaining about.

Thank God.

Happy Lent.

an excersise in futility

i was going to write an angry blog about how much i hate McDonald's coffee commercials. after i had written part of it i realized that there really wasn't any good reason to do that. so, instead, here are some funny pictures of pug dogs. enjoy.

Love's as warm as tears: by C.S. Lewis

Love's as warm as tears,
Love is tears:
Pressure within the brain,
Tension at the throat,
Deluge, weeks of rain,
Haystacks afloat,
Featureless seas between
Hedges, where once was green

Love's as fierce as fire,
Love is fire:
All sorts--Infernal heat
Clinkered with greed and pride,
Lyric desire, sharp-sweet,
Laughing, even when denied,
And that empyreal flame
Whence all loves came.

Love's as fresh as spring,
Love is spring:
Bird-song in the air,
Cool smells in a wood,
Whispering "Dare! Dare!"
To sap, to blood,
Telling "Ease, safety, rest,
Are good; not best."

Love's as hard as nails,
Love is nails:
Blunt, thick, hammered through
The medial nerves of One
Who, having made us, knew
The thing He had done,
Seeing (what all that is)
Our cross, and His.
