unlikely friendships

The world is filled with unlikely friendships.  How do they begin? With one person desperately in need. And another willing to lend a helping hand. When such kindness is offered, we are finally able to see the worth of those we have previously written off. And before we know it, a bond has formed.Regardless of whether others can understand it.  Yes, unlikely friendships start up everyday.  No one understands this more then the lonely. In fact, it's what they count on.

The world is filled with unlikely friendships. Odd pairings that to the casual observer make absolutely no sense at all. But if you look closer, we can see why these alliances form. After all, a shared purpose can give even mortal enemies common ground.

i'm holding on

I'm falling apart, i'm barely breathing with a broken heart that's still beating. In the pain, is is there healing. In your name I find meaning so i'm holding on , i'm holding on...i'm holding on.... I"m barely holding on to you

show me you're willing to fight

Lead me with strong hands
Stand up when I can't
Don't leave me hungry for love
Chasing dreams, but what about us?

Show me you're willing to fight
That I'm still the love of your life
I know we call this our home
But I still feel alone

So Father, give me the strength to be everything i'm called to be

marriage...Do you have what it takes?

Even good marriages fail. One minute you're standing on solid ground, the next minute- you're not. And there're always two versions. Yours, and theirs. The both versions start the same way though. The both start with two people falling in love. You think yours is the one that's gonna make it. So it always comes as a shock. The moment you realize it's over. One minute you're standing on solid ground, the next minute, you're not.


Do you have what it takes? If your marriage is in trouble, can you weather the storm? When the ground gives way and your world collapses, maybe you just need to have faith. And trust that you can survive this together. Maybe you just need to hold on tight. And no matter what, don't let go.

change the rules, cheat a little

A good basketball game can have us all on the edge of our seats. Games are all about the glory, pain and the play by play. And then there are the more solitary games. The games we play all by ourselves. The social games, the mind games. We use them to pass the time to make life more interesting... to distract us from what's really going on. There are those of us who love to play games, any games. And there are those of us who love to play a little too much.


Life is not a spectator sport. Win, lose, or draw, the game is on. So go ahead... argue with the ref, change the rules, cheat a little, take a break and tend to your wounds. But play. Play. Play hard, play fast... play loose and free. Play as if there's no tomorrow. Okay, so it's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game... right?

Shhh i'm sleeping

"shhhh" she said, "i'm sleeping"
Just like that from a hundred miles an hour to asleep in a nanosecond. I wanted so badly to lie down next to her on the couch to wrap my arms around her and sleep. Not fuck, like in those movies. Not even have sex. Just sleep together, in the most innocent sense of the phrase. But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So i walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane.

Moments of dread

No matter who we are, we all experience moments of dread. When we ask ourselves: Will anyone believe I'm innocent? Will my daughter be a child of divorce? Will this man break my heart? Are there things that go bump in the night? And sometimes, the answer is yes.

No matter how secure we are, we all experience moments of dread. It may be just before we open our credit card bill or hand over a note to our teacher or step on the scale after a week away from the gym. Yes, we all experience moments of dread. And sometimes, we have no one to blame but ourselves.

make believe

Everyone enjoys a game of make-believe now and then. Of course, the ways we can play can vary greatly. Some tell ourselves that work won't interfere with our family life  Sometimes, we imagine relationships as more meaningful then they actually are. . Occasionally, we put on a show, as if to tell ourselves our secrets aren't really that terrible. Yes, the game of make-believe is a simple one. You start by lying to yourself, and if you get others to believe you, you win. 

sense of SEcurity

A sense of security, it's something we all search for whether it's knowing you're desired, taking control of our fears, or finding strength to do the right thing. But, the danger of a sense of security is that it may prove to be false.

Sometimes it's the little things that make us feel secure, like an old friend at bedtime, money saved for a rainy day, or matching coffee mugs. But, there are times when these small comforts are up against big challenges.
