Reasonable Resilience

why is it that when things seem to be going good it always seems to go bad, quick. Say a little prayer for our friend from church. He's in Erics youth group and he's got some issues to work through, so does his mom. He's taken some wrong paths, but always ends up back at church, which is a good thing. It kind of seems now like mom and step-dad have given up on him and want Eric to do the work that is really their responsibility and can only be handled by a parent. Granted, parents can ask for help, but don't shove the kid off at church and expect it to work itself out. Also pray for Eric, for the spirit to work through him and show this family how important their son is and how much he is loved. thanks

"twice as good" by Sara Groves when I am down and need to cry till morning I know just where I am going when I'm in need of sweet commiseration to speak out loud raise a glass to friendship and to knowing you don't have to go alone we'll raise our hearts to share each others burdens on this road every burden I have carried every joy it's understood life with you is half as hard and twice as good with my good news your dancing on the table babies born to celebration the joy of life oh what a sweet communion shared with you every burden I have carried every joy it's understood life with you is half as hard and twice as good I know we're growing older can you imagine what that will bring it's all a mystery to me now but this one thing will be half as hard, and twice as good

When The Rain Comes - Third Da... "When The Rain Comes" When the rain comes it seems that everyone has gone away When the night falls you wonder if you shouldn't find someplace To run and hide Escape the pain But hiding's such a lonely thing to do I can't stop the rain From falling down on you again I can't stop the rain But I will hold you 'til it goes away When the rain comes you blame it on the things that you have done When the storm fades you know that rain must fall on everyone Rest awhile it'll be alright No one loves you like I do When the rain comes I will hold you

When I was in 8th grade my dad allowed me to tag along as he went to run the lighting board for the show "Hair" that was playing at MCC. If you didn't know me in 8th grade let me tell you a little about me. I was tall, really tall . I was developed, as developed as my high schoool aged sister and I was mistaken as a teacher on more than one occasion. I wore keds when everyone else was wearing filas . I walked home from school everyday and watched General Hospital religiously. I was a nerd. A band geek. I had a crush on a boy named Chad and I didn't tell anyone because I didn't really have anyone to tell. The good thing is that I'm different now and older and much wiser. So, back to the story. I went with my dad to the college and for the first night I sat with him and watched what went on, on and off stage. I made my dad listen to the soundtrack to and from the college so I could memorize the songs. I sang along and I hung out backstage and passed out pape...
