some book somewhere... someone wise... some song sung another place... has suggested that MYSTERY is a key quality in relationships and relating. Mystery keeps things exciting BUT so does raw honesty.

how much of yourself do you think you should put out there without dispelling the mystery? how honest is too honest? this could pertain to dress, sharing personal experiences, revealing curiousity (asking gnawing questions.) tell mme what you think and convince me.

from coward me to someone I wish I could tell this to...

sometimes when I read your thoughts, when I hear you share your opinions and your honesty, it seems like you're conclusions run directly left and parallel to common sense. Sounds convincing, but mostly it makes me want to say "what the heck??" I see where you're coming from, how your reasonings flow, I've experienced the same extreme loneliness but its like you're playing a ballgame in the wrong field sometimes. I'm just being honest you know?

Forgive my venting and my drive to want to fix people. It's my sin. Rescuing, controlling, reacting, subduing, manipulating. its my addiction. I'll try to say what I mean and mean what I say from now on. I cannot cure peoples' emotional issues, although I can grieve at the symptoms of their sickness. I can trust harder and pray violently for the people who are just like me--praying that God will be merciful to bring a deeper healing than those people realize they are needing.

here is my little scratch paper. if someone chances to read this section, it'll be an interesting inside look:

some titles and subjects for possible future songs--
"interrupt"
"lay me bare"
Poor in spirit
"Still waters, sinking suns"
"Make believe"
"Rushing wind"
hide and seek
Themes of sacred romance

I was thinking about it and Lord willing I think I would like to record a worship Cd. just original songs themed on the stuff God has taught me, the convictions that he has made me passionate about. I don't want to be a "performer" but I want to inspire people! I want to go about it in a very casual way so that if it comes about, it will be very much God's doing and will be as simple and sincere as possible.

I've also been thinking of a book I'd like to write someday. something on human need and its place in a healthy christian life. I'd call it "I need" and I'd tell the story of the baby I sat for who would always say "I neeeeed."
