“If My Heart Wasn’t Such A Jungle
Maybe You Wouldn’t Feel So All Alone,
If Your Heart Wasn’t Such An Ocean,
I Wouldn’t Sink… Like A Stone”


One of my favorite lyrics, from one of my favorite songs, by one of my favorite singer / songwriters…

I’ve been thinking a lot lately… Moreover, I’ve been thinking recently about how I’ve been thinking the last several years about my life…


I had the thought, that maybe its possible;


I’m not the Jungle, all the time… Maybe I’m the Ocean sometime…


I know that if we are way more than lucky in this world, we will have the Love, Courage and Patience to allow ourselves to sink … If the greatest hurts come from the Jungles, the greatest Love comes from the Oceans…

If I can convince myself that maybe I can be the Ocean, I won’t worry so much about the Jungle… Love Heals What Time Can’t… Sometimes growth and healing can take so long; once we get there we don’t give ourselves the credit that progress has actually happened…

I think sometimes I’ve held on so long… I find myself afraid to move on…

I catch myself thinking about praying, and praying about thinking, all the while, not knowing which I need to do more of...

I pray for the Ocean...

Fearless: Imagine Your Life Without Fear by Max Lucado... I believe its in pre order, but I say use your public library : )

This is going to be a sensational book... I'm sure I'll have much to talk about after reading...



From the author,
Each sunrise seems to bring fresh reasons for fear.
They're talking layoffs at work, slowdowns in the economy, flare-ups in the Middle East, turnovers at headquarters, downturns in the housing market, upswings in global warming. The plague of our day, terrorism, begins with the word terror. Fear, it seems, has taken up a hundred-year lease on the building next door and set up shop. Oversized and rude, fear herds us into a prison of unlocked doors. Wouldn't it be great to walk out?
Imagine your life, wholly untouched by angst. What if faith, not fear, was your default reaction to threats? If you could hover a fear magnet over your heart and extract every last shaving of dread, insecurity, or doubt, what would remain? Envision a day, just one day, where you could trust more and fear less.
Can you imagine your life without fear?

Wow...

I've read a couple of his books... I don't agree with every word he says... but, I've heard some really great buzz about this book, supposedly, it'll be not so "preachy"... we shall see...
