365 Snap Shots of Life: Day 93

Expect the Unexpected from Me!

One of my daughters just turned 16 this week-end and to celebrate her day we had a costume party. I am one who doesn’t like to be put in a box. Weeks before her party we were brain storming for costume ideas. Eventually everybody decided on theirs and I still hadn’t quite decided who to dress up as. Then one night my son suggested I dress up as Slash since I already have hair like his. I laughed out loud at the outlandish suggestion and then I said to myself, ‘Why not??’ So that’s what I did and I had a blast. Saturday as I got ready for the party I was glad to have the chance to not wear any make up , wear my hair in its natural state-I didn’t use any of the hair products I normally do to relax hair as curly as mine and look as unattractive as possible. THAT, was so freeing and I dare say I enjoyed hiding behind the big hair and dark sunglasses. I also went as far as wearing fake tattoos only to find out that you really don’t need to get real ones when fake ones don’t come off too easily πŸ™‚

So this week I dare you to do something so totally unexpected that you catch yourself by surprise..try it, it’s liberating!

 

365 Snap Shots of Life: Day 84

Phil Keaggy Lyrics

“Β Only You (can Wash My Sins Away)Β ”

Why in the world did I run and hide
From the Son of Man to shelter in my foolish pride?
The way, the truth, the life, the sacrifice,
As for me it’s sweet surrender to my Lord Jesus Christ.

Let the thunder crash and the lightning strike,
And the sky cave in today,
Only You can wash my sins away.
Let the thunder crash and the lightning strike,
I’m down on my knees to pray,
Only You can wash my sins away.

See my face in the mirror, my blood runs hot and cold.
Like whisper speaking thunder into my very soul.
The faintest spark could strike and burst in to the flame.
I know You’ll be that fire in me when I hear You call my name.

Let the thunder crash and the lightning strike,
And the sky cave in today,
Only You can wash my sins away.
Let the thunder crash and the lightning strike,
I’m down on my knees to pray,
Only You can wash my sins away.

Maybe a change of heart and mind
Could make me begin to read between the lines,
That fairy tales with happy endings
Were just once upon a time.

Let the thunder crash and the lightning strike,
And the sky cave in today,
Only You can wash my sins away.
Let the thunder crash and the lightning strike,
I’m down on my knees to pray,
Only You can wash my sins away.

β€œA baby is God’s opinion that life should go on. A book that does nothing to you is dead. A baby, whether it does anything to you, represents life. If a bad fire should break out in this house and I had my choice of saving the library or the babies, I would save what is alive. Never will a time come when the most marvelous recent invention is as marvelous as a newborn baby. The finest of our precision watches, the most super-colossal of our supercargo plants, don’t compare with a newborn baby in the number and ingenuity of coils and springs, in the flow and change of chemical solutions, in timing devices and interrelated parts that are irreplaceable. A baby is very modern. Yet it is also the oldest of the ancients. A baby doesn’t know he is a hoary and venerable antique β€” but he is. Before…
