May God bless you with discomfort
at easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships
so that you may live deep within your heart.
May God bless you with anger
at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people,
so that you may work for justice, freedom and peace.
May God bless you with tears
to shed for those who suffer pain, rejection, hunger and war,
so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and
to turn their pain into joy.
And may God bless you with enough foolishness
to believe that you can make a difference in the world,
so that you can do what others claim cannot be done
to bring justice and kindness to all our children and the poor.
Amen.
[A Franciscan Benediction]
currently:
1) i'm a mess.
2) i deal with it every day. some days better than others.
3) when you've mistrusted for so long, trusting again isn't easy.
4) confusion can be a catalyst. also, a BIG part of life. you live & learn,
5) is this the part where you want to hear me say something about God? well here it is:
following His will is a lot harder than following my own
#1. Your bad things will turn out for good. #2. Your good things can never be taken away from you and #3. Your best things are yet to come!

In a weird way, i'm thankful for being thankful...it's a good feeling and definitely a feeling i lack a lot of the time. So i'm going to share my "thankful for..." list & encourage others to do the same as wOctober 21, 700 words. → Make first comment?

Dear Bologna, Today i ate lunch alone. And survived. I did not think it could be done, but it can and i'm still here, with a full stomach anyway. Funny thing, as i went to sit at my booth to eat i heard The Eagle's song "Take It Easy" come on. Had to smile. Ironic memory it was. I never knew a smile could hurt.

Dear Bologna, Today i realized how beautiful nature was. and then i hit it. a deer that is. i also learned to value the art of a child's hug. nothing else can be as wonderful as that feeling. also, grandparents are wise & time is short. so try to tell them how much they mean to you while we're still here on earth.October 19, 100 words. → 1 comment, Add one?
