You really should do it...cause it's a good thing to do and all and makes more sense than a cup of coffee.

"Before He Cheats"-Carrie Underwood

Right now he's probably slow dancing with a bleached-blond tramp,
and she's probably getting frisky...
right now, he's probably buying her some fruity little drink cause she can't shoot whiskey...

Right now, he's probably up behind her with a pool-stick, showing her how to shoot a combo...

And he don't know...

That I dug my key into the side of his pretty little suped up 4 wheel drive,
carved my name into his leather seat...
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights,
slashed a hole in all 4 tires...

And maybe next time he'll think before he cheats.

Right now, she's probably up singing some
white-trash version of Shania karoke..
Right now, she's probably saying "I'm drunk"
and he's a thinking that he's gonna lucky,
Right now, he's probably dabbing 3 dollars worth of that bathroom Polo...
And he don't know...

That I dug my key into the side of his pretty little suped up 4 wheel drive,
carved my name into his leather seat,
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights,
slashed a hole in all 4 tires...

And maybe next time he'll think before he cheats.

I might saved a little trouble for the next girl,
Cause the next time that he cheats...

Oh, you know it won't be on me!

Ohh... not on me...
Cause I dug my key into the side of his pretty little suped up 4 wheel drive,
carved my name into his leather seat...
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights,
slashed a hole in all 4 tires...

Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats.

Ohh.. Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats...

Ohh... before he cheats...

I haven't felt like this in so many moons
You know what I mean?
And we can build through this destruction
As we are standing on our feet
So since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
For you to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through

These reeling emotions they just keep me alive
They keep me in tune
Oh, look what I‘m holding here in my fire
This is for you
Am I too obvious to preach it
You're so hypnotic on my heart
So since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through


With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
For you to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
The words you say to me are unlike anything
That's ever been said
And what you do to me is unlike anything
That's ever been
Am I too obvious to preach it
You're so hypnotic on my heart
So since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
For you to stick around
I'll see you everyday
So since you want to be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
For you to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
You're gonna have to follow
Oh, this is the start of something good
Don't you agree?

I'm going to do a photo series soon. I've wanted to do it for a while now, but it looks like I might be able to do it as a major part of a final for my ethics class, which is awesome, plus gives the added motivation. There is a photo on here called "A part of all of us" and ever since taking and describing it I've wanted to take a whole series of shots that describes the parts of the world that are a part of us, whether we acknowledge or not, and I guess, in part why it's going to work for the ethics class, our responsibility...regardless of faith or background, but particularly anyone who calls themselves Christian since it's such a foundational part of Christ's message...ie the beatitudes...so we'll see how it comes out.

Plus, I am watching Alias season 4, finally, it just came out the 25th, and so I'm way excited about it. Anywho...
Till next time...

I am always going to be Books to her, and though she is now Leanne Lytle, she will always be Kick, lol. What a great wedding for two great people amidst the circumstances.

Kinda frustrated though because her photographer ran out of memory and so I took the reception shots and then he took her and I's shots on my camera and I hope they are not any indication of the others because all of her and I's shots were fuzzy and out of focus. Oh well...it's not like we don't have other pictures of us.

Hope you like the portrait I put up of her...it's one of my favorites from the wedding.

So the fall is in full swing, reading tons, writing about what I'm reading, and loving it all. This year is going to fly by for me, I just know it. Classes are 10 weeks here, so that means, with the second week done, I have 8 weeks left and am 20% done. WOW. insane. Anyway...Leanne, one of my best friends is getting married Saturday...the one from New Orleans...way excited...and my dress is freakin hot!! LOL. So now Nikki is married, Leanne is getting married, they are dropping like flies, lol.

Anywho...loving grad school...Pasadena rocks....way excited about life in general and looking forward to what next year brings.

I might actually walk June 10th here...if all I have left is a field ed practicum than I can walk. Which means I'll be done by Nov next year...everything...crazy. So looking forward to see how it plays out and if I get the classes I need. Til later.

So the summer quarter is over...I'm done my papers and reading something for fun....which is totally awesome. Dreaming in Black and White is the first one, then Dreaming in Technicolor....must read for the girls....hilarious!!!!

Anywho...hoping to take some more pics while I'm free before the next quarter starts on me.

Thats all for now.

My friend Leanne evacuated from New Orleans saturday when the voluntary announcement was made. All comunication is lost between anyone with a 504 area code number due to the massive damage. For update information on one community dealing with the effect see [link]

It may be long before many displaced may return to their cities to see the damage.

Pray that the city of New Orleans can repair it's water pumping system and the broken levee to help receeding water leave neighborhoods. Also pray for fair and dry weather as they do not need more moisture added to the mix. Thanks so much.

UPDATE:
From an email from Leanne about New Orleans right now:

"no supplies at this point...they're trying to evac EVERYONE from NOLA. Today FEMA had a convoy of 500 buses to take evacuees from the Superdome to the Astrodome in Houston. I know the Red Cross is asking strictly for money. There will be a need for food and a TON of building materials, but we're looking at AT LEAST a month before even getting back into the city. They're letting people into Jefferson parish on Monday, but only with proof of residency and only to get items from their homes and assess damage and then leave again for at least a month. The way I look at it, we need to just let the government handle the current state of emergency and pool our resources for when the federal gov't starts to back out. I'll ask Topher if there's anything we can do with supplies, but I'm thinking if you want to gather supplies, go ahead and do it with the intention of bringing them down later next year with a work team.

They've turned the airport into a hospital and there will be no incoming flights for the next 2 months (at least). As for service, I honestly don't think we'll be able to start scheduling service trips until November at the earliest...I don't know if the city will be stable enough for us to go back until then. Entergy is saying it will be 2 months before power gets restored. The levee broke, and the city is still filling up with water--there's up to 20 feet of water in a lot of places. Rebecca said her house and her parent's house is submerged...and that's in Metairie (which probably means rick and laura's house is under water too). School's have said the earliest they'll open up again will be December."

Thoughts on life recently

"I have a very strong feeling that the opposite of love is not hate -- it's apathy. It's not giving a damn."
--Leo Buscaglia American Expert on Love, Lecturer, Author

"I'm after love that lasts. Not more religion. I want you to know God, not go to more prayer meetings." Hosea 6:5... The Message

No perfect people allowed! That should be the requirement for entering into dialogue about the church and our fatal illness. Because if you think you are perfect, you are a part of the problem. An unwillingness to accept, acknowledge, and even reveal your vulnerability, your weakness, your sins, is a life lived behind a mask. The problem is, everyone can see the seems in the mask. Everyone can see it’s unraveled edges. Grab a hold of the loose string, and pull. Let the strings fall to the ground in a pile of beautiful, painful revealing. Only then can you, the real you, live life to the full, the kind of life you are called to, the kind of life filled with joy. No more fake happiness, but joy, even in the midst of pain.

Til next time....leave some love! ]]> ~BChick4Christ http://BChick4Christ.deviantart.com/journal/6152566/ http://BChick4Christ.deviantart.com/journal/6152566/ Sat, 06 Aug 2005 19:02:29 PDT

"I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me
And I enjoy an accolade like the rest
You could take my picture and hang it in a gallery
Of all the who's who and so-n-so's that used to be the best
At such 'n such...it wouldn't matter much

I won't lie, it feels alright to see your name in lights
We all need an "Atta boy" or "Atta girl"
But in the end I'd like to hang my hat on more besides
the temporary trappings of this world

I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love?
Did I point to you enough to make a mark on things?
I want to leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace who blessed Your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy

I don't have to look too far or too long awhile
To make a lengthy list of all that I enjoy
It's an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile
Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon destroy

Not well traveled, not well read, not well-to-do or well bred
Just want to hear instead, "Well done" good and faithful one"

I have some pictures from the drive across country that I will hopefully get developed this week. Some of the Arizona area including the Grand Canyon. That was an awesome site to say the least and I'm sure my camera did not do it justice. We'll see. That's all for now.
