I realized I've neglected my blog for more than two weeks. Sorry! I still haven't caught up on Lost...I feel I have this reoccurring bad habit of missing Lost for a few weeks then catching up on 3+ episodes all at once. :( So I promise that I will catch up! But while we're on the subject of Lost Sarah had a great thought and I'm inclined to believe it.
you know how the smoke monster is in locke's body right now? did he used to be in jack's dad's body? because his dad died, but he was alive on the island. and if i remember right, him and claire were together at the end of last season, weren't they? but now jack's dad is m.i.a. and claire and "locke" are bffs...Yup, I definitely agree with that.
So moving on, while at Target the other day, I got a new OPI nail polish! It's called Italian Love Affair. Caity and I were twins on Sunday, in some pretty scary ways, not gonna lie! haha. :) My hand is on the left, her's (obviously) on the right. I'm excited for when I'm tan...it will look much better on me then! (It's ALOT brighter than it looks in this picture). The color looks like one of my favorite OPI colors Aphrodite's Pink Nightie, which I still haven't purchased. But I intend to in the future.

With Pop scheduled to head to the giant sandbox, I recently dropped out of our Praise Team. Let me tell you, it is a weird experience!

We're addictive creatures. We try things, we experiment, we explore, and certain things hook us. They get their tentacles in us, and we can't get away from them.

If you're God and you want to express ultimate love to your creation, if you want to move towards them in a definitive way, you have a problem, because just showing up overwhelms people. You wouldn't come as you are. You won't come in strength. You wouldn't come in your pure, raw essence. You'd scare everybody away....So how would you express your love in an ultimate way?...You would need to strip yourself of all the trappings that come with ultimate power and authority. That's how love works...This is the story of the Bible. This is the story of Jesus.------------------------------------------------------
It takes spine to turn the other cheek. It takes phenomenal fortitude to love your enemy. It takes firm resolve to pray for those who persecute you.------------------------------------------------------
