Well, in hindsight I probably should’ve also capitalized the “n” in “name.” No disrespect intended. Really glad it worked for you though, delighted! = )

Hello again! I went to work on some lyrics for a couple things I have coming up shortly & in the process of grabbing some paper to scribble the words down on, I ran across a poem I started working on around five years ago! OK, they probably come off more like lyrics, but… Well… I guess if you close one eye while reading them you may not notice any different = ) I did a little tweaking with what was there, and for those interested, here goes…

At The Feet Of His Name

So many paths that one could take
To be where Truth rests
So many choices one should make
To be where Kindness thrives

So many, so busy, missing the best part
Struggling to be something they ought not
With fingers absently touching the trim of His cloak
I patiently wait, listening at the feet of His name

A desire to be more than right
To be where Peace rests
A conversion into a genuine Light
To be where Love thrives

So many, so busy, missing the best part
Struggling to be something they ought not
With fingers absently touching the trim of His cloak
I patiently wait, listening at the feet of His name

delivered– Love to see some of your dad’s art!

meb– So nice to meet you guys face to face! And yeah, there’s a reason that’s our family motto…

jonny– I totally agree! That’s why I need a big red and blue sign right in my face reminding me I have another choice!

Tanya Sykes– Girl, you have a standing invitation to our house any dang time you can! Might be easier to get you here than it is to get *ALL* of us together at the same time– we’re not doing too well in that department, are we?!

jonny– Grab that flight, baby!

OK, if they if they made a zillion years ago impression on Tanya that she STILL remembers, I guess I just HAVE to grab the next flight out your way Tori and check them out myself first hand!! Oh, wait. I should probably wait for the volcanic ash to clear first = / Bummer!

Tori, I LOVE all of these, especially the “Cocktails ruint my happy home.” You are so fun and have a great sense of style!

People, I have seen the cabinet doors–a zillion years ago–it’s been SO long since Russ and Tori invited us over– *hint hint* They are AWESOME! Tori I’m so glad you got them back. When you guys moved to your new house I wondered, “hmm, wonder if she took her cabinet doors with her?” What can I say, they made and impression!

Some days it seems easier, more natural, maybe even more comfortable, just to go crazy.

I LOVE the Trust God or Go Crazy – it so fits where we are at in our lives right now.

Well, thaaaaaank yeeeeew! In the meantime, my dad was a terrific artist, got some of his stuff hanging on the walls at home, I’m gonna try to take a few pics & send it. Not quite a great w/ a camera phone as Madi are!!!

OK, I’ll totally show the doors! (I’m so easy.) But it will take me a few days to get them all photographed and labeled– there are a lot of them!

I love them and yes we would like to see the doors, please. We have a man associated with our church who is a Jamaican artist. I think you would like his art. Stuart has encouraged him and now some of his work is being used locally for the 2012 Olympics. His work is all words but each letter is in the form of an animal or other item. Sometimes they need explaining but are then really interesting.

I do!
One small piece, an angel with some text on it that I got at the Country Music Hall of Fame gift shop years ago… I do love him.

Do you have any Howard Finster? He’d be right up your alley.
