I will be the first person to say that we need to have faith in our government. I solely believe that a country will crumble if we don't believe in our government, but I learned something in class today that infuriated me. All of you probably already know this, but since I have only recently come home from my Ireland cloud this year, I don't really know prior American news, especially if it happened anytime during the 21st century. When Katrina hit all of our governments, being Federal, State and Local, argued about jurisdiction. The bad thing was all this was going on while people died. PEOPLE WERE DYING, AND ALL OUR COUNTRY CARED ABOUT WAS JURISDICTION!! Where do we live? This is the country of the free and the brave! This is the country that people have died defending and others have died for loyalty to our government in wars that should have never been started. Something was also said about how some of the responsibility of the clean-up belonged to churches and vol...
As I began writing for this blog, I realized I do not write coherently. It seems my imaginary ADD as infiltrated my writing. I guess I am writing this to tell all of you a little bit of who I am. I am not the best writer. I have friends who will always write better than me and I am ok with that. Two in particular have inspired me to write more. Jon showed me just how important stories are and how God can be found in the ordinary. He has taught me to look beyond what is right in front of me and to look so much farther than my own eyes can see. He shares a love of Lewis with me and in that has helped me find what I value the most in my life. Katie, on the other hand, has opened my eyes into the world of the imagination. She has taught me to look into the deepest inner most parts of my soul to find my own world there. She helps me sift through the person that I am (and Jon helps with that as well). I adore and cherish these friends. Without them my life would be a little le...
So I revamped the page. After I realized I know absolutely nothing about myself. I wanted to think of myself as an iceberg. I have so much underneath the surface that no one ever sees, not even myself. I have cracks and flaws...ships have run into me. I have pieces missing...from the parts I have lost. I am harsh and cold to touch. I will leave you with a burn. Some venture close but few can handle it. I have hurt many through the guarding of ice around me. I am a mass of coldness just waiting in the still quite water. A mask of tranquility for the quite beast from underneath. Icebergs do not have dreams. They do not think of fairy tales and green fields. In fact, they do not think at all. They are a mindless slab of ice. I do not have dreams. I do not think of fairy tales and green fields. When I think, I am wrong. And this is the abysmal part of me, the evil that lurks beneath the surface. Like a glacier I have drifted away from the one I love.
