Sometimes, I have all these random thoughts that I just can't narrow it down to just one topic to write about in a blog so, the following has no flow or rhyme and reason...just some thoughts I've pondered on recently.
Excited about my sister's wedding. I love weddings. I cry at them...judge the bridesmaids attire ;), love the cakes, the flowers, and most importantly the exchanging of vows. It's in that one moment when vows are exchanged that makes me fall in love with true love all over again, a promise to one another that to seek the best for each other is worth a sacrifice of self. In the vows...there is no.."Your job is to make me happy...buy me a yacht or win the lottery....you better put your own clothes away....look like you did when you were 20 for the rest of your life....serve me or else." In fact, it is just the opposite...vows that express a desire to give the other one love in the good and bad times...in the grey hair days, bald head days, and better than Donald Trump hair days. It's not about where the world has gone wrong with these vows....I'm not an expert in marriage...still trying to figure the whole thing out. I have no say in how people should live their lives as a married couple...whatever. I just simply like the vows exchanged at weddings that are truly an expression of what love is meant to be about. The way we preach day in and day out about how we want social justices in the world etc. Unconditional...dragged through the poop and swimming in the crystal clear oceans kind of love.
I love Abilene! I was driving down Buffalo Gap Rd. the other night in the rain. A rare time when there was no one on the road but me. I never thought I'd come back here and in fact it was never a goal to come back. I remember when I was young I told my Dad, "I can't wait to move to a big city and get out of this town." My Dad took offense and rightly so. Driving down the road that night I felt this huge burden lifted off of my shoulders that I'd been carrying around for awhile and didn't even realize it. It's where I need to be in this season of my life for sure.
Getting my hair done has been an experience in this town. I decided at the end of the day to try the local beauty school. The students need the practice and I guess I was brave and cheap. While my hair turned out fine....the last thing you ever want to hear while your hair is covered in gunk is, " Oh my God...I am so sorry." I turned pale but in the end...it was a very minor timing issue and not one that would have ruined my hair. Thank you Lord!!
People's political devotions and intolerances are getting on my nerves. I am not perfect and I know I have posted my share of different opinions but when people cannot tolerate each other's differences especially after they go on and on about their own...it just irks me. So, fine...say what you want about not preaching God whatever but then the next social media post or language has to do with political indoctrination. In my opinion...religion and politics hate each other because they are exactly alike.
Well, blogs aren't supposed to be novels so I'll save more of my thoughts for another day.
