Science (non) Fiction

my day for posting - my meeting with my boss is on Wednesday, so Thursday is always a little less hectic than earlier in the week…
Had a great but busy weekend - went home to celebrate Mom’s birthday, which was fun and got to spend some time with Matthew (and his friend John) - we had a really good time, played a lot of games, went through a corn maze (if you haven’t done one, you need too, they’re fantastically fun!) and ate a lot of good food!
My week has also been crazy busy - volunteered Monday night (at Ronald McDonald Family Room in the hospital, which I’ve been doing for over a year and half), training for crisis-line sexual assault/domestic violence volunteering Tuesday and tonight (6-9 - ugh!), YAF last night (dinner for Mike’s B-day and then Maggie Moos) and home again this Friday night to see family again and maybe go to at least part of mom’s birthday party this Sat - whew! Plus I got to have some real quality talks with Matthew and that’s been awesome! Also got caught up with some friends I haven’t talked to/seen in a little while - coffee with Frances and our moms Sunday before I left Charlotte was great, and got to catch up with Alexa some by phone this week too (I’m praying!) - really good to chat…
I’ve been singing this song in my head for a while now - the words are great and work well even without the music - love Caedman’s Call!

“Shifting Sand”

Sometimes I believe all the lies
So I can do the things I should despise
And every day I am swayed
By whatever is on my mind

I hear it all depends on my faith
So I’m feeling precarious
The only problem I have
with these mysteries
Is they’re so mysterious

And like a consumer
I’ve been thinking
If I could just get a bit more
More than my 15 minutes of faith,
Then I’d be secure

My faith is like shifting sand
Changed by every wave
My faith is like shifting sand
So I stand on grace

I’ve begged you for some proof
For my Thomas eyes to see
A slithering staff, a leperous hand
And lions resting lazily

A glimpse of your back-side glory
And this soaked altar going ablaze
But you know I’ve seen so much
I explained it away

Waters rose as my doubts reigned
My sand-castle faith, it slipped away
Found myself standing on your grace
It’d been there all the time

My faith is like shifting sand
Changed by every wave
My faith is like
shifting sand
So I stand on grace
