I was going through some of my old boxes this week and came across a few poems I'd like to post. I didn't write them, and I don't know who did. Some of them such as this first one, I've had since I was in high school.
TRUST
Trust is a strong word
A meaning broken into
This word is formed
Around one letter
This letter which is 'u'
For 'u' are the only one I live for
The only one I love
And if 'u' remain by my side
The 'u' becomes an 'us'
For 'us' means no other love
Only to me and you
And from this day forth
I promise 'us'
Forever I'll be 'tru'
Try to our relationship
In hopes it will never 'rust'
For you are the one
I give my love
My TRUST

Painfully Truthful
This was sent to me last night by one of my girlfriends, and it really made me think. I don't know who wrote this, like I said, it was sent to me. I do know that it's the truth, and I really beleive this is the problem in America today. I'm not in church every sunday and I don't read the bible every day. I do believe in GOD though. And I also believe that without him, our nation is sure to fall. That's why I posted this. I hope that it will reach many hearts and open many eyes.
Guess our national leaders didn't expect this, hmm? On Thursday, Darrell Scott, the father of Rachel Scott, a victim of the Columbine High School shootings in Littleton , Colorado , was invited to address the House Judiciary Committee's subcommittee. What he said to our national leaders during this special session of Congress was painfully truthful.
They were not prepared for what he was to say, nor was it received well. It needs to be heard by every parent, every teacher, every politician, every sociologist, every psychologist, and every so-called expert! These courageous words spoken by Darrell Scott are powerful, penetrating, and deeply personal. There is no doubt that God sent this man as a voice crying in the wilderness. The following is a portion of the transcript:
"Since the dawn of creation there has been both good & evil in the hearts of men and women. We all contain the seeds of kindness or the seeds of violence. The death of my wonderful daughter, Rachel Joy Scott, and the deaths of that heroic teacher, and the other eleven children who died must not be in vain. Their blood cries out for answers.
"The first recorded act of violence was when Cain slew his brother Abel out in the field. The villain was not the club he used.. Neither was it the NCA, the National Club Association. The true killer was Cain, and the reason for the murder could only be found in Cain's heart.
"In the days that followed the Columbine tragedy, I was amazed at how quickly fingers began to be pointed at groups such as the NRA. I am not a member of the NRA. I am not a hunter. I do not even own a gun. I am not here to represent or defend the NRA - because I don't believe that they are responsible for my daughter's death. Therefore I do not believe that they need to be defended. If I believed they had anything to do with Rachel's murder I would be their strongest opponent.
I am here today to declare that Columbine was not just a tragedy -- it was a spiritual event that should be forcing us to look at where the real blame lies! Much of the blame lies here in this room. Much of the blame lies behind the pointing fingers of the accusers themselves. I wrote a poem just four nights ago that expresses my feelings best.
Your laws ignore our deepest needs,
Your words are empty air.
You've stripped away our heritage,
You've outlawed simple prayer.
Now gunshots fill our classrooms,
And precious children die.
You seek for answers everywhere,
And ask the question "Why?"
You regulate restrictive laws,
Through legislative creed.
And yet you fail to understand,
That God is what we need!
" Men and women are three-part beings. We all consist of body, mind, and spirit. When we refuse to acknowledge a third part of our make-up, we create a void that allows evil, prejudice, and hatred to rush in and wreak havoc. Spiritual presences were present within our educational
systems for most of our nation's history. Many of our major colleges began as theological seminaries. This is a historical fact. What has happened to us as a nation? We have refused to honor God, and in so doing, we open the doors to hatred and violence. And when something as terrible as Columbine's tragedy occurs -- politicians immediately look for a scapegoat such as the NRA. They immediately seek to pass more restrictive laws that contribute to erode away our personal and private liberties. We do not need more restrictive laws. Eric and Dylan would not have been stopped by metal detectors. No amount of gun laws can stop someone who spends months planning this type of massacre. The real villain lies within our own hearts.
"As my son Craig lay under that table in the school library and saw his two friends murdered before his very eyes, he did not hesitate to pray in school. I defy any law or politician to deny him that right! I challenge every young person in America , and around the world, to realize that on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School prayer was brought back to our schools. Do not let the many prayers offered by those students be in vain. Dare to move into the new millennium with a sacred disregard for legislation that violates your God-given right to communicate with Him. To those of you who would point your finger at the NRA -- I give to you a sincere challenge. Dare to examine your
own heart before casting the first stone!
My daughter's death will not be in vain! The young people of this country will not allow that to happen!"
Do what the media did not - - let the nation hear this man's speech.. Please send this out to everyone you can. God Bless

Get a Life!!
Wtf? Seriously, did our news channels just run out of things to talk about or what? They spent over 5 minutes talking about our president at a burger joint. Who cares what he had on his burger or what side he had? My GOD people, leave the man alone so he can enjoy his dinner. That is the most rediculous peice of news I think I have ever watched in my entire life. Jeez, It's not even news. To top it off one news channel even ridiculed his choice for dinner. How lame is that. Do you want people hawking you while you eat? How about we send the cameras to your house during supper and narrarate every moment of your meal. Of course not. Nobody would. It's rude and completely inapprpriate.

Fun for a little while...
I made a complete BUTT out of myself last night. Granted, this is usually the way I learn my own life lessons. Some things you just have to find out the hard way - on your own.
My husband came home grumpy and of course it caused an argument between us. I left just to ride around and chill for a while when a girlfriend called and same thing with her. So I went and got her and we rode around for a while and talked and her sister called - same issue. Seriously? Did the guys in GA plan this shit or something?
We said screw it, grabbed some beer and took off to her sis's. It was fun, for a little while. I missed my husband and felt bad for leaving. My husband was the only one apologizing and trying to make things right. Theirs just made things worse for them. I couldn't believe what they were doing and saying to each other.
So to make a long story short, I realized that I really do have a good life with my husband and it really could be worse.
