Far reaching smile.

How is it that no matter where you go, no matter how hard life is, children can smile and be truly beautiful? These pics were taken by Lori Cain from the Statesman Journal. These are children in a war zone...Kabul (where Wuf Dog is...we're so proud of your work Wuf!). I have one just like them that I took in Aceh after the Tsunami. They smile...they're beautiful. Life is good, even when it's bad. Life can still be good and a smile can still reach around the world to make someone's day. Your beautiful face made my day sweet big sister in the orange shirt! Your amazing eyes take my breath away little captain in blue.

If I could just hold you tonight.

I think that the love between Jesus and his people looks as different as one person looks from another. When he wants to express love to me, he sings...or at least sends me a song. I think most of my friends would find the songs he sings sacreligious. They wouldn't expect it from Him, I think. I think he plays the bass guitar too. They think that's a really wierd picture of Jesus, but I think it's funny and endearing! Our love song...Truly, Madly, Deeply by Savage Garden. He's different to me than He is to anyone else and he knows how to move my heart. I love that about Him.

Today is Good Friday. I celebrate the depth of his passion for me. The passion that moved him to die. If I could just see him...tonight...I'd walk a thousand miles.

Making my way downtown
Walking fast, faces pass and I'm Homebound
Staring blankly ahead, making my way
Just making a way through the crowd.

And I need you, And I miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by
Cuz you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight

It's always times like these
When I think of you
And I wonder if you ever think of me
Cuz everything's so wrong and I don't belong
Living in your precious memory

And I still need you, And I still miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass us by?
Cuz you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you...if I could just hold you
Tonight.
