I Am Jean Valjean!!!

Rented Les Miserables (with Liam Neeson) last night, because it changed my life in how I treat those who hurt me. My kids loved it!

She's Got a Way...by Billy Joel

She's got a way about her, I don't know what it is
But I know that I can't live without her.
She's got a way of pleasin', I don't know why it is
But there doesn't have to be a reason anywhere

She's got a smile that heals me, I don't know what it is
But I have to laugh when she reveals me.
She's got a way of talkin', I don't know why it is
But it lifts me up when we are walkin' anywhere

She comes to me when I'm feelin' down, Inspires me without a sound
She touches me and I get turned around.

She's got a way of showin', How I make her feel
And I find the strength to keep on goin', She's got a light around her
And ev'rywhere she goes a million, Dreams of love surround her ev'rewhere

She comes to me when I'm feelin' down, Inspires me without a sound
She touches me, I get turned around oh oh oh

She's got a smile that heals me, I don't know why it is
But I have to laugh when she reveals me.
She's got a way about her, I don't know what it is
But I know that I can't live without her any way

The Simple Love of Shyness

Henri Nouwen's devotion today is about shy people...and when I think of shyness, I consider my daughter. She has such depth, that others never see.

There is something beautiful about shyness, even though in our culture shyness is not considered a virtue. On the contrary, we are encouraged to be direct, look people straight in the eyes, tell them what is on our minds, and share our stories without a blush.

But this unflinching soul-baring, confessional attitude quickly becomes boring. It is like trees without shadows. Shy people have long shadows, where they keep much of their beauty hidden from intruders’ eyes. Shy people remind us of the mystery of life that cannot be simply explained or expressed. They invite us to reverent and respectful friendships and to a wordless being together in love.

Sugarland!

This is my newest fav country group! I saw them live at the 2011 Houston Rodeo and Livestock Show. Loved the energy, creativity, enthusiasm, and pure entertainment.

God Is...

His time is perfect, mine is flawed.
His will is perfect, mine is weak.
His power is perfect, mine is limited.
His love is perfect, mine is selfish.
His knowlege is perfect, mine is limited.
His presence is perfect, mine is egotistical.
His word is perfect, mine is situational.
He is perfect, I am not.

Albert Pujols

Albert Pujols has hit .300, with 30 home runs and 100 RBI in each of his first 10 seasons. That’s the longest streak for a player at any point in his career. Look at the names that are second and third: Lou Gehrig (9, 1929-37) and Babe Ruth (8, 1926-33). A decade of dominance!! Check out this link to his Family Foundation!

Best Starting Rotation...Ever?

The 1998 Braves starting rotation was Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, John Smoltz, Kevin Millwood and Denny Neagle. This year's Phillies pitchers are Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Roy Oswalt, Cole Hamels, and Joe Blanton rivals that staff and be better!

Valentines Day!

Tougher Than the Rest (1987) is easily my favorite love song by Springsteen! Check these lyrics...

Well It's Saturday night
you're all dressed up in blue
I been watching you awhile
maybe you been watching me too
So somebody ran out
left somebody's heart in a mess
Well if you're looking for love
honey I'm tougher than the rest

Some girls they want a handsome Dan
or some good-lookin' Joe on their arm
Some girls like a sweet-talkin' Romeo
Well 'round here baby
I learned you get what you can get
So if you're rough enough for love
honey I'm tougher than the rest

The road is dark
and it's a thin thin line
But I want you to know I'll walk it for you any time
Maybe your other boyfriends
couldn't pass the test
Well if you're rough and ready for love
honey I'm tougher than the rest

Well it ain't no secret
I've been around a time or two
Well I don't know baby maybe you've been around too
Well there's another dance
all you gotta do is say yes
And if you're rough and ready for love
honey I'm tougher than the rest
If you're rough enough for love
baby I'm tougher than the rest
