About me: Writer, thinker, reader, pray-er, wait-er, fighter, boat rocker. Total NPR junkie. Mostly patient, generally gracious, but sometimes so so frustrated with the way this world is. Trying to act healthy. Trying to be free. Trying to resist all those nasty little faces that would box us all up. Eager for Christ to heal the sick. Eager for the sick to admit it. Hopeful so hopeful for all of us to live "life to the full." Totally opposed to liars, manipulators, ego-maniacs, etc. Totally supportive of the generosity, humility, and honesty that comes from free souls.
Who I'd like to meet: the ones with passion and depth and wailing of heart and that stubborn kind of hope that does not abandon
So heres the thing: I miss womans group last week because I slice my finger open and had to go hang out at the texas med clinic (more painful than the cut). And this week I got stuck at work. I think right now I need to learn how to say no and also to have you be my friend outside of monday. When can you hang out with me and soon?
