Prideful People|Broken People

Amy: You'd think we'd get out the worksheet before women's retreat and work really hard so that we could check off all the boxes. Ruth: Nothing like Spiritual Cramming! There, Shawn, is that enough context?

A Special Message from the Muskingum Girlz.

And now introducing "The Jesus Rap"
One day the Lord Jesus Was walkin’ with his homies. Their hair may have been tangled Because they had no combies. Then Jesus went up the hill Just like J-J-J-Jack and Jill. His homies started whinin’ “I want some fine dinin’!” Look at all the peeps- They’re pouring out the streets I have 2 loaves, 5 fishes, “Can this please your dinner wishes?” And then, J-J-J-Jesus Passed out the fish and bread And thousands, thousands, thousands, thousands Thousands then were fed. “Hey Jesus, didn’t we start with a few of each? But we have enough left over to feed Daytona Beach!” “Miracle in a nutshell Word to Yo Mutha Peace”
Words and Music by some Muskingum Girlz who were on my project to Roma.

I'm at it again

I'm taking a poll!! Please answer: If love is a battlefield, then shouldn't it be full of knights? (take that Shawn, mua ha ha) Kathy: it most definitely should Sarah: possibly... what kind of battlefield is it exactly? :-) Amy: The love kind Sarah: my opinion is that if love is a battlefield set in the Dark Ages, then yes, it should be full of knights! :-) Maggie: oh, it should be Shaina (from Diff. Eq.): I agree with the question Neal (from Diff. Eq): Maybe that's why people go on dates in the evening. Katie Jo: certainly makes sense that there should be knights on a battlefield Shawn (via away message): Yes, the battlefield SHOULD be full of knights. But any good strategist will tell you that in war, like football, it is best to dynamically deploy and recall units so that the army is best equipped for the engagement at hand and the recalled troops may be rearmed and have their wounds mended before they fight again. Your turn, my dear Antagonist… Amy: Ok, deer. That was so totally a run-on sentence. Pat: We are young. Heartache to heartache we stand. No promises, no demands. Love is a battlefield.
