Oops, you spilled your joy on me
Like party punch
Right down my formal front
And I almost started dancing
With the smell of that strawberry wine.
Friends, let's raise a glass
To the Lover of Our Souls!
I'm not one for getting drunk,
But I'll get drunk on this.
I'm not the best at dancing
But I'll dance all night for this.
I hope it spills all over town
I hope it runs into the rivers
I hope it swallows up the oceans
I hope we drown.

A close-up and imperfect look at everyday life as orchestrated by a holy, humorous, and hope-full God.

- I'm taking up writing again for the summer and as of August 2012 will be posting delightful tidbits from my upcoming study abroad in Kyrgyzstan with the School for Russian and Asian Studies.
Perhaps a picture is worth a thousand words, but I hope you'll still take time to let a thousand words paint a picture.
