Hold me...

some words have musicality that reaches your heart and mind and soul. Some have the power to stay.  

Years ago in college, I stumbled across a poem in an anthology. I don't remember the author or anthology or details around the poem. I am unsure of the author's actual subject or intent. 

For me, this poem is a prayer. An anthem. I don't even remember the exact title or versing. But, it's something I have repeated periodically over time. It reminds me of my Savior, Jesus Christ, and how I can reach out to Him for peace, comfort, and support amidst whatever is going on.

To whomever wrote it, I thank you.


Hold Me


Hold Me.

In this dark hour,

I am afraid of life.

I am afraid of


Everything 

But you.

Great poem - and so appropriate.

You will find Him holding you a great deal over the next week (+?)

Thank goodness for that solace. I hope you find it every day.

Today I found a new online party planning resource . Holiday, birthday, bridal shower, baby shower, weddings, etc. It helps you create invitations or ecards, is customizable, offers list management and guest list management, sends event/birthday reminders, manages potluck sign up lists, links to Twitter and Facebook, helps you decide on a date, links to your e-calendar, links to party planning supplies, manages a to-do list, offers party planning ideas, hints and tips, and is pretty much amazing. In addition, it is free. I'm hooked.

Puttin' on the Witch!

Tonight, the majority of my family met at Gardner Village for dinner at Archibald's and then planned to wander the Village. It's Witchapalooza and witching time at the Village. By the time we finished dinner, most of the shops were closing. We looked around a bit and snapped a few pictures. I'll post them another time. The witches and pumpkins and Halloween decor was frightfully fun, but I don't think I've had such poor customer service at a restaurant before. I wish I could say that the restaurant was packed. Maybe there were extenuating circumstances we weren't aware of. Maybe it was an off night for them. Maybe I'm just grouchy. Birthdays sometimes do that. Guess I'd better see the Witch Doctor or something to get it straightened out. The company was grand: mom and dad; Adam, Renee, AJ, and EL; Nathan, Bekah, RD, and AM, and me. Their service gave us a lot of time to sit and visit. RD and AJ were darling. Both were in very good moods. RD had on hi
