Don't think for a minute that I always look that good, but it was my wedding day I was suppose to be a princess, right?

So have you heard the one about the blonde in an elevator?.... Well me neither, this was not a blonde and it really happened. I just hope i can make it sound as funny as she did.

So Erica got onto the elevator after class on the third floor. She hit the botton to go to the ground floor and the elevator doors just kept jerking open and shut. She was a little perplexed. She got out, looked up and down and all around, but nothing. I guess she thought maybe something could be down to make the elevator work properly. Then her teacher comes out and says is something wrong with the elevator? "I don't know, I keep pressing 3 and it won't go down." The teacher replys, 'You want to try hitting one?'

Oh man by this part in the story when Erica is telling it on herself I am just rolling laughing. Of coarse I don't expect that from you but man you should have heard her tell on herself.

This is a picture of my two favorite guys! Kelly and pluto our bassett hound. He is so big and so hard headed. He fits in the family quite well. This was taken at the keep austin wierd 5K, where I had every intention of running, but ended up walking with my friends instead. Yes, I was flappin my jaw.

This is my baby on our wedding day. I am walking up the aisle. I was saying to him, 'Baby don't cry, you're gonna make me cry.' He tried but we were both teary eyed most of the day.

Let Love Rule

It is more than a song. My intent with this blog is not to get a lot of detania followers, but rather to just get my thoughts out. Warning just because I think it tonight doesn't mean it is in stone. I am sorting thru, figuring stuff out, growing, thinking, journeying!

Now that the disclaimer is done here goes what is on the old noggin tonight.

Today I had a conversation with a friend about love. We actually talked a lot about different aspects of love throughout our whole 2 hour discussion-topic to topic. In one topic we talked about how loving means being vulnerable and another how loving the wrong person is dangerous. She didn't believe or maybe is still sorting it out for herself, that it is wise to put yourself in a position where you love someone who may never love GOd. I mean really love, not what passes for love. I mean the down in the dirt, put your heart out there, maybe you'll screw the whole thing up kind of love. It is dangerous. But wise...the wisdom of heaven is unlike man's wisdom.

It reminded me of two things. One is the Narnia story where the kid asked if Aslan (the Christ figure) was safe and the response was no he is not safe but he is good. It reminded me that it isn't safe to love, I mean really love, but it is good. Safe implies lack of failure and assured out come and that is just not so with loving people and being a person. The second was when Christ was alone with the woman at the well. Ahh very dangerous! What would people say or think. Plus she was lonely, vulnerable, 'easy', and very needy. Christ modeled what he expects our response to be= LOVE. Yes it was dangerous, maybe not so much for the son of God but the word does say he was tempted in all ways. I think that means we should live dangerously.

My conclution is that love is never wrong, always dangerous, never wrong. If we aren't living a little dangerously are we really living?
