I'm not unhappy, but I'd take the train today if You'd let me . . .

About Me

Once upon a time, there was a little girl born to missionary parents in the beautiful land of Japan. God pursued her tenderly for many years, and after many struggles, she came to love Him very much . . . tho not as much as she wanted to. She eventually went to a small institution of higher learning, where she still waits for God to tell her where He wants her to serve Him. In the mean time, she gets a huge kick out of the outdoors--walking, exploring, riding, kayaking, running around barefoot in thunderstorms. She's a bit of a loner and a bookworm, but loves being with people. She likes to talk, but likes to listen better. She is addicted to music, and is always singing or whistling or keeping a beat when not otherwise occupied. She loves to pray.For more details, get to know her in person. :)

Nice Guys--version 2

I'm not mocking the other "nice guy" bulletins, the romantic ones. But if that kind of nice guy deserves praise, surely this kind deserves even more. I wrote this as a bulletin, but I wanted to re-p...

head in the clouds

My castle in the airGraced by a fountain of dreamsIs a vari-colored fort of many forms,Always changing.Countless halls and nooks invite me to linger,And the clock on the mantle cannot be trusted to u...

frustrated

I appreciate it when people tell me things will be fine. But I don't want them to be FINE. I want them to be GREAT!
