a family of fools

Do I have enough compassion
Or have I sold out my Love
For the keeping of rules?

Am I so much in fashion
That I forgot I was born
To a family of fools?

God, hold me out of that water
Cause it’s such a shallow pool,
And the fall just might kill me

She was so pretty when she just walked by
It made me feel lonely
Lord, it just made me sigh

And when You’d rather wait, I’d rather fly
But I’m just now learning to walk
Oh, my my
Selah

And a lot of my friends seem to be
Runing around on the same fallow ground
Or is that me?

They don’t know
Cause I don’t show much at all
And when I fall, I fall alone
When I fall, I fall alone

So take my face in your hands
And tell me you love me
Tell me you love me

"such a shallow pool"
-Don Chaffer

I like that whole idea of being a fool. I love reading about David dancing in the street--being completely foolish.

Do i honestly seek after His love, or am i more concerned with keeping the rules? Am i willing to allow Him to strip me bare so that I am nothing more than a scantily clad fool dancing in the street? I haven't started that book on my sidebar by brennan manning yet. well...i read the preface, but nothing else yet. In his book "the ragamuffin gospel," he talks about a people of faith--- ragamuffins-- people who are completely broken, only seeking after God's acceptance and finding complete fulfillment from relying on God to shape us, direct us, love us and know us. being undignified...

Being in a family of fools.

I've found nothing that makes more sense than when i let go of my dignity and my self awareness. when i stop worrying about being in fashion

I complicate stuff a lot...maybe a little streaking wouldn't be a bad idea every now and then

...I'M KIDDING

I do think it's high time i started being a little more foolish though. i mean heck...we've got a Father, a Savior and a Friend with whom we will reside for eternity!

He's here right now...reading this dumb blog. yes...it's a dumb blog. And for some reason He'll read it. and He'll sit around my room with me while i avoid Him and type on my computer. why don't i rejoice in that like a fool more often? is the community i desire one in which we are a family of fools? have i become so stuck up? am i so much in fashion, that i forgot i was born to a family of fools?

i have no idea if any of that made sense...but it did to me. or maybe it didn't. and maybe that's good.

...wow i'm going to bed

have an awesome night guys
