Paper Faces

There is a prize for the first person to comment and tell me the name of the movie where this song came from. I challenge you to read the lyrics and see how they may match up with our lives. We often put on different faces; church face, school face, family face, friends face, and on and on. We do need to act properly in our settings, but how often do we (I as much as anyone else) completely change our personalities to match our setting.

Let’s be real….


Masquerade!

Masquerade!
Paper faces on parade . . .
Masquerade!
Hide your face,so the world will never find you!
Masquerade!
Every face a different shade . . .
Masquerade!
Look around -there's another mask behind you!
Flash of mauve . . .
Splash of puce . . .
Fool and king . . .
Ghoul and goose . . .
Green and black . . .
Queen and priest . . .
Trace of rouge . . .
Face of beast . . .
Faces . . .
Take your turn, take a ride on the merry-go-round . . .
in an inhuman race . . .
Eye of gold . . .
Thigh of blue . . .
True is false . . .
Who is who . . .?
Curl of lip . . .
Swirl of gown . . .
Ace of hearts . . .
Face of clown . . .
Faces . . .
Drink it in, drink it up,till you've drowned in the light . . .in the sound . . .
But who can name the face . . .?


Masquerade!
Grinning yellows,spinning reds . .
Masquerade!
Take your fill -let the spectacle astound you!
Masquerade!
Burning glances,turning heads . . .
Masquerade!
Stop and stare at the sea of smiles around you!
Masquerade!
Seething shadows breathing lies . . .
Masquerade!
You can fool any friend whoever knew you!
Masquerade!
Leering satyrs, peering eyes . . .
Masquerade!
Run and hide -but a face will still pursue you!

So that you know the words....

My Hometown:
Charlie Robison


Well, I had a buddy back in '81 and we made ourselves a pact
We were headin' for the new pipeline and we weren't never coming back
We worked 80 hours making time and a half but La Grange was *too hot
So we drove back home here at the end of the week and we spent it all on *stuff

Chorus:
So I'll see you in Houston if I ever get out that way
I'll see you in Dallas, but I won't have long to stay
If you're ever out west son, and you're feelin' like slowin' down
I'll see you around, 'round my hometown

Well, I played ball every single fall, I could run like the wind
I went to college like they asked me too, but they didn't ask my friends
I don't remember a single classroom but I drank alot of *coke
My buddies still love to listen to me when I talk about that year

Now I got myself a little band and we're pretty good I guess
But I never learned how to wear my hair and I never learned how to dress
So I'm leavin' for the last time honey, I'm no more to roam
Gunna pack my bags a little heavy this time, gunna head my *self back home

So I'll see you in Nashville if I ever get out that way
I'll see you in Austin but I won't have long to stay
If you're ever out west son, and you're feelin' like slowin' down
I'll see you around, 'round my hometown
I'll see you around, 'round my hometown

The taps

Well, I had another wonderful evening in my counseling practicum. It is so awesome to finally hear my call from the Lord and then He continually blesses me by affirming to me that I am going down the right road.

We talked some in my class time last night about how people in the counseling field (and in life in general) will tap you on the shoulder and tell you that you are not where you need to be and that you should be one way or the other in your convictions about counseling. This has happened to me A LOT since I have come to seminary. There are some people out there that will go so far as to say that I am not walking with the Lord because of the counseling that I want to do. These people tap me on the shoulder and tell me that I am in sin and will continue to walk in sin if I don’t listen to them. Well, the taps are getting harder and more frequent and they are making bruises. I feel attacked and beaten, but I am being obedient to what the Lord has called me to and I am to answer to Him only.

I know that this does not just happen in the counseling field, does this happen to any of you blog readers?

What is your ministry

Well, the first week of summer for me has started and it has been an interesting week to say the very least. I started my new job and I started practicum also. It feels really great to be able to have an 8-5 job! I hated working at night and on the weekends and so I am so blessed to be able to have this job. It is quite an adjustment working full-time though. I guess this is the real world, welcome to it! I am not complaining though.

I was having coffee with some friends last night that I had not seen in a while and like always, I got on a roll talking about the things that rub me the wrong way. I often feel that people see me differently because I am in seminary. I do feel that God has called me into the counseling ministry, in whatever form or fashion that may be, but what rubs me the wrong way is that some people who are not in vocational church ministry think that they are not in ministry at all. My view is that as Christians, we are all in ministry! No matter what vocation God has us in, we are His servants and His voice and His hands and His feet and His arms. So, my challenge to you is to look at the vocation God has placed you in and see it at as a ministry.

Blessings to you my faithful blog readers

Prom Dress Scandal

Here is an interesting story found on the website of Fox News. This is a boy who wore a dress to his prom. Obviously this kid wanted some attention and he got what he wanted. He was fined by the school for wearing the dress.

From the story, you gather that this boy is gay because he went to the prom with another boy. The school had no problem with letting the two boys go to the prom together but they did have a problem with one of the boys wearing a dress.

Here is what the boy said in defense of his prom dress, "I thought it would be more appropriate for there to be one person dressed like a girl and a person dressed like a guy, than for there to be two guys to go,". Humm, does this sound like he has an innate ability to discern from right and wrong and he sees that it is more appropriate for a guy and a girl to go to the prom together (i.e. date one another). Very interesting that he can decipher between the two situations but yet he is still living in that chosen lifestyle.

Hummm…..what do you think??

Ok, Emily, here is your update…..man I can never seem to keep on top of things so that you all don’t have to remind me to update.

I LOVE my new job. This organization stuff is right up my ally. I have been so busy the past two days that I really have left myself with little to do. I think maybe I became a little overzealous in my office duties.

Last night I started my counseling practicum. What a blessing to be a part of this amazing ministry. Even though this semester will only be an orientation for me, I have so much to learn. I am really excited to jump into this field that I believe God has given me a heart for.

I love being out here in Texas and God is truly blessing me through the many close friends that I have here, but I just want to give a shout out to all my peeps back in the southeast. My best friend Denae had a birthday yesterday and my dad’s birthday is Sunday, so I am thinking a lot about family these days. Even though I know that I am totally where God wants me to be, I still miss my friends terribly. So, to all of you that I don’t get to see very often, I love and miss you more than you will ever know.

Much love to you all….

I am so blessed

Well, I finally got permission to do this so……meet Chris! The past month has been a whirlwind but it has been amazing. Among final exams, papers, and a new job, God has blessed me with this wonderful man. I have had the most incredible time starting off on this new journey with Chris. He has gone above and beyond, such as, cooking dinner twice and taking me to THREE baseball games. Ladies, it doesn’t get much better than this! I can’t wait to see what God has in store for us.

I must go back to work now because I only get an hour for lunch. I hope you all have a wonderful day!

The best weekend ever!

YES! Final are over, thanks for reminding me T-bone. Now that this stress is over, I can finally return to my blogging, I know you all were so anxious for my next post. For better or worse, I am done with this semester of school. Wahoooo…..NO more Mitchell in the morning- good thing, no more Cameron and Austin in the SAME CLASS in OT- good thing, no more Mr. Rogers during what should be my nap time- not really a good thing, but I still get to sit at his feet and learn from him on Sundays- good thing!

I was so blessed last weekend that I was able to go to TWO baseball games, thank you SOOO MUCH!! So, I know you are all expecting pictures from my adventures to see the Rangers and the Bo Sox games, but finals took over my life and I couldn’t post the pics, but I am among the living again, so here ya go.

Below you will find a great picture of Ameriquest field during batting practice. The two following pictures are of fashion no no’s, and the picture after that is of some random guy.

Enjoy!

Ahh, isnt this nice!!

Sleevless shirts for men are never OK in public, it doesnt matter how big your guns are!!

I know the picture is a little blurry, but I am sure that you can see that this is a guy with a two-tone wig on. If you will notice, this guy is sitting by another guy because no woman in her right mind would go in public with someone wearing this wig. I mean come on!!

I am not really sure who this guy is, but Chris really wanted to take his picutre.
