This year...meaning Last year but this year then

What we've found
Where we've been
We found in each other
What we've wanted within

A light in the soul
A fire that burns
We discovered a wisdom
In each other we learned

Our laughter became our medicine
Heals our tired hearts
Our tears let down our shields
Where our trust began to start

Time became our enemy
A fight we could never win
For time slows for no one
Neither pure nor full of sin

No friend is ever let go
When their hearts are forever here
You can feel love continue to grow
With the memory of this year.

Listen I don't know much. I've met people I thought I could never lived without, til I found that they wanted to live without me. We threw around the term 'friends forever' because we really thought we would be. What we knew, what we've been through up til then felt like we could take on the world. The world took us on, and forever came too soon. When a friendship so strong could break so easily, I figured nothing else would last either. Til I met people who never promised forever, just reassured right now. And I found out, that when I forgot about the future, the present seemed more sweet. Living in the moments made the feeling of true friendship last forever.

Reaching out to youth

Today in theology class we were given a servey that asked us a number of personal questions one of them being, “Will you ever get married, why or why not?” To which I answered something along the lines of “If I find the right person” (but that’s more then you ever wanted to know about me). This was followed by, “Do you want to have kids, why or why not?”

Now, my answer to this question is yes, given I find the right person, and so forth. Again, that’s more then you care to know about me. What I struggled with was the why or why not part. I really don’t know why I would like to have kids.

It seems that it’s just natural for most people to want children. Then again there are a lot of people who don’t want to have kids. The decision is usually left up to the individual without any mental manipulation in play.

I know that we have plenty of babies in the world but there are some babies that I’ve talked to who feel that it would be good to increase their membership. Organized babies, up until now, have left enrollment up to chance. I mean, there has never been a “get out the birth” campaign, so to speak.

However, organized babies came to me recently and asked me to help them with an ad campaign and slogan that might help out baby popularity world wide. Being the acclaimed public relations guru I am, I couldn’t turn down such a challenge.

After much brain storming, I think I finally have something for babies that is going to send their numbers through the roof, and I want to share a sampling with both of our readers. So here it is.




I guess I'll keep working on it.
