I woke up hearing this song playing in our bathroom.
It got my attention - I don’t even know why…
…and then, when I went to YouTube to watch ole Faith sing it as only she can, I noticed her glancing at the monitors……probably a teleprompter of the words.
I recognized it because I’ve done it a million times - even when I’m singing a song I know like the back of my hand - still….
….sometimes I glance down - like I’m looking for something more than just words - like I’m searching for a friendly face or something to reassure me.
But, of course, then the lights do go down -and I make my way back to my seat.
Sometimes it feels too soon.
Other times it’s a relief.
I know there’s a difference (and way more than one, mind you) between Faith and me -
She sings...wow, does she ever sing!
I worship.
So, when the lights go down, I’m okay with being on the other side - in the darkness. I’m okay with being left to my own thoughts…..my own worship - with no one critiquing my performance or thinking “who let her go out of the house like that!!??”
Some say it’s lonely there, after the lights. I think it can be way lonelier when you’re being blinded by their harshness (may be why I close my eyes so much). It’s softer and cooler on the other side of the lights.
So, let them go on down…….
Peace.
(lame title, I know…)
Anyway…
So, we’ve had an interesting time trying to see the sights in this beautiful area…well, we really did try…
But, so far, we’ve spent a whole lot of time in the car!
It’s all good, though, I guess….since we’ve always got each other…….and lots of Pepto Bismal!
Peace.
….so, some of you know that I have said I want to be the Mayor of Kissimmee, Florida - where I grew up. I wept when I saw that they had torn down the old movie theater…although I understand it was terribly damaged during a storm. And I ranted and raved over the building of highrise townhomes in place of said beloved movie theater…..
Anyway,….
This is what Byron dreamed last night:
- I had become the mayor of Kissimmee - and lived in the “White House” on an abandoned lot (that used to have an old dilapidated house on it - always scared me as a child!) - I was quoted to say, “This lot looks atrocious!” in the paper…
- I fixed up the lot - with a beautiful lake and ZEBRAS RUNNING AROUND EVERYWHERE!
- I rode around in a pink limousine!
- I tore down all the new buildings and brought back the old ones….much to the chagrin of the developers!
- I built an old fashioned ice cream parlor……..that only served one flavor: RUM RAISIN!
- I rode in the “Kissmmee Day Parade” (my invention) on a zebra with a pink saddle - with shiny silver spurs (that I insisted were only for show so they wouldn’t hurt the zebra) on turquoise cowboy boots!
- I gave the people back their town…..(whatever that means)
- All the downtrodden and less fortunate people LOVED me…….and all the powerful people HATED me.
- The security detail had to get help from the Secret Service - they said to Byron, “Your wife is going to “transition” this town just like you transitioned the church - and the people who ‘run this town’ are ticked!!”
- ….so we had to have lots of security. (so what’s new?)
I told Byron, “Ew…it sounds like I was a DIVA!”….and he just said, “Yeah………but a nice one!”
Then I woke up this morning, and read on FACEBOOK that there’s a meeting tonight to save the cattle ranch near where I grew up!!…..spooky……
Maybe I’ll go and it will be the beginning of a beautiful “relationship”…..
…..Washington, watch out!!
Peace
