A basic conversation between Jesus and myself

Me: "Jesus, is that you?"

Jesus:

Me: "Why do I not have the surprised feelings?"

Jesus:

Me: "Do you have a friend, that you like, f'n hate?"

Jesus:

Me: "You know, one that's essentially an oxygen thief?"

Jesus:

Me: "I don't know what to do, or why this friend is the way they are."

Jesus: "Because they're mere man. If they were a mere cat, better vantage point."

Me: "This forgiveness thing, man. It's not easy."

Jesus: "It's a game, A GAME!"

Me: "Stupid Ashley C. I mean seriously, who throws a shoe? Maybe I could inspire some hatred and antipathy towards people that are slightly different?"

Jesus: "UNFORGIVENESS IS VERY REAAALLL! AND VERY DANGERRROUS! OFTEN destroying those who practice it. OFTEN!"

Me: "Good truth."

Jesus: "YOU don't know!"

To all of my girls

Set Apart This Dream
by Flyleaf

Close your eyes little girl
You’re a princess now
You own this world
Twirling in your twirly dress
You’re the loveliest far above the rest

You build your castles in the skies
Stars reflecting off your eyes
And angels sing on silver clouds
And no one cries screams or shouts

Oh set apart this dream
Oh set apart this dream for me
Set apart this dream for me

Close your eyes pretty girl
'Cause its easier when you brace yourself
Set your thoughts on a world far off
Where we only cry from joy

Oh set apart this dream
Oh set apart this dream for me
Set apart this dream for me

Oh lovely and beautiful
Precious and priceless
You’re so much more than you know
Heart of the purest gold
Pure clean and white snow
Clothed in such splendor
Oh what a beauty for me

Oh set apart this dream
Oh set apart this dream for me
Set apart this dream for me

You didn't come this far just to be plundered here
Tie up the ropes in pure strength
Sleep in this haven, the King holds your favor
With love much greater than you dreamed
