Well, due to a last mintue unusual circumstance of helping a friend of my wifes out (Hello Katie – if you read this) I’ve aquired a disease.
No not like THAT!
I’m slowly, but ever so surely, heading back into the twisted obsessive and yet incredible and amazing world of theater.
Off to be an actor again (although I always have considered myself one even when I wasn’t).
And I’m still editing my novel.
If I’d only play less playstation, I’d really get shit done!

Wilderness by Stuart Garrard of Delirious
We’re so nervous for your glory
Please guide our steps
We tread in awe and wonder
We can feel your holiness
We’re letting go of what’s gone before
And look to what’s ahead
But we don’t go out in haste O Lord
We want to be your friends
Lord lead us through the wilderness
We trust that you’ll provide
Be our cloud by day and our fire by night
And when we reach the other side
We’ll look back and all we’ll see
Is your goodness
It really feels so different now
The air is clear, our hearts are right
Come and walk among us now
So we can breathe the breath of life
We know the truth and it has set us free
We hear your voice and recognise your words
And in your book we read of how it can be
So we’ll tell others how you paid the price

I am a woven piece of cloth
I am connected with other cloth
But I am fucked
FUCKED
I’ve been torn away
I am frayed
And I fear
I fear that I will continue to fray until there is nothing left
Working from the outward to the innermost part of my soul
But I can fake it
I pretend I am woven tight
But look close
Look close at me
Look into my soul
And you’ll see it
You’ll see the frayed edges
Slowly
Ever so slowly giving away
Strands of thread that had been sealed tight, at home
Now homeless
I am being torn apart and I don’t know when it will stop
Can Jesus stop it and weave me new now?
or…
OR…
(I wait)
OR!
Am I too stubborn
Or is it some cosmic plan for him defray me?
COMPLETELY
From a woven cloth to a jumbled knotted mess of string
Unrepairable
Unable to untangle
Where God can weave me anew
New thread
New purpose
New life
Is there too much of my past that is so tangled I cannot be repaired
That I cannot be healed….
ONLY RESSURECTED
Where death is my only option?
I fear
I am afraid
I am alone
Look into my fuckin’ soul and see the frays
Then pray for me
Pray I don’t stay unraveled
I STILL BELIEVE
