| You Are 50% Boyish and 50% Girlish |
You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch. Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes. You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them. You're just you. You don't try to be what people expect you to be. |

The Tale of Three Trees!!!
I found this story a long time ago, and was very touched... recently i showed it to jimmy, and he posted it... i really encourage anyone to read it... it's an awesome story, and shows with humility the things you can do when you believe...
Once upon a mountaintop, three little trees stood and dreamed of what they wanted to become when they grew up. The first little tree looked up at the stars twinkling like diamonds above him. "I want to be covered with gold and filled with precious stones. I will be the most beautiful treasure chest in the world!" The second little tree looked out at the small stream trickling by on its way to the ocean. "I want to be a strong sailing ship," he said. "I want to travel mighty waters and carry powerful kings. I will be the strongest ship in the world!" The third little tree looked down into the valley below where busy men and busy women worked in a busy town. "I don't want to leave this mountaintop at all," she said. "I want to grow so tall that when people stop to look at me they will raise their eyes to heaven and think of God. I will be the tallest tree in the world!"
Years passed. The rains came, the sun shone, and the little trees grew tall. One day three woodcutters climbed the mountain. The first woodcutter looked at the first tree and said, "This tree is beautiful. It is perfect for me." With a swoop of his shining axe, the first tree fell. "Now I shall be made into a beautiful chest," thought the first tree. "I shall hold wonderful treasure." The second woodcutter looked at the second tree and said, "This tree is strong. It is perfect for me." With a swoop of his shining axe, the second tree fell. "Now I shall sail mighty waters," thought the second tree. "I shall be a strong ship fit for kings!" The third tree felt her heart sink when the last woodcutter looked her way. She stood straight and tall and pointed bravely to heaven. But the woodcutter never even looked up. "Any kind of tree will do for me," he muttered. With a swoop of his shining axe, the third tree fell.
The first tree rejoiced when the woodcutter brought him to a carpenter's shop, but the busy carpenter was not thinking about treasure chests. Instead his work-worn hands fashioned the tree into a feed box for animals. The once beautiful tree was not covered with gold or filled with treasure. He was coated with sawdust and filled with hay for hungry farm animals. The second tree smiled when the woodcutter took him to a shipyard, but no mighty sailing ships were being made that day. Instead, the once-strong tree was hammered and sawed into a simple fishing boat. Too small and too weak to sail an ocean or even a river, he was taken to a little lake. Every day he brought in loads of dead, smelly fish. The third tree was confused when the woodcutter cut her into strong beams and left her in the lumberyard. "What happened?" the once tall tree wondered. "All I ever wanted to do was stay on the mountaintop and point to God."
Many, many days and nights passed. The three trees nearly forgot their dreams. But one night golden starlight poured over the first tree as a young woman placed her newborn baby in the feed box. "I wish I could make a cradle for him," her husband whispered. The mother squeezed his hand and smiled as the starlight shone on the smooth and sturdy wood. "This manger is beautiful," she said. And suddenly the first tree knew he was holding the greatest treasure in the world.
One evening a tired traveller and his friends crowded into the old fishing boat. The traveller fell asleep as the second tree quietly sailed out into the lake. Soon a thundering and thrashing storm arose. The little tree shuttered. He knew he did not have the strength to carry so many passengers safely through the wind and rain. The tired man awakened. He stood up, stretched out his hand, and said, "Peace." The storm stopped as quickly as it had begun. And suddenly the second tree knew he was carrying the King of heaven and earth.
One Friday morning, the third tree was startled when her beams were yanked from the forgotten woodpile. She flinched as she was carried through an angry, jeering crowd. She shuddered when soldiers nailed a man's hands to her. She felt ugly and harsh and cruel.
But on Sunday morning, when the sun rose and the earth trembled with joy beneath her, the third tree knew that God's love had changed everything. It had made the first tree beautiful. It had made the second tree strong. And every time people thought of the third tree, they would think of God.
That was better than being the tallest tree in the world.

Psalm 13
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1 How long, O LORD ? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts
and every day have sorrow in my heart?
How long will my enemy triumph over me?
3 Look on me and answer, O LORD my God.
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death;
4 my enemy will say, "I have overcome him,"
and my foes will rejoice when I fall.
5 But I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.
6 I will sing to the LORD,
for he has been good to me.
... lately me and a couple friends have been going through some difficulties... hard times that we did not understand... times i wish to take back... so i was searching the Bible, and found this verse... i have finally come to peace with my place in this story, and have found faith in God's strength... the giver of all good things... amen...

Still a chance that they will see

my poor kitty!!!!
our family had a little adventure on wednesday.... my brother found Oliver whining on the back porch, and got him inside... to find he wouldn't use one of his back legs... so he called me and we stabalized him overnight till we could see a vet... of course, our vet wasn't available.... so we went to hill N Dale.... their regular vet wasn't there either, so we had to go to their side vet... anyways... he had x-rays to find out that he had a clean fracture through his long bone in his back leg.... long story short...... immediate surgery, and 800$ later... man i love my parents.... anyways.... he's coming home tonight... please pray that it heals properly... no more gimpy animals.... love shannon

July 23, 2005
how is it that we got to be so lucky??? why is it us sinners that get this kind of luck... every once in a while, I sit back and reflect.... thanking God for these awesome people that i get to have as best friends... i don't deserve them, they probably don't deserve me... but that's probably the point... God gives us best friends on earth, to show us his reasoning... you don't have to deserve it, or be good enough for it...it's there... this friendship, theses friends that never waver... they aren't perfect (by a long shot...lol) but they love me, i love them, and that seems to be all that matters... i love that... i love going away, only to come back to these people that missed you so much.... i love being able to be totally raw, and that's okay... i love the grace they give... i just love them... to all my best buds, second mothers, crazy back up singers, and all the rest ... i love you guys to much to say... love shannon

Wind on the hill...
No one can tell me,
Nobody knows,
Where the wind comes from
Where the wind goes.
It's flying from somewhere
As fast as it can,
I couldn't keep up with it,
Not if I ran.
But if I stopped holding
The string of my kite,
It would blow with the wind
For a day and a night.
And then when I found it,
Wherever it blew,
I should know that the wind
Had been going there too.
So then I could tell them
Where the wind goes...
But where the wind comes from
Nobody knows.

My Ten Things!!!! well sorta ....
My 10 things!!! first of all, how can you pick just 10... that means i have to group all these wonderful things together... so here we are:
1) God: first and foremost, without him i could not enjoy everything else
2) family: for all the ways they hold me up, and show me how much i'm loved
3) friends: too many to count, and all the happier for it... from the one who knows my deepest, darkest secrets... to the ones who cry on my shoulder... you're to good to be true
4) my pets: yes they are annoying, yes they are needy, but i love them so much it's not funny
5) church: this wacky, crazy, extremely raw place of worship...
6) dreams: even though sometimes they are scary , and scary!!! lol... God uses them to show me insight into parts of my life, i couldn't otherwise understand
7) cooking: my first real talent, and passion...
8) poetry: the God-given ability to reflect my heart on paper
9) the tears that run down my fathers' face when he reads one of my poems for him
10) to the many things that got bumped in this list : to a baby's smile, to a crush, to the feeling of a newborn asleep in your arms, to the ability to help, to completion, to the goose bumps you get when hear something that has to be from God, to the pain in my stomach after i've laughed way too hard, to the inside joke, and to the people who remind me every day that i live a blessing... shannon

GOOD MORNING ALL,ENJOY THIS LITTLE JOKE ON ME!
A business man got on an elevator. When he entered, there was a
blonde already inside who greeted him with a bright,"T-G-I-F."
He smiled at her and replied,"S-H-I-T."
She looked puzzled, and repeated,"T-G-I-F," more slowly.
He again answered,"S-H-I-T."
The blonde was trying to keep it friendly, so, she smiled her
biggest smile and said as sweetly as possibly, "T-G-I-F."
The man smiled back to her and once again, "S-H-I-T."
The exasperated blonde finally decided to explain,"'T-G-I-F'
means Thank Goodness It's Friday.' Get it, duuhhh?"
The man answered, "'S-H-I-T' means Sorry, Honey, It's Thursday."

quote....
i have had this quote in my journal for some time now... i'd like to share, because it's usually how we feel before we let God take over...
Because we are all betrayers,
taking silver and eating body and blood ,and asking (guilty) "is it I"
and hearing him say " yes"
it would be all to simple for us to go out and hang ourselves
But if we find faith to cry and wait after the voice of morning has crowed in our ears,
clearly enough to break our hearts he will be there to ask us each again
"Do you love me"
