I almost wrote a really depressing blog post. But of all people, Pastor Harris showed up on chat and said hi and completely got me off that track. Funny how God compels people who generally do not start the IM conversation to say hi to me when I'm brooding about stuff.

So I clicked off my blogger tab. But this song keeps going through my head, and I wanted to post it somewhere. It's too big to quote it all on my gmail status, so I'll put it here...


I made a habit of never making promises

That aren't easy to keep

And there you have it but now I'm making one

That is to keep you here with me



'Cause every second that goes by

I feel it's just a waste of time if I'm not with you



If home is where the heart is

Then my home is where you are

But it's getting, oh, so hard

To spend these days without my heart



So I'm taking you with me

Anywhere that I could ever want to be

For the rest of my life

I want you there with me



And if there ever comes a time

When I should have to leave

I hope you know

That I, I'm taking you with me



And so I'm trying to hold it all together

And make it through the day

When I'm just dying to drop it all and take your hand

So we can run away



From all the miles and the hours

That seem to endlessly devour

The time that I could be with you



If home is where the heart is

Then my home is where you are

But it's getting, oh, so hard

To spend these days without my heart



So I'm taking you with me

Anywhere that I could ever want to be

For the rest of my life

I want you there with me



And if there ever comes a time

When I should have to leave

I hope you know

That I, I'm taking you with me



Every second that goes by

Is one more second off my life

And it couldn't be more clear

I'm literally dying without you here



And every second that goes by

Is one more second off my life

And it couldn't be more clear

I'm dying without you here



Yeah, every second that goes by

Yeah, every second that goes by



So I'm taking you with me

Anywhere that I could ever want to be

For the rest of my life

I want you there with me



And if there ever comes a time

When I should have to leave

I hope you know

That I, I'm taking you with me

I miss you. I wish you'd come home and stay.
