Who really cares about poetry?

Posted by: Becca on: November 19, 2009

I cycle through depressive states regarding writing. Regarding the point of it. I always come back to this- the point of it is for me to cope. I know that. (but it doesn’t change my moodiness about the whole thing) It is, for as long as I remember, how I cope. The person I talk [...]

Have your way

Posted by: Becca on: August 21, 2009

As soon as I heard this song, the first lines, I felt that this was a prayer I’ve had as well. Bonus that her vocal delivery is beautiful, throaty, soulful.
Have Your Way Lyrics by Britt Nicole
Feels like I’ve been here forever,
Why can’t you just intervene?
Do you see the tears keep falling?
And I’m falling apart at [...]

Sermon Notes. Grass Roots Church. 8/2/09.

Posted by: Becca on: August 3, 2009

This is what I wrote down, word for word, during a sermon. That’s why it may or may not make sense. I just wanted it recorded, mainly for myself, (but also for anyone who likes to read my streams of consciousness…:) there’s some things I want to revisit.

Magnification, magnificence.
Clear eyes:
all the colors
and
movements
of light.

Vessel. Love Life, [...]

Adventures in Ministry (Are you freakin kidding me?)

Posted by: Becca on: July 31, 2009

Through various first hand sources, I have gathered entertaining information regarding the latest ministry efforts of two sister churches. Well, to be honest, they aren’t sister churches, they are a split off of one church, but they should be (could be!) sister churches, so I, because I can, will refer to them as such. I [...]

I’m drinking and feeling bitchy

Posted by: Becca on: July 22, 2009

I hate to sound bitchy or like I think I’m above others, but sometimes it really amazes me how dumb people are, in general, as a whole. Why? Why can I go through a whole day and feel like the smartest person I’ve encountered? To be perfectly honest, it’s tiring. Annoying. My family is tiring, [...]

Handwritten Letters

Posted by: Becca on: June 2, 2009

Why does it always feel like starting is the hard part? I guess that’s true for a lot of things. Anyways, what is it I’m wanting to say right now? Something about this music and wine and blackberry incense. I think, if we really look close enough at the things we surround ourselves with, we [...]

Would you like a song with your soap?

Posted by: Becca on: March 19, 2009

This was in “news of the weird” in Creative Loafing for this week (March 18-24)
“This adds an extra dimension people will appreciate.” said Hobart, Australia Mayor Rob Valentine in December, announcing that at the annual Taste Festival later that month, performance artists would entertain in the restrooms. According to Valentine, the performers would also supply [...]

He’s a little Amadeus and a little Mr. Holland

Posted by: Becca on: February 26, 2009

My high school chorus teacher just joined facebook and I think I have been more excited about that than I have about anyone else I have seen on there. Mr. Boyce is a key player in not only one of the significant parts of my life, but also in the significant parts of so many [...]

If you’re lost look for the signs

Posted by: Becca on: February 25, 2009

It’s been a good night. Enchilada casserole, cake batter and wine (for me) with Nat while watching Beethoven’s 5th…just nice…
but then I get overwhelmed, tired, there are a million things to do and I just want to sleep but then I’m afraid the things will never get done…I just have good, organized, productive times followed [...]

You spin my head round…

Posted by: Becca on: February 21, 2009

So, this with work are better. A little bit. I still don’t know how the hours will work out, but the position is still a professional one, so I feel better about that aspect.
This is why I always try to keep relationship things private, because more often than not, you end up back with the [...]
