Lives will be poetry.

I found your blog. Well stumbled upon it really. And it’s my own little secret. You think no one knows it exists. You think you are so coy with your pen name, which really, is your first initial, and middle name. 

You wrote about forgiveness. And you wrote out being godly. You wrote about romance, and you wrote about love. 

Yet, you would never be caught dead speaking these things. 

Your writing is the most beautiful thing about you. But how you present yourself and your words to those in your life is not the same. It’s like you have two different facades. I say this because neither person really suits you.

I thought about you today. Strangely enough, before I ever even stumbled upon your blog. 

I prayed for you. That someday you would see how much you hurt me, and how much your forgiveness and acceptance meant to me. How much just being civil would have meant. But I was “the villain” and I was “in the wrong.” Maybe someday you will see how fantastic our minds could have been together. Our friendship could have lasted a lifetime. 

I still have this hope, that you will someday be enlightend and I will find a letter in my mailbox when I’m 40, and we will read Bukowski together, and discuss Dead Poet’s Society, all over cups of coffee and forgiveness will reign and our lives will be poetry.

death in the air
suffocates all young hope 
of warm summer nights 

and small town sorrow reminds us
to keep those you love close to you even
when life moves too fast.

Both of these events are terrible and tragic.

These events have left many family members and friends mourning the loss of two very young lives. As someone who was not close, but knew these guys, and their families, what is my response as a Christian, how am I supposed to appear those that are not saved? What is appropriate for me to do?  People are watching, I am aware of this. But the answer of “It is all in the Lord’s plan” seems far too simple, and does not answer any questions for those that do not believe in God. Is there any comfort when you don’t believe in a God that someone is trying to tell you is good and loving? Will God comfort those that don’t believe in Him?  I would like to think that God comforts everyone when tragedy hits.

This afternoon I found out that a guy I went to high school with crashed his car over the weekend and didn’t survive. While we weren’t “friends” I did attend a very small high school, where everyone knew everyone. 

As I’m reading the paper today, I find out a woman who had been my teacher in 10th grade, allegedly embezzled almost a 100g from the  teacher union of the school. 

I go on facebook tonight, and see a guy I graduated with, the Vice-President of our senior class, and was in countless honors classes with me throughout high school. Apparently early this morning he was speeding around a curve, lost control, and is now on life support.

These are all tragic events, people that were at one time, in my life every single day. And now their lives and their family’s lives are changed dramatically. 

I’m praying for all of the people involved in these situations tonight. May God’s glory be shown through everything that’s happened in the past 24 hours.
