OK. Maybe just new.

Random traffic report: someone got linked to my site by Googling for this: lyric why don't you and i chad kroger

I hope he found what he's looking for...although I don't think my site is it.

And maybe it's just me, but that seems like a terrible song lyric.

I was IMing tonight with a friend. Not a close, intimate friend...just a friend. And just tonight she had broken up with her boyfriend. Such pain. And such mean things that were said. The consequences of this wrecked and broken world are like tentacles...they're inescapable, aren't they? I tried telling her that she deserves better. I want--and probably need--to tell her even bigger things. That God loves her, for instance. And that she was created in God's image. And that she is valuable and redeemable and precious. But I know my friend, and I can't say that. Not now, anyway, not in this context of relationship. So I squeeze the big thoughts into little words. "Take care of yourself. Life is to short to voluntarily hang around people who treat you crappy. You deserve better."

It feels so inadequate, though. Maybe it's helpful. Hopefully it's at least a window into a greater love. But who knows?
