[unfinished]

curved, creamy porcelain: beautiful, functional.
held in hands sodden with imperfections.
inside the stains of what was temporarily, deeply satisfying entrench in permanent residence.
wheels spin as the shell is shined and polished. the inside remains ignored.

a portion of clay hardens and dries out in the great artists hands.
the stale process is wrought with simultaneously reluctant and brazen declarations of war, of independence.
in beautifully crafted timing, the artist saturates the clay with life giving water and begins to painfully and lovingly break, soften and mold.

occupation.

I used to keep a "task" in Outlook at work in which I would jot down random concepts or buzzwords that came to me for writing songs. Unfortunately I didn't get to take it with me when I left and I truly am pretty upset about it. There were some tasty morsels in there that have slipped my mind and I fear the likelihood of recovering them is minimal. The reason for this is that many of them were allegorical descriptions of some thought, feeling, or experience I was contemplating at the very moment, meant to trigger my memory when revisited. So now that those triggers are wiped away, I am left with no way to remember those lessons and no songwriting material to beautify.

To be honest, I'm not sure why I am writing this here other than to mourn the loss. There is no lesson to be learned (other than storing personal information on work equipment should be avoided and now can be thanks to googledocs) and I'm sure all 3 of you who will actually read this couldn't care less. But really this blog is a place for me to partake in thought vomit and I, my friends, am thought bulemic.

new skin.

Jesus works through Supernanny. I'm convinced of this...

a punctual guest.

i can't hear you.
i can't feel the word.
i don't crave you.
lost in my desires.

lord in my sin, you give grace

give me a new heart.
take out this wreckage of stone.
fill me with clean blood.
give me your passion as my own.

my heart's aching.
ruined and disgraced.
almost breaking.
all I have is you.

lord in my sin, you are faithful to me

give me a pure heart.
drive all my idols away.
rip out my wrecked heart.
help me to grieve for all my sin.

[i can feel you breaking through this heart of stone.]

[i can feel you cracking through this heart of stone.]

[i can feel you crushing all my heart and soul]

save me for your glory, JESUS, make me whole
