To Wit, To Woo


Personally Responsible

I was grumpy today.
The black crow should have caused me pause.
Acted like a minion.
Despicable me.
Extending grace one day.
Blowing through it another.

Responsibly Personable

Boys don't want bodies.
Boys want brains.
They'll take your body, if it's what you offer.
All fluffed up, short and sassy.
They notice.
Boys want brains.
But like us, they crave connection - at any cost.
Be careful what you brandish, girl with brawn.
Develop your brain.

(Observations from a local college campus :-)

I am not what I ought to be — ah, how imperfect and deficient! I am not what I wish to be — I abhor what is evil, and I would cleave to what is good! I am not what I hope to be — soon, soon shall I put off mortality, and with mortality all sin and imperfection. Yet, though I am not what I ought to be, nor what I wish to be, nor what I hope to be, I can truly say, I am not what I once was; a slave to sin and Satan; and I can heartily join with the apostle, and acknowledge, ‘By the grace of God I am what I am. ~ John Newton
