If I could save time in a bottle

Last night I thought about publishing in the realm of social media the statement, "I need a baby food jar full of time." I wondered how people would react to it. People might think it was some deep philosophic comment on time spent raising babies. Either there wasn't enough time in the day to get it all done or I was too busy with other things to spend as much time with the baby as I wanted. Maybe it was a comment on how fast she is growing up, and how I wanted to stop time and savor the moments.

Turns out that I just misspelled thyme, and pinterest keeps my spices in baby food jars. So much for my poetic words of wisdom. Also I have no idea what thyme tastes like or why it should have gone into my chicken pot pie last night.

Hello, My Name Is

Yesterday on the drive to Beebe the Matthew West song Hello, My Name Is came on the radio. It goes like this.

Hello, my name is regret

I'm pretty sure we have met

Every single day of your life

I'm the whisper inside

That won't let you forget

Hello, my name is defeat

I know you recognize me

Just when you think you can win

I'll drag you right back down again

'Til you've lost all belief

As I listened I realized that is where I have been living lately. I already knew it, but just had not stated it out loud. Though I didn't actually say it out loud since I wasn't in the car alone. I needed to be reminded of the truth of the rest of the song.

Oh, these are the voices. Oh, these are the lies

And I have believed them for the very last time

Hello, my name is child of the one true King

I've been saved, I've been changed, I have been set free

"Amazing Grace" is the song I sing

Hello, my name is child of the one true King

I am no longer defined

By all the wreckage behind

The one who makes all things new

Has proven it's true

Just take a look at my life

What love the Father has lavished upon us that we should be called His children

It turns out that I have all my inspirational moments while driving 67/167. Must be because it's the road to Mecca Searcy.
