Stranger Than Fiction

Today I finally saw Stranger Than Fiction.

I really loved it, in fact, it's been a long time since I enjoyed a movie that much.

That's all I wanted to say.

have a peaceful evening,

Tests

I don't think that I've been this down about something unknown in a long time. I suppose I just feel a little lost in some way. Not in the, wow I'm totally alone and will never be happy again way, but the what is it I really think, what do I do next, kind of thing.

I think it's that I'm wanting is people to believe in me, but in reality life isn't that simple. Sometimes we have to do things on our own, and people will doubt us. I feel disowned by the people I tried to surround myself with, but I find it hard to believe that it could be that easy to understand. I think there has to be something in me that I'm not embracing fully and until I do things will stay this way. I love the people in my life, and I love myself, but I'm working towards making that the same emotion....

I trust God, and I trust that wherever I go in the next few years is where I'm meant to go, I just hope I let myself be the most effective and compassionate person I can be.

My trials will never end, no one's ever do.

I just hope I don't stray so far that I never walk back (though I suppose even if I do all I'd have to do was look around and realize I was never really alone anyways)

I'll leave it with these lyrics, because I love the way Johnny Cash sings this song,

Have a peaceful Fourth of July weekend,

Geoff.

Why Me Lord (Johnny Cash version)

Why me Lord,
what have I ever done
To deserve even one
Of the pleasures I've known

Tell me Lord,
what did I ever do
That was worth loving you
Or the kindness you've shown.

Lord help me Jesus,
I've wasted it so
Help me Jesus
I know what I am

Now that I know
that I've need you so
Help me Jesus,
my soul's in your hand

Tell me Lord,
if you think there's a way
I can try to repay
All I've taken from you

Maybe Lord,
I can show someone else
What I've been through myself
On my way back to you.

Lord help me Jesus,
I've wasted it so
Help me Jesus
I know what I am

Now that I know
that I've need you so
Help me Jesus,
my soul's in your hand.
