Saturday's Citation: Sonnet 116

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
Oh no! It is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on tempests and is never shaken -
It is the star to every wandr'ing bark,
Whose worth's unknown
Although his height be taken.

Love is not Time's fool; though rosy lips and cheeks
Beneath his bending sickle's compass come.
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom -
If this be error, and upon me proved,
Then I never writ; nor no man ever loved.

-William Shakespeare (at his very best!)

oh my goodness, that is indeed shakespeare at his best!

Gosh - that gives me chills and makes me smile.

Hey - what an oddly beautiful day it is today! And you picked quite the suitable quote for such a time.

Have a great day, Hannah!

Ha, I did noticed you and recognized you, quite before you did me! Of course, being the type of person I was it felt rude to just waltz up. Stupid me!

But I am in town till the 3rd (or 4th) So yeah, hopefully we run into eachother or something.

Friends... I am going to try to post again before Caborca, but alas! I may not have the time. Please pray for me as I leave, and pray for the team!! We're a lot smaller than we were originally, but the Lord has orchestrated exactly the team that He wants going. Please pray that I would be prepared to serve, that the Lord would give me peace of mind and help me to work unto Him this next week, and that our team would come together and serve well for His glory. Thanks... God bless.

We've come a very long way since the day you posted this.

No, I understand (or at least I am trying really hard to)why you had to stay home last night. I trust that the Lord is guiding you and keeping you safe in His presence, and I know that He is truly working for our good and His glory. Thanks for the note - communication always makes me smile... like this: :D I am a com major, after all.

;)

God bless, Hannah.
