I have something to say...

We have our nephew over this week.

We went to the movies yesterday

and then went to see 

Bridal Veil Falls.

My camera phone wasn't working well

and this is the mountain across 

from the falls.

I went to a funeral on Monday

of a sweet, fun loving 16 year old.

Davis was very brave

to sing with the other young men.
"We'll Bring the World His Truth".

I was SO very proud of him.

I can't remember the last time he

stood up in front of a church.

It really has been that long.

But he's been touched by 

his friends death

and wanted to do this 

for him.

He was so very nervous 

and was sick to his stomach

and couldn't stay for the rest of

the funeral.

But I think it was enough

from him.

I'm still so very proud of him

as he sang his pounding heart out.

Here is a poem from the funeral

that touched me very much.

Our Greatest Fear

It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant,

gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.

There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that 

other people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the 

glory of God that is within us.

It's not just in some of us;

it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,

we unconsiously 

give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear, our presesnce

automatically liberates others.
