Kitty, More Changes and Music

So if everyone hasn't already heard or read it by now, Andrea and I do have a new addition in our household.  It's not a child, it's a kitten.  She's 8 months old and right now her name is Penelo, but Andrea is giving it second thoughts.  I always grew up with cats in the house, so it doesn't bother me at all.  However, I am a little upset with the four-legged furry because it has been disturbing my already-fragile sleep cycle.  If you like pictures, these should help.


Also noteworthy is all the changes going on around here.  Andrea is starting training for her new job at church, my online Bible study could be ending this week, I might be teaching some classes at Good Shepherd.  You can read all of it in full over at r2r.

And when I driving home today from my daily errands, I heard this song on the radio and I like it a lot.  If you have ever been in a romantic relationship that didn't work out for whatever reason, I think it will have have a strong effect.  The idea of writing a "break-up letter" to sin is intriguing to me.  I might parody this later.




Disciple - Dear X (You Don't Own Me)
Dear pain, oh, it's been a long time
Remember when you were holding me tight
I would stay awake with you all night
Dear shame, I was safe in your arms
You were there when it all fell apart
I would get so lost in your beautiful lies
I let you go
But you're still chasing 

Go ahead
You're never gonna take me
You can bend
But you're never gonna break me
I was yours
I'm not yours anymore
Oh, you don't own me

Dear hate, I know you're not far
You would wait at the door of my heart
I was amazed at the passion in your cries
Dear anger, you made me so high
You were faithful to show up on time
Such a flame that was burning in your eyes
I let you go
But you're still chasing

Go ahead
You're never gonna take me
You can bend
But you're never gonna break me
I was yours
But I'm not yours anymore
Oh, you don't own me

Go ahead
Put a target on my forehead
You can fire
But you've got no bullet
I was yours
But I'm not yours anymore
Oh, you don't own me

You tempted me to look back
But everything that we had together was a lie

  1. The Disciple song reminds me (thematically, not so much musically) of MercyMe's "So Long Self."

  2. I need to get Google Reader to upload comments people make on this site. I forgot to do that, thus, I just saw your comment here now.

    You're right, it does remind me a lot of that song as well. I haven't heard it in so long!
