"what will this fix
you know you're not a quick forgive
and i wont sleep through this
i survive on the breath you are finished with

you can be mad in the morning
i'll take back what i said
just dont leave me alone here
its cold baby
come back to bed . . . ."

come back to bed, john mayer

*sigh* ariel and i went to mass today at our lady of the lakes. the priest took the readings, which were about the creation of woman as a suitable companion for man, and came up with a homily about forgiveness. maybe he knew that women sometimes have a difficult time letting go of grudges or maybe he just knew that ariel and i had had an argument the night before . . . either way, i knew that the Lord was telling me exactly what i needed but didn't want to hear.

it lead me to pray about mercy as a fruit of love - and i concluded that it has to be His mercy that convinces me of His love every single day. the confidence that i have that no matter what He will always forgive me. but it doesn't just end at the forgiveness - He completely forgets any hurt that i have caused and washes me clean again with His generosity. that's how i want to be toward everyone, but especially the ones that i care about the most.

but in the end i guess a good hug and some butterfly kisses seem to make everything better.

midterms are almost over . . . just in time for nina to come up so we can white girl dance in celebration. and then amanda, we can air drum to red red wine and mexico. love you girls, good to talk with you!
