Lemonhead.

Pain. Real pain.
Not losing a family pet.
Not getting your sucker snatched away from you as a little kid.
Not falling and scraping your knee, or breaking a bone.
Real pain.
Like losing your best friend.
Like losing all you've ever loved.
Like being alone and having nothing.
When things hit you all at once and it knocks you down.
And when it takes you forever to get back up, and when you do,
It knocks you down again.
Pain. Real pain.
It makes your look on life a little different.
You appreciate more...think about things more...
But do you know what it feels like?
It feel like every good moment is going to be surrounded by pain. Like a lemonhead. You have to suck on it for forever and go through the horribly sour crap to get to that five seconds of sweet stuff in the middle.
And just like that, the good stuff is gone. In order to get more, you have to go through that long period of pain just to get to that little good thing.
I don't know if I'm strong enough to do that my entire life.
But I know God made it this way on purpose, and that he'll get me through it one way or another.

If the church wants a better pastor, it only needs to pray for the one it has.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for everything I've done,
Making it dark when we had the sun,
Stitching up the holes I've made,
Overreacting when things were okay,
Rambling on about how things are my fault,
Regretting not answering all those times you called,
Yelling at you when I had no idea why,
Forgetting how hard it is to see me cry,
Opening up when I needed to stay closed,
Realizing how much I left you alone,
Eating up all your words and using them against you,
Verifying that you loved me because I didn't believe you,
Earning your respect and then losing it again,
Running away when you needed a friend,
Yearning for more when you gave me the world,
Trying to hold you straight when you twisted and twirled,
Hating when you kept me at the end of the line,
Ignoring you when you just wanted some time,
Not returning all that I still owe you,
Giving up when things didn't go how I wanted them to.

Even though the journey could have been a little better,
We sure as hell got through it together.
If there's one thing I know that I do,
It's unconditionally loving you.
And that is something I will never be sorry for.
