I'm nobody....how about you?

"I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us--don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know. How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!"

Most people have probably (well maybe) heard this poem before. I have felt this way a lot recently and in the past in differing degrees. I have not necessarily felt it in a conscious way, but in more of an unconscious way. I have struggled with friendships a lot. (I would just like to say right now I am not looking for sympathy here. I am just wanting to put to words a little of what's been going on in my life. :) )

From as far as I can remember, I have not been a very social person. I am not one who is outgoing and makes friends very easily. But, I think if I may say so, I am known to be quite a friendly person. So, why do I am not outgoing and have lots of close friends? This could be for many reasons. As I have given it thought, I guess I have drawn this conclusion. You cannot be close friends with people if you never allow them to get close to you. I put a smile on for people and I try to be nice....not that I am not, but sometimes I do not feel like it.

Alright well it's late.....I'm going to finish my thoughts in another installment or two.

James Eli Harris......

.....Welcome to earth :)! It is so exciting that yesterday (03/03/09) my youth pastor and his wife (a.k.a. Josh and Kim Harris) had their first child, James Eli Harris. I believe everything went well and that they are probably home now. It is very awesome anytime that a new life is born, because God has given that child life. For the gift of life is a thing that many people take for granted. Praise the Lord that he is a life born and not one of the many children who get aborted and never leave their mother's womb!

"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth..." Psalm 139:13-15

p.s. It was also Megan Schwoch's birthday yesterday! So she got an awesome present of a baby she knows being born on her "birth"-day.
