Jealous of the Angels

There is something I have been trying to say for a while now, but the words just keep escaping me. I lost my dad almost six months ago (November will be six months). I've wanted to share how I'm feeling for a long time, but I can't seem to find the words - I have been listening to the song "Jealous of the Angels" by Jenn Bostic for the last six months and feeling a great peace from it. When I actually looked up the lyrics, I realized it is what I've been trying to say all of this time. I thought I would share both the song and the lyrics with you.

Jenn Bostic – Jealous Of The Angels

I didn’t know today would be our last

Or that I’d have to say goodbye to you so fast

I’m so numb, I can’t feel anymore

Prayin’ you’d just walk back through that door

And tell me that I was only dreamin’

You’re not really gone as long as I believe

 

There will be another angel

Around the throne tonight

Your love lives on inside of me,

And I will hold on tight

It’s not my place to question,

Only God knows why

I’m just jealous of the angels

Around the throne tonight

 

You always made my troubles feel so small
And you were always there to catch me when I'd fall
In a world where heroes come and go
Well God just took the only one I know
So I'll hold you as close as I can
Longing for the day, when I see your face again
But until then

God must need another angel
Around the throne tonight
Your love lives on inside of me
And I will hold on tight
It's not my place to question
Only God knows why
I'm just jealous of the angels
Around the throne tonight

Singin' hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

I'm just jealous of the angels
Around the throne
Tonight

Writing Again

I read through my whole blog the other night - I thought it would be scarier than it was. I did notice one bith thing!

 

My Writing has gotten worse, as my education and practice have increased.

 

I stewed on this for a few days, and determined that the reason for this is my lack of commitment and dedication to my blog. I used to spend days or weeks formulating just one blog entry. Now I usually whip one out in a matter of minuets, more as a chore than something I want to do.

 

That is why I have decided, since I got a new blog format only a few weeks ago, that I should update my writing to a new format. I have become a better writer and an older smarter woman - it should show it in all that I do.

Atheist Rallies

Yesterday the Atheist Rallies took place in Washington.  Atheists and non-believers were rallying for religious rights. For any who do not know, an atheist is someone who does not believe the God exists. Here is the problem with the atheist rally - a religion is defined as the belief of a controlling supernatural being, also called a God.

 First lets discuss the framework of the rally. They based it on a rally for gay rights, how is this even remotely the same? people rallying for their sexual rights verses people who are rallying for their religious rights (if you can even call it that in this case). They are defending that knowing an atheist goes a long way to accepting atheism. Does anyone else see the problem here? How do you accept something that is the lack of a religion as a religion?

Second, don't they live in a free country with right to believe whatever they want? So why are they getting their knickers all in a bunch because they want more "secularists," as the media is calling them, in politics. What difference would this make? Is not the very framework that the US constitution is based on religious, the same constitution that gives them the right to believe whatever they please to. Also, I think people have tried to change the constitution before, and if memory serves me right (which it might not, because I'm not really up to date on my American History) they were rather unsuccessful on this behalf. All new policies are based on the good of the general public, sorry if that happens to be the same as what the Bible says. Oh, wait no we are not sorry, a lot of the time it is what is best for people that is why it is written in the Bible.

 Is rallying for religious rights, when you don't have a religion really even worth any one's time?
