A Song

The following chorus is from the Casting Crowns song 'Somewhere In the Middle'. These words just struck a chord with me last night when I was walking.  Words to ponder on!

Fearless warriors in a picket fence
Reckless abandon wrapped in common sense
Deep-water faith in the shallow end
We are caught in the middle

With eyes wide open to the differences
The God we want and the God who is
But will we trade our dreams for His
Or are we caught in the middle?

10. watching my boys play baseball
11. fresh flowers
12. sun kissed cheeks
13. people are happier in the summer
14. laundry on my washline
15. walking outside and not freezing my fingers off
16. the different smells (fresh cut grass, honeysuckle, hay)
