the random musings of a real life hobbit... Now, where did I put that ring?....
Cleaning up, tidying, washing-up and vacuuming your girlfreind's house, finishing five minutes before she gets home, and then curling up on her couch, and stroking her hair till she falls asleep in your arms, and listening to her breathe, while watching the sun's sinking rays brush against the lounge window, thinking to yourself how perfect the moment is, and wanting it to last for ever.

"All religious and political systems, Right and Left alike, are the work of human beings. Abba's children will not sell their birthright for any mess of pottage, conservative or liberal. They hold fast to their freedom in Christ to live the gospel-uncontaminated by cultural dreck, political flotsam, and the filigreed hypocrisies of bullying religion." - Brennan Manning

"The best things in life are nearest: Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. I Corinthians 13:4-8
"Why love if losing hurts so much? We love to know that we are not alone." - C. S. Lewis

"To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved." - George MacDonald
