My friends’ pet passed away today. Tov was his name. Tov was a hedgehog, and Tov will be missed.
Kel and Leanne Penny are Tov’s parents, and they are wondeful, loving parents.
How do I know this? Because their love of Tov exceeds rational behavior.

Yes, I am a Sooner. No, I do not like Texas. However, due to the impending hurricane, which I hope causes minimal havoc and damage, and to the emotional uncertainty of a certain Texas football player, I cannot turn ESPN or the news on without Texas on the tips of tongues. Most of the time [...]

Buy a ticket, enter in, roam the rooms, haunt the halls.
Are you in the mood for something sweet and serene?
Maybe you’d like to interpret the tear-stained walls,

Take your time, settle in, find a niche.
Let the melody linger as the memories mingle,

She asked herself this morning, “Who am I going to be?”
The reflection was all she could see.
“But is it me?”
She closed her eyes, took a breath, “One, two, three.”
Same stranger staring through her invisibility.
“Would seven years be worth setting myself free?”
She turns away, goes out the door, hoping she might see,
Another view, the girl she [...]

Anyone who has sang those words with any kind of passion, knows that it is easy to let the emotion overtake you.

Draw me close to You,
never let me go.
I lay it all down again to hear You say that I’m Your friend.
You are my desire,
Nothing else will do.
No one else can take Your place,
To feel the warmth of Your embrace.
Help me find a way to bring me back to You.
You’re all I want.
You’re [...]
