toilet handle vs light switch

i had a moment this morning that made me laugh, shake my head and say "i need to get more sleep".

my innate night owl-ness has been shining through in all it's glory lately. (by saying that i mean i am staying up later than i should and not getting enough rest.)

this morning i arose to get ready for the day. i was clearly not totally with it right away and wonder if my eyes were even fully open as i walked to the bathroom.

my eyes opened eventually. but it took awhile for my brain to turn on. this is how i know that was the case.

i thought somehow that flipping the light switch would flush the toilet.

for anyone who is wondering it that works, it doesn't.

words of life

these pages are full of words.
words of life.
of truth.
of joy!

tear stained, ripped pages.
tattered and worn.
but that is simply the paper on which the words rest.

the Word itself stands firm.
it is my light. my security.
make my soul long for these words, oh Lord.
may my eyes gaze upon their beauty.
taking it in.
consuming it.
allowing it to saturate my whole being.

i am changed.
i am made new.
i find freedom...
from Your words of life.
