I Wonder by Kellie Pickler (with Appropriate Adaptations)
Sometimes I think about you.
Wonder if you’re out there somewhere thinkin’ about me.
And would you even recognize,
The woman that your little girl has grown up to be.
Cuz I look in the mirror and all I see,
Are your brown eyes looking back at me.
They’re the only thing you ever gave to me at all.
Oh, I hear the weather’s nice in Michigan.
There’s sunny skies as far as I can see.
If you ever decide to move to Colorado.
I wonder what you’d say to me.
I think about how it ain’t fair.
That you weren’t there to braid my hair like fathers do.
You weren’t around to cheer me on.
Help me dress for my high school prom like fathers do.
Did you think I didn’t need you here.
To hold my hand, to dry my tears.
Did you even miss me through the years at all?
Chorus.
Forgiveness.
Is such a simple word.
But its so hard to do.
When you’ve been hurt.
Oh, I hear the weather’s nice in Michigan.
And just in case you’re wondering about me.
From now on I won’t be in Michigan.
Your little girl is off…
Your little girl is off…
Your little girl is off to Colorado.

Song Conversations
I love this song because it reminds me of discussions I have had. Only, it wasn’t in November. It wasn’t raining. And he wasn’t 3.
by Building 429
I was standing in the pour raining
One dark November night
Fighting off the bitter cold
When she caught my eye
Her face was torn and her eyes were filled
And then to my surprise
She pulled out a photograph
And my heart just stopped inside
She said He would have been three today
I miss his smile, I miss his face
What was I supposed to say
But I believe always always
Our Savior never fails
Even when all hope is gone
God knows our pain and His promise remains
He will be with you always

No Letter
Well… no letter on March 17, my first no guess. I did, however, get information from Blue Cross Blue Shield. Oh, how nice of them. I have one more guess date for a no: April 1st (April Fools, right?). My original guess date for a yes is April 27th; although, I am adding one more there, too: April 6th.
Fingers crossed, pray hard!!!

Matt Bonzo’s Books
So, one of my professors from my undergraduate days at Cornerstone University, has 3 books out! Yay! And, here they are, in no particular order (in bold is information from him):
Wendell Berry and the Cultivation of Life (Brazos) with Michael Stevens. You can read recent reviews in Christianity Today and Relevant magazine.
Indwelling the Forsaken Other: Moltmann’s Trinitarian Ethics (Pickwick)
JUST OUT After Worldview (Dordt) edited with Michael Stevens. Chapters by Seerveld, Olthuis, Wolters, Naugle, Reppman.
While these books are available from the biggies (Amazon, Barnes and Noble), we recommend ordering from Byron Borger at Hearts and Minds bookstore.
(And, I would add, any local independent bookstore).

5,000 Views
I am almost at 5,000 views on my blog. If only I got a dollar for every view. Now, I am just curious if my mother has looked at my blog 5,000 times or if people actually enjoy my random posts mostly about nothing.
