Things here at home are looking up. Thank God. Just when you think things couldn't get worse they somehow flip themselves inside out and reveal the brighter side. In times like these I hold tight to the scriptures in James.
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything... Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him."
Being in Nashville was bittersweet. It was fun but so short lived and kind of lacking in spirit. The DDCF show at The Muse was fun but for some reason, and I can't place my finger on it, I was not completely proud of the experience. My mother came and she was proud of me, but not us. She told me that I am "too good" for them. I am not sure if she meant in talent or personality. I must say I did have fun, but was slightly ashamed by the antics of my "friends". Maybe just because my mother was there.
I was glad to see Jordan. We have this unspoken connection. He showed me his new tatoo because he knew I could appreciate it. I thought that was a sweet gesture of friendship. Mom my made it a point to tell me she was impressed by him and that she liked his manners, etc. I think he likes me and, to be honest, I think I might like him as well. We'll see...
It's Independence Day. I guess I will see Brian today. I am okay about it because I know it won't be very exclusive with all of his friends there. I can't handle those conversations anymore so I am glad that we can just avoid them, if only for today.

"Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must ever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force."
