Amen!

Wake the neighbors, get the word out
Come oncrank up the musicclimb a mountain and shout
This is life weve been given made to be lived out
So la la la la live out loud!

It’s infectious… it’s all sooo great. I’m perpetually happy all of a sudden… it all makes sense, I love my friends, I miss them so much. I love the Lord. I’ve never actually been able to say that I am in love with the Lord, but I really am. It’s so incredible. Wow – isn’t life great? I mean, I’m sick, I’m going to lose my cat within the next two months, and still – God makes life worth living. I don’t know any other way I could possibly be happy right now. Losing my cat will be the hardest and saddest thing of my life, but God will make me strong. I’m so lucky in so many ways.

This is life we’ve been given made to be lived out… So la la la la live out loud!

I want to live out loud for You, Lord.

Those damn church songs do get stuck in my head! Like I know all of the stuff the priest says at mass and other church songs. I want to live out loud for atheism! 😉

I miss you, Erin… we really need to do something… I haven’t even seen you in forever… it is so sad… Love, Emma

Losing your cat will be the hardest and saddest thing that has ever happened to you. But it will be the thing that points every moment of your experience and reveal each as precious. I am certain it would be her honor to help grant you such an elevated sensitivity to life. God bless you and give you strength.
