New Movie

Hey all you Tron fans out there, get ready for a new adventure!
There's a new Tron coming in 2010, sweet!
I can't even guess how many times I enjoyed watching that movie growing up. I don't know why it's so cool, it just is.

I Went Out One Day

This is a poem I wrote that I'd like to see made into a children's picture book.

I went out in the wind one day.
I whistled along my merry way,
Then the wind whisked my whistle far away.
And that is why the wind whistles through the trees.

I went out in the fog one day.
My mother’s veil upon my face,
Then the fog gently lifted the satiny lace.
And that is why the fog veils the air.

I went out in the rain one day.
I chuckled along my soggy way,
Then the rain washed my chuckle far away.
And that is why the water chuckles as it flows.

I went out in the sun one day.
I smiled brightly on my way,
Then the sun soaked up my bright beaming face.
And that is why the sun beams down on the earth.

I went out in the snow one day.
My breath sparkled as I played,
Then the snow took the sparkles far away.
And that is why the snow sparkles on the ground.

Sometimes He Lets it Rain

My Relief Society teacher read this song to us on Sunday, and it really struck me.

Sometimes He Lets it Rain by Tyler Castleton and Staci Peters on the CD Women of Destiny

She sees the storm clouds gather,

The sky is turning cold and gray.

She knows that something's coming

When she starts to feel this way.

She pleads for intervention,

But heaven offers no relief.

And she would understand if she could only see that -

Sometimes He lets it rain,

He lets the fierce winds blow.

Sometimes it takes a storm

To lead a heart where it can grow.

He can move mountains of grief,

And oceans of pain,

But sometimes He lets it rain.

When her heart surrenders

To the master in control,

Her spirit learns the lessons of the tempest in her soul.

When it's no longer raging,

She can see how far she's come,

Through the wisdom and the mercy of the son.
