Sherry's "shush" list

a/k/a..."people who need to shut their mouths"

1. Dick Cheney: please be quiet, seriously...I beg of you...shut your mouth. You didn't say hardly anything in 8 years of office, and now you are just saying the most idiotic things. STOP it...really...STOP IT.

2. Michael Steele: could you say anymore ridiculous stuff? Don't answer...of course you can, you seriously cannot help yourself...the more you talk, the worse it gets...

3. Joe Lieberman: you change like a chameleon, reflecting the closest color to you...pick a stance and stick with it...until then: SHUSH!

4. Howard Dean: could you just for one minute "let it go" and quit talking...you aren't helping the cause of health care and you are just making it worse. BE QUIET!!!

5. The "Tiger Woods" mistress club: shut your mouths. Quit talking about any/all of it. You look stupid...zip your lips

6. Rush Limbaugh: Glad the health care system works for you...highly insured with lots of dough. Why do you think that applies to everyone? STOP talking

OK, that's it...now I'm going to be quiet myself!

2010: A "JESUS year"...

I'm wanting me a "JESUS year"...I really don't want anything else. There are a lot of resolutions I should/could make: all very worthy, arguably needed for sure! I quickly realized I couldn't settle on one or two things, cause I just want to be more in step with Jesus than I ever have been in my entire life. Actually, I was pretty excited that it meant not having the D word on my resolution list (Diet...which I think is interesting that the first 3 letters of the word spell DIE!!!)...I'm just hungry for Him and for His word...the word of life, and not religion in/of itself. That just kills any of my desire, passion, etc. actually!

Here's a pretty good verse that boils it down to REAL SIMPLE

For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.

1 Corinthians 2:2

I communicate better with writing than the spoken word, and usually I find lyrics that really can much more eloquently express my thoughts...so here's one by Meredith Andrews that I really am liking right now...

For your nearness Lord, I hunger
For your nearness Lord, I wait
Hold me ever closer Father
With such a love I can't escape

For your nearness I am hoping
For your nearness Lord, I long
I have no need of any other
I have found where I belong
Yes, I have found where I belong

So draw me nearer Lord
Never let me go
Closer to your heart
Draw me nearer Lord
Draw me nearer Lord

In your nearness there is healing
what was broken - now made whole
restoration in it's fullness
Lasting home for all who come

In your nearness I take shelter
Where you are is where I'm home
I have need of only one thing
to be here before your throne
to be here before your throne

So draw me nearer Lord
Never let me go
Closer to your heart
Draw me nearer Lord
Draw me nearer Lord

And keep me here
keep me here
there's no where else I'd rather be
So keep me here
keep me here
there's no where else I'd rather be
there's no where else I'd rather be

So draw me nearer Lord
Never let me go
Closer to your heart
Draw me nearer Lord
Draw me nearer Lord
