Maybe these will help just a tiny bit. 
God bless her. I know cancer survivors and people with chronic diseases such as diabetes (which isn't as debilitating as cancer, but it's still a burden to live with so many restrictions - not trying to order diseases up in here, any form of human suffering is terrible) and they are amazing people trying to get back to life, but at times they end up hurting themselves by doing too much. I pray your colleague gets better and you can perform together soon.
MJJ_luv, i see you are 'only' 19 - i know how patronizing it can sound lol, but you have ALL of life ahead of you. I really am not in any position to give anybody advice, especially when it comes to this stuff and i haven't read all of what you've been through with this guy, but i would pray for wisdom and guidance from the Lord so you can know for sure if this is something worth fighting till the very end cause something wonderful awaits you or if you are wasting precious time. I don't know many things, but i know what it's like to see years go by in the name of nothing, so please be careful on whom you shower your affection. Again, if this is the real deal, go for it with all your heart and might, but if not...i know it's awful difficult to discern between the two though.
At times, pain in a difficult relationship seems a valid alternative to solitude, some (aka Bono and company lol) say the only pain is to feel nothing at all and that can be true many times - emptiness is an awful feeling, but as i said, time is precious and you may end up losing months/years on something that would not have worked out anyhow.
And remember, for any door that gets shut, there is an window opening up on something which can far more wonderful than you can ever imagine. I know it's a cliche, but it's true. That particular something may not always be when and how you thought it would be, but it can be amazing. The Lord is never late and always on time, so He'll provide you with all the answers in His time and in His way.
Earth_Song - thanks for your kind words. I'll be popping in as often as time allows, especially now that it's the Lent season.
God bless you everyone. Here's a little something to remind us all of God's grace, love and mercy which know no limits. As it is with our earthly parents for whom we stay children even if we are in our 70s lol, that is even truer for the good Lord - we all are children in His eyes and it pains Him when we suffer (the greatest pain being separation from Him) but through it all He loves us with an everlasting love always ready to guide, forgive and help us.
Me. I'm glad there is a thread like this on here.
I'd love to workout sometime but it seems like I'm always too tired or I make up some excuse not to workout. Glad to hear, Earthy.
We had final rehearsal yesterday. It was with audience. There were only like 20-30 people watching but it was awesome anyway. Wow. I didn't remember the feeling that I get when show is over. It is something so awesome. We got some good feedback also.
But about that one of our actors I told you about before... It seems like her arm is broken and she can't act for three weeks. Doctors said she doesn't need surgery but she can't move her arm for three weeks. Her replacing actor was good but I'm not very good friend of her, so it is a bit harder without "chemistry". Yesterday it turned out pretty well anyway.
How are you friends?
Good luck with everything, when do you have the show proper? - i'm doing great enjoying wonderful spring weather, hearing children laugh and play by the river and watching planes go by imagining i will soon be in one of them hahaha. I also need to take down the Christmas tree back at my house - yeah, believe it or not, Easter is coming but i still have the tree all up and full of decorations lol. I think imma do that tomorrow though. 
Sorry to hear about your friend being kept away for so long, will keep on praying for her. Glad to hear the rehearsal went well.
Michelle, THANK YOU ever so much, this was a wonderful rendition of Psalm 23. Perhaps it only is my crazy, medieval-focused mind as of late (just yesterday i was listening to some medieval music at my office lol), but the melody sure creates that atmosphere, for me, at least. I wonder who is singing though, he has a wonderful voice, it exudes such purity and tranquility... Loved the imagery as well, i looove meadows and fields and all that good, beautiful stuff the good Lord made for us to enjoy which unfortunately we don't always treasure and end up abusing many times.
You are sooo right, that moment at 3:14 looks like a vision of heaven; that kind of light coming out of clouds always reminds me of that exact thing - i sit and imagine that heaven must be like that; i actually saw a bit of that earlier this week during one sunet, it was gorgeous although there were not nearly enough rays of light to make it truly breathtakingly spectacular. Look at me, i'm complaing about it, instead of simply enjoying it lol. I guess i'm ever so ungrateful, like any other human being, never totally satisfied with anything.
Wonderful message and great beat; wasn't aware of it either. Thank you so much :bow:, honestly, from the bottom of my heart, as Michael used to say lol. I thoroughly enjoyed these videos, i already think imma have them on repeat for the next few days.
And to answer notsoEvilman's question
In the Catholic calendar yesterday we celebrated Saint Joseph, so it was a special day for me cause of some other reasons, but mainly because of Michael - i thought about him a lot, even more so than i usually do. It was a bit tough, it's kinda hard trying to be strong, but i know the good Lord takes care of everything and everyone and He is our comforter. I did put an extra prayer for Michael, his father and all those sharing that beautiful, faith filled name.
But since i don't wanna end this on a sad note, here are a couple of musical pieces i love - Michael W. Smith - Agnus Dei http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s33Yx31Cpi4 and a Gregorian chant for Kyrie Eleison http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6oM1iLJH6k filled with beautiful images of Byzantine icons. I especially love the Christ Pantocrator images.
I was gonna push the submit reply button when i heard an amazing commentary about tomorrow's Gospel passage in the mass about the 'cast the first stone' episode that i simply had to share. Jesus looks first not at people's sin, but at their pain. The people He dislikes the most are accusers. God grants us forgiveness not because we deserve it, but because of the good that we are still capable of doing in the future; the good we might do tomorrow is bigger than the evil of today. It was said long ago that the enemy is the master of the past, the Lord comes from the future. Go and sin no more those are the Lord's words encouraging us to take hold of our lives and our future in light of His forgiveness.
Now this is really it, can't believe i wrote so much. *giggles* God bless you everyone :flowers:
