In the chaos I am there
I have come to bring peace in the chaos
Joy in the pain
Hope through the suffering
I am holding you
Through the chaos
I am holding you.

A cloud of chaos
Brokenness and suffering
Youve been here for so long
Youve been crying out
Hear My voice
Through the chaos
I am there.

I see the chaos
I see the pain
The time has come
For you to be finally be
Release the anger
Release the sadness

I see the chaos
I see the pain
The time has come
For you to be finally free
Hear Me through the chaos.

My child I love you
I am with you through the chaos
Hear My voice calling out to you
Feel My arms holding you
Embrace My love setting you free.

Through all the chaos
I have been there
Calling you
Restoring you
Healing you
I have been with you always
Even when you didnt know Me.

I have been there
Through all the anger
Through all the sadness
Through all the pain
I have been there
Through the chaos.

I see the chaos
I see the pain
The time has come
For you to be finally be
Release the anger
Release the sadness

I see the chaos
I see the pain
The time has come
For you to be finally free
Hear Me through the chaos.

Lift your hands
Receive the freedom
Receive the blessing
Lift your hands

I see the chaos
I see the pain
The time has come
For you to be finally free
Hear Me through the chaos.

AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN FEATURED VIDEO: Beef Burgundy Slow cookers make meat ultra-tender, but too often that comes at the expense of flavor, as prolonged cooking times tend to deaden many ingredients. We solved the problem with generous doses of garlic, fresh thyme, tomato paste, and soy sauce. But preventing the stew’s red-wine foundation from tasting sour or boozy proved a bit trickier. The secret was how we treated the wine—and when we added it.

Under the Tuscan Sun



BEFORE THE RAIN - Tuscany, Italy post by jujuba

Memorable Quotes

"Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you. Like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly. You shouldn't have to wake up day after day after that, trying to understand how in the world you didn't know. The light just never went on, you know. I must have known, of course, but I was too scared to see the truth. Then fear just makes you so stupid. " - Frances, Under the Tuscan Sun (2003)

On the twelfth day of Christmas...




On the twelfth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me Twelve drummers drumming,
Eleven pipers piping, Ten lords a-leaping, Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a-milking, Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying, Five golden rings, Four calling birds,
Three French hens, Two turtle doves, And a partridge in a pear tree.


Baptism of Christ Artist: Pieter de Grebber (b. ca. 1600)

Each of the songs gifts actually have hidden meanings to the teachings of the faith. For example the "true love" mentioned in the song doesn't refer to an earthly suitor, it refers to God Himself. The "me" who receives the presents refers to every baptized person. The partridge in a pear tree is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The other symbols mean the following:

2 Turtle Doves = The Old and New Testaments
3 French Hens = Faith, Hope and Charity, the Theological Virtues
4 Calling Birds = the Four Gospels and/or the Four Evangelists
5 Golden Rings = The first Five Books of the Old Testament, the "Pentateuch", which gives the history of man's fall from grace.
6 Geese A-laying = the six days of creation
7 Swans A-swimming = the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, the seven sacraments
8 Maids A-milking = the eight beatitudes
9 Ladies Dancing = the nine Fruits of the Holy Spirit
10 Lords A-leaping = the ten commandments
11 Pipers Piping = the eleven faithful apostles
12 Drummers Drumming = the twelve points of doctrine in the Apostle's Creed





These are pretty...

"My main focus is to raise awareness to the kids who age out of the system. They have no where else to go, but a shelter and sometimes they don't get in," said Wayne.
