Old & New

Hello world.

I like the old & new.

It's the perfect combination

of history 

and possibility.

Buildings tell such stories

with their crusty bricks

and cracked corners,

faded signs and peeling paint...

Our lives do the same.

These wrinkles tell my story.

Of my cries and joys.

My favorites are my smile wrinkles.

(You can never have too many of those.)

Who I was is not who I am.

And the same to you.

But what we hold from the past 

affects our forward motion.

So I'll hold on to trials that made me stronger,

to people who stretched my character,

to memories that built my house,

my foundation,

and I'll keep Christ as my cornerstone.
