Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing.*

Ingredients for a Day of Emancipation

Hammer and crowbar

screwdriver

utility knife

duct tape

friend

sweat and tears

stamina

hope

cutting into the old carpet

ripping it up

I find dirt and grit

I sweep and vacuum

through tears I find a

nice clean foundation underneath it all

It was there all the time

wiping my tears away

I smile

*From "Independence Day" by Martina McBride

hmm... I'm Beverly, I love my kids and my dog...I love the ocean because it screams to me the awesome power of God....I am really afraid of heights, but I did go climbing and rappelling once...I love for people to make me laugh and I love to make others laugh...I love really scary movies but when the lights go out and I go to bed I find myself checking under the bed, and kicking myself for watching them..I love rain hitting the windows of the car..I absolutely love thunderstorms..I love children and how Jesus took snotty, loud, little kids on His lap, even at the protest of His followers...I sometimes jump in too quickly and that gets me in trouble...In my life, I had to actually touch the stove to believe it was hot..
