On Permanence.


Oh hey, I got another tattoo.

Here's my decision making process:

Ashley had been talking about getting a tattoo for a while.  We worked on font, size, placement.  She wore a Ming-sharpie version for a few days.  On our way to the tattoo shop, we get large iced coffees.  We hadn't eaten yet that day, I was feeling preeeetty good.

So I got a tattoo.

M2820 means Matthew 28:20, which is my favorite Bible verse.   Has been since Camp Bear Paw in 1997, when I was flipping to the end of Matthew, in order to find space in my Bible to doodle.  This verse is the very last of the Book, the very last line in Jesus' Great Commission to his disciples.  He is telling them to go out in the world, to teach them everything they had been taught.

 ".....and surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Sometimes, I think that the reason I like being alone so much is because I know I never really am.

Love Love Love.

The first bit had me busting out loud laughing. The last few lines brought tears to my eyes and I sobbed. Out loud. Either this was a truly touching post or I'm about to start my period. I think I'll go with truly touching. Love it, girl.

oh I just reread this and I think your latter suspicion may be my issue. Pass the Kotex.
