Who am I


Over time You'�ve healed so much in me
And I am living proof
That although my darkest hour had come
Your light could still shine through
And though at times it�s just enough to cast
A shadow on the wall
Well, I am grateful that you shine your light on me at all

Who am I that You would love me so gently
Who am I that You would recognize my name
Lord, who am I that You would speak to me so softly
Conversation with the love most high
Who am I?

Well, amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind, but now I see
And the more I sing that sweet old song the more I understand
That I do not comprehend this love that�s coming from Your hand

Grace, grace, God�s grace
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within
Grace, grace, God�s grace
Grace that is greater than all our sin

Who am I that You would love me so gently
Who am I that You would recognize my name
Lord, who am I that You would speak to me so softly
Conversation with the love most high
Who am I.



Who am I

Sometimes it's great having songs that can put my thoughts into words.

Never ask designers.

Shannon (the secretary) has lost her cat and has asked David (the graphic designer) to help with a lost poster. This is their email correspondence...

Poster

Hi
I opened the screen door yesterday and my cat got out and has been missing since then so I was wondering if you are not to busy you could make a poster for me. It has to be A4 and I will photocopy it and put it around my suburb this afternoon.


This is the only photo of her I have she answers to the name Missy and is black and white and about 8 months old. missing on Harper street and my phone number.
Thanks Shan.

Re: Poster

Dear Shannon,
That is shocking news. Although I have two clients expecting completed work this afternoon, I will, of course, drop everything and do whatever it takes to facilitate the speedy return of Missy.
Regards, David.

Dear Shannon, It's a design thing. The cat is lost in the negative space.

Dear Shannon,
Having worked with designers for a few years now, I would have assumed you understood, despite our vague suggestions otherwise, we do not welcome constructive criticism. I don't come downstairs and tell you how to send text messages, log onto Facebook and look out of the window. I have amended and attached the poster as per your instructions.
Regards, David.

This is worse than the other one. can you make it so it shows the whole photo of Missy and delete the stupid text that says missing missy off it? I just want it to say Lost.

yeah can you do the poster or not? I just want a photo and the word lost and the telephone number and when and where she was lost and her name. Not like a movie poster or anything stupid. I have to leave early today. If it was your cat I would help you. Thanks.

Dear Shannon, I don't have a cat. I once agreed to look after a friend's cat for a week but after he dropped it off at my apartment and explained the concept of kitty litter. I have attached the amended version of your poster as per your detailed instructions.
Regards, David.

I know, but that one is cute. As Missy has quite possibly met any one of several violent ends, it is possible you might get a better cat out of this. If anybody calls and says "I haven't seen your orange cat but I did find a black and white one with its hind legs run over by a car, do you want it?" you can politely decline and save yourself a costly veterinarian bill.

Regards, David.

Trading silver for gold?


Maybe it's true that many good things come with a price to pay.
That with every pro, there's a con. With every good thing, a price.
That we can't always get what we want.
But.
I was so caught up counting the price i had to pay, i forgot that what i was getting was worth much more than the price i needed to pay for it. Maybe trading silver for gold is worth it...
Thank you for hanging on, when all i wanted was to give up. :)

Who do you love?

Here we are
You tell me I'm the only one
Who makes you feel love again
There you go
I see you watching him
When you don't think I know
Should I let you go?

So who's it gonna be
Is it him or me?

Who do you love?
Who do you need?
You're messing up my mind
Wasting all my time

Who do you love?
What do you feel?
Stop playing with my heart
You're tearing me apart

Am I the one
who can make you fly up above
Is it me who can take you higher
than you're dreaming of
Now who do you love?
Who do you love?

Turn around
Do you really think you could
You'll play me like a fool
For you
Then I realize
When you touch me it's like nothing I have known
Could I let you go

So who's it gonna be
Is it him or me?

Who do you love
Moffats
