So, not too long ago, I caught an episode of Dr. Phil where people were asking 'embarrassing' questions or questions that everyone wants to know but never asks! It made me think about my embarrassing questions! So here's one that's not too bad, but I have always wondered about it:

You know those tissue paper toilet seat covers? Well, after you're done using them, do you flush them or throw them away? It seems like something you should throw away, but no matter how careful I am, they always end up in the water so i just flush them. I tend to only use them in really sketch bathrooms, but would probably use them more if I knew the answer to this question! Do they dissolve like toilet paper? Ah! So many questions!!

Also- Did you know that they double as facial oil absorbers? How crazy that something so good for your bum could be great for your face too! =)

Empty

Will I always feel this way
so empty
so estranged?

Those are a few of the lyrics from Ray LaMontagne's song 'Empty'. Great song, great artist! This is what I've been thinking a lot about lately. Emptiness. I've had part of verse 11 from Ecclesiastes 3 stuck in my head for the last couple weeks. "God has set eternity in the hearts of man". It just keeps ringing around in my noggin. Today, that verse was repeated in church and it made me wonder... really, what does that even mean? What does it look like to have eternity set in my heart? I looked it up in my wonderful little bible and the commentary said this: "Since we were made for eternity, the things of time cannot fully and permanently satisfy." Sooo true!! I've thought about this much today and considering the amounts of junk that I've accumulated. So worthless! It may satisfy, but only for a short time. Yet even as I write this, I'm thinking how nice a new iPod would be! I know this isn't anything new, but sometimes things like this just hit you, and today it's hit me hard! I still feel empty. You know you've heard the saying that everyone has a 'God-shaped hole in their hearts'. Well, I believe it. Even with Jesus in my heart, I still try and push him aside to make room for other things. Nothing satisfies like He does though. But even after a great time with Him, I'm still left wanting more. I guess that is truly having eternity in my heart. The only remedy is to be constantly united with Him. (So basic, yet so profound. And easier said than done!) My little heart will never be quite full until I'm at last reunited with Him! But in the mean time, I can certainly soak up as much of the Lord as possible.
