yup, you definitely forgot ...

(You Forgot To) Remember
By IRVING BERLIN

[1st verse:]
One little kiss, a moment of bliss, then hours of deep regret
One little smile, and after a while, a longing to forget
One little heartache left as a token
One little plaything carelessly broken

[Refrain:]
Remember the night, the night you said, "I love you"
Remember
Remember you vowed by all the stars above you
Remember
Remember we found a lonely spot
And after I learned to care a lot
You promised that you'd forget me not
But you forgot to remember

[2nd verse:]
Into my dreams you wandered it seems, and then there came a day
You loved me too, my dreams had come true, and all the world was May
But soon the Maytime turned to December
You had forgotten, do you remember?

[Refrain:]
Remember the night, the night you said, "I love you"
Remember
Remember you vowed by all the stars above you
Remember
Remember we found a lonely spot
And after I learned to care a lot
You promised that you'd forget me not
But you forgot to remember


Wow, just heard this song for the first time. I had to find the words ...

Yup, you forgot to remember me but I can't stop remembering you. All it was was a good friendship with potential right? Oh well... Time has helped a little ... well, a whole lot. It still burns me... that I am so forgettable. I am a keeper.... but no one keeps things any more. I have gotten on ... I am a whole lot better too. The wound has healed but the scar tissue isn't soft like baby skin. It is tender but a bit harder. Keep me - is all I ever wanted but now I will never admit it. Jesus Christ was forsaken so that I will never be..... I'll stick to that. Doesn't is say in the Word, ... ' a faithful man, who can find?'

caught by their naughtiness ...

Today as I was listening to Proverbs 11 being read aloud, I couldn't help but notice how many times the unrighteous was mentioned. It seemed that my ears where extra sensitive because of recent events where we heard of America's bad guy's demise.

6 The righteousness of the upright delivers them,
but the unfaithful are trapped by evil desires.

7 Hopes placed in mortals die with them;
all the promise oft their power comes to nothing.

8 The righteous person is rescued from trouble,
and it falls on the wicked instead.

When you go days, weeks, months, years on life's journey and you feel like you are going on where and the wicked around you revel in their pleasures and desires, you wonder when things will go your way for once. Then bam out of the blue you see that wickedness doesn't pay. Hope rises again...

I often wonder when a wicked person dies what the next moments are like when what they choose to be meets up with the Almighty...
