I just didn't have any superbly pressing things to share. It takes a bit of thinking sometimes, and I just haven't had the time to sit down and... think (wow. lamest statement ever).
Anyways, I wanted to share this song with you guys. Emma by the Nashville Tribute Band.
I looked all over to find somewhere to embed it from. This was the best I found. Click play, it will open up in a separate window, click play again, switch back, and you can read the lyrics! I always like reading the lyrics while listening to a song. Gives you something to do.
(The big, bolded line is my favorite if you couldn't tell.)
Oh! And exit out of the window when the song ends. Another random one will probably start up. Seems to keep happening to me. Sorry, best I could do. :)

Never had an ordinary day
Never had an ordinary day
Never lived your life in an ordinary way
For everything you loved you paid a price
But you couldn't let the world see you cry
Never had a moment of peace
Never felt the sunlight
When the worries set you free
Every time your life turned a page
It seemed like your heart might break
With the world on your shoulders
When the nights had grown colder
You seemed to weather every storm
With a queen's grace
When you lost your husband
When you buried your children
I'm sure the angels stood in reverence as you prayed
How much can one heart take
How much can one heart take
Never had a day to call your own
When so many needed your warm heart as a home
Whispering a mother's lullaby
As you sat alone by the fire
With the world on your shoulders
When the nights had grown colder
You seemed to weather every storm
With a queen's grace
When you lost your husband
When you buried your children
I'm sure the angels stood in reverence as you prayed
How much can one heart take
How much can one heart take
With the world on your shoulders
When the nights had grown colder
You seemed to weather every storm
With a queen's grace
When you lost your husband
When you buried your children
I'm sure the angels stood in reverence as you prayed
And I'm sure your heart breaks, when some people still say
Somewhere down the line you lost your faith
How much can one heart take -
How much can one heart take?

Oh and just if you didn't know - Katherine Nelson sings this song.
Mind = Blown. You're welcome.*
Now I'm going to repeat that line that's quite simply just my favorite.
I'm sure the angels stood in reverence as you prayed.
I love the thought of a God who weeps.
Angels who feel. Who love.
Just think of that. A God who weeps. The most powerful being you could ever imagine. Weeping for the sorrow of mankind.
The love our Father feels for all of us - even you and me - is unimaginable. This we know, and we always say.
But - a God who weeps?
It's an incredible thought.
( ^We know the guy who painted this! His mom is in our ward!)
They are aware of you. People you love beyond the veil - whether you remember them or not - are so much closer than you think. You could've been best friends with some of these spirits in years long ago. Those angels are rooting for you.
They are angels who stand in reverence of you and cry with you.
You are never alone. Powerful beings with infinite passion are all around you.
An incredible thought, indeed.
*This, for like 5 minutes, read "your welcome". I almost fell over when I caught my mistake. That's always been a pet peeve of mine. :)
