    <gasp>..There is life out there...no not outerspace..there could be but that is another thread. As many of you know I have recently moved and have a new job. There have been so many changes in my life lately that I had forgot to have some fun. Tonight I finally without guilt went out with some friends "WORLDLY" from work and we had a blast!!!! It was really great to be me and not have to look over my shoulder. OK, so it's almost 4am and I have to work tomorrow. I just wanted to say that there is life out there and it is wonderful! ...*yawns

    Well done noidea!!!

    That's great to know, I'm so pleased for you! I understand where you are, because I'm a few steps behind. I keep getting the feeling that I should get another job and never mention to my new colleagues that I was ever a witness. I've been having problems interacting with people at work because they still have the "Matt the Evangeliser" view of me, and so I'm still out of the clique.

    Noidea,

    So good to hear from you again! Yes, life is too short to be constantly watching "over our shoulder". Besides, it gives you a crick in the neck!

    Enjoy your new life and new friends, and hopefully you'll keep having "fun" here too!

    Is There Life Out There

    From the album "For My Broken Heart"

    (Susan Longacre, Rick Giles)

    She married when she was twenty
    She thought she was ready
    Now she's not so sure
    She thought she'd done some living
    But now she's just wonderin'
    What she's living for
    Now she's feeling that there's something more

    Chorus:
    Is there life out there
    So much she hasn't done
    Is there life beyond
    Her family and her home
    She's done what she should
    Should she do what she dares
    She doesn't want to leave
    She's just wonderin
    Is there life out there

    She's always lived for tomorrow
    She's never learned how
    To live for today
    She's dyin' to try something foolish
    Do something crazy
    Or just get away
    Something for herself for a change

    Repeat Chorus

    There's a place in the sun that she's never been
    Where life is fair and time is a friend
    Would she do it the same as she did back then
    She looks out the window and wonders again

    Repeat Chorus twice
