"Infamy, Infamy, they've all got it Infamy"

Anyone know where that come's from.......answers in the comments box - if it's someone I know - I owe you chocolate! - Hey, maybe if I do more improptu quizzes people'll say hi.............

....naaaaaah.

Well, here is the poem I promised. Take it how you will it's from TPDL (see Blog Abb) and I just thought it was so cool and put stuff into perspective for me that I would share it.


You are who you are for a reason.
You're part of an intricate plan.
You're a precious and perfect unique design,
Called God's special woman or man.

You look like you look for a reason.
Our God made no mistake.
He knit you together within the womb,
You're just what he wanted to make.

The parents you had were the ones he chose,
And no matter how you may feel,
They were custom-designed with God's plan in mind,
And they bear the Master's seal.

No, that trauma you faced was not easy.
And God wept that it hurt you so;
But it was allowed to shape your heart
So that into his likeness you'd grow.

You are who you are for a reason,
You've been formed by the Master's rod.
You are who you are, beloved,
Because there is a God!

Now I'm not about to go all preachy on you 'cos hopefully you'll know that's not my style. But this poem really 'speaks' to me, as those of you who know about my childhood etc will understand. So I was hoping that maybe you'll read it and take a minute to think - that's all, just a pondering point for the day - bit like Radio 4 in the morning's :)
