Every Rose Has It's Thorn

This song transports me back to middle school.  Do you remember middle school?  (Can you without having nightmares tonight?  Haha)  I remember one time listening to this song while a bunch of us traveled down to Denver for a New Year's Eve Lock In.  And I remember at the time trying to figure out the angst behind the song.  Little did I know in my little middle school world that love angst isn't contained to just middle school or high school but goes beyond.  I thought as adults everyone got a grip and everything worked out.  Yes.  I was incredibly naive.  It's okay because I've grown up and I have experienced and I understand that every rose does have a thorn.  And I have to say this because I just thought of it.  There were thorns pushed into the head of a man a long time ago and the blood from the punctures rolled down his face and he let it happen for us.  Yes for you and for me.  And they call him the Rose of Sharon.  Indeed every rose has it's thorn but that's part of the beauty of the rose. 
Happy Saturday!  I'm off to bake and cook - both of which I love equally!  I'm so excited to spend the day doing things I love for people I love!
