it's been a while

Wow, it's been a while. I'm getting off the facebook issue simply b/c it has been the home of some hilarious arguments (btw Mindy I agree Facebook and Myspace are similar, the differences are 1) in my opinion facebook is just better ((and I mean that from a convienience standpoint, not a Godly standpoint)) and 2) much safer)

Lots of stuff going on, here's a new random question for you...

Who's the better artists, Kenny Chesney or Billy Currington?

9/11

It's September 11th. God Bless the family and friends of all the people who died on this day 6 years ago.

As they say, freedom isn't free.

"I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free. I won't forget the men who died to give that right to me, and I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today. Cause there ain't no doubt; I love this land. God bless the USA!"

-Lee Greenwood

When I Get Where I'm Going

One of the best songs in the world today, it's also the next song in my series of songs dedicated to my Aunt Evelyn: When I Get Where I'm Going, by Brad Paisley.


When I get where I'm going
on the far side of the sky.
The first thing that I'm gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly.

I'm gonna land beside a lion,
and run my fingers through his mane.
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain

Yeah when I get where I'm going,
there'll be only happy tears.
I will shed the sins and struggles,
I have carried all these years.
And I'll leave my heart wide open,
I will love and have no fear.
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
Don't cry for me down here.

I'm gonna walk with my grandaddy,
and he'll match me step for step,
and I'll tell him how I missed him,
every minute since he left.
Then I'll hug his neck.

So much pain and so much darkness,
in this world we stumble through.
All these questions, I can't answer,
so much work to do.

But when I get where I'm going,
and I see my Maker's face.
I'll stand forever in the light,
of His amazing grace.
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
there'll be only happy tears.
Hallelujah!
I will love and have no fear.
When I get where I'm going.
Yeah when I get where I'm going

new project

So I've got a new project for my faithful readers (all 7 of you.) Pick a song that you really like (it can be your favorite song but it doesn't have to be just one that you really like) and explain why you like it. Oh baby...obviously I'll start

ok I'm gonna go with "That's Love" by Brad Paisley. (shoutout to JJ Leach.) The reason I like it (other then the sweet guitar riffs) is because 1) it's super catchy. As much as people say "the words are what count the words are what count!" there's a reason we don't get together on Sundays and just speak the words of worship songs. Melodies, tunes have to be catchy (or used to have to be catchy, apparently people who like Gwen Stefani didn't get the memo.) 2) the words are clever. I'm not gonna copy and paste the song. Go listen it yourself. 3) It's relevant to me personally. I was debating w/ someone about whether it's EVER ok to lie (hence the shoutout.) I was saying that there are times where you can lie. JJ was saying it's never ok to lie. Hence the punchline of the song "That's not a lie, that's love" is especially relevant to me :-).
