Straight Tequila Night November 17, 2008

Artist: John Anderson
If you really want to know, she comes here a lot.
She just loves to hear the music and dance.
K13 is her favorite song.
If you play it, you might have a chance.
Tonight she’s only sippin’ white wine.
She’s friendly, and fun-lovin’ most of the time.
But don’t ask her on a straight tequila night.
She’ll start thinkin’ [...]

thou hast taught me to say, it is well with my soul April 30, 2008

A verse that was brought to mind several times over the course of last week.
Philippians 4:4-7
Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I will say rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be [...]

She’s gonna make it…. March 3, 2008

I’m more prone to daydreams than visions, but this particular daydream really sobered me up and broke my heart.
One of the verses read during the sermon tonight brought an image to mind of me and Jesus, on the last day. I’ve grown so much, and I can confidently say that I see myself standing next [...]

I’m Just Sitting Out Here Watching Airplanes; Gary Allen February 7, 2008

Sacrifice Hurts January 21, 2008

Following Christ is not safe. This isn’t the first time I’ve heard people say that. Even now, I say it with residual tones of bitterness. But also with a better understanding, I think, of the truth. Jesus never begged for anyone to follow him. He told them the truth…. that Life was in Him, but [...]

Just to Sit Still Would Be A Sin December 29, 2007

so my mom got Hairspray for christmas. Great musical, if you’ve never seen it. definitely recommend it. This is a song from it. Just the lyrics do not do it justice, but the last few stanzas are amazing. “There’s a struggle we have yet to win… use that pride in our hearts to lift us [...]

God Must Be Busy December 21, 2007

Heard this song on the radio yesterday. made me sad. and for some wierd reason, made me think of matthew 24:3-8, and a sermon I heard a couple of weeks ago. (i’ll post the link if I can find the correct sermon audio). It’s not that God’s busy, but that these things (although they [...]

How long (will I weep?) December 19, 2007

Like a bluebird with his heart removed
Lonely as a train
I’ve run just as far as I can run
If I never see the good old days
Shinin’ in the sun
I’ll be doin’ fine and then some
How long, how long
Woman, will you weep?
How long, how long
Rock yourself to sleep
I’ve been doin’ time in a lonesome prison
Where the sun [...]
