so Simple...

( I could be a professional )

I was sure by now
That You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say "Amen"
and it's still raining

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God
Who gives and takes away

I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For you are who you are
No matter where I am
Every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise you in this storm

I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry You raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can't find You

I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth
















Happy Anniversary to me

( :D Spring Hill :D )

A person reared in a Christina home, who has absorbed the faith along with other family values from trusted parents, will one day face a crisis that puts loyalty to the test. She many have had religious experiences; many have felt something of the closeness of God. Without warning, that sense vanishes. She feels nothing except doubts over all that has gone before. Faith loses all support of feeling, and she wonders if she has been living under illusion. At such a moment it may feel foolish to hold on to faith regardless. Yet, as Ignatius counsels, now is the time to “stand firm.” Faith can survive periods of darkness but only if we cling to it in the midst of the darkness.
- page 91

“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!’
- Matthew 25:21



You did a good job Grandpa. We love you and miss you but we know that you are now sharing in your master's happiness.

( so this is Christmas... )

Good-bye QB2.



I love you.

You are missed.

We happened upon this car on our way out of the Third Day/Toby Mac concert. I also had the good fortune of see the owners of this car later on that night. They were non other then the masked individuals that were in the crowd.
Between songs the lead singer of Third Day (Mac Powell) saw these two in the audience, one had a Bush mask on, one had a Kerry mask on. They almost got on stage with that stunt too.

( With out further a due... )

I went to a Toby Mac/Third Day concert at EMU Thursday. I think it was called the Live Wire tour. Anyways, it was my first “official” concert and I must say I quite enjoyed myself.
Here are some pics from the concert. I didn’t get any of Toby Mac cause I was too far away for my little point and shoot digital camera go get anything good. However, by the time Third Day came on we had moved closer and I was able to get some shots.

( enjoy )

This is dedicated to one of the most fascinating individuals I know: JOHN HILL
