• Currently Something Wicked This Way Comes By Ray Bradbury see related

  Random Thoughts

  • Time to get started with the random, and I have no idea where this will go.
  • The idea of Faith & trust has been rolling around my head a lot lately. Do I trust God enough, do I beleive He is who He says He is? Do my actions say so? Do I believe God is good, kind and not out hurt me? Do I trust Him enough to let go of the things that weigh me down? Where is my attitude in all of it? Truth is, I say I believe, say that I trust; but reality is that I rarely live that way. More often, I spend time trying to figure things out on my own rather than rest in His easy load. So my goal this recent time is to rest.
  • Do you remember the song "Iris" by the Goo-Goo Dolls from the movie "City of Angels"? Everytime I hear that movie, I remember how I felt when I saw that movie, memories from that season in my life. It's a cathartic song for me in that sense. At the same time it is also a song that moves me even still in these moments.....and now I want a pear.
  • WalMart was selling 8 packs of 20oz Coke Zeros for 2.50 this week! It made me supa happy.
  • Just took one of those dumb Facecrack quizzes asking when I would be married. It said I won't be married until October of 2011. Geez, that kinda stinks. But...I suppose at the rate I'm going that's better than never.
  • It really is hard to not feel like you're accomplishing something good when you're listening to some favorite tunes. Pandora has enlightened my work hours these last few nights. I just pop on my favorite stations and work through the paperwork, read, chill and enjoy the night. Oh yes. The only problem is that the music they align with the Kings of Leon just really don't match. I don't understand that.
  • Let me just say that getting to lead worship, live and on stage is a humbling experience. I really cannot walk away not feeling infintely small and humbled by God. The last couple of times I've had the privledge of leading, God's shown Himself big in our gathering and it is breath taking. My only response is to be small. I love that...and I love Him.
  • Thinking of going to Nashville in a few weeks with a friend...anyone know of fun things to do? I hear that there are lots of interesting things to do....you get to help out with the trip planning....so...go ahead, tell me what you love about Nashville.
  • Mom started chemo last week, and will be going on until December sometime, so please keep her in your prayers. She's been doing alright for this week so far, just tired a lot, but the next treatment is Wednesday, so she'll need to keep covered in prayer.
  • I wish there was a job that let me shop for books for a living. Ha....dream job, right? I just enjoy scouring bookshelves for used books. But I guess really I'm just looking for books that interest me. So maybe it wouldn't be fun to look for other people. Except that I love getting history books for other history buffs or other book worms. They get excited like me. Although, I'm putting myself on a book ban til at least Thanksgiving, unless it's a book for book club or bible study. No more fun books. I've got too many to read right now anyway. A LOT of books to read.
  • Today was a good day of sleep, minus the dog-barking, and floor above me being hit by balls. Other than that, it was good. And I've got two coke Zeros to keep me caffeinated for the night...let's hope it works.
  • Somewhere, somehow I want to go see Star Trek again. Once was NOT enough.....let's hope it gets to the Dollar Theater soon and I can find someone to go with me. If not, i'm soooo going alone. :D I do love that our Dollar Theater is pretty decent 'round here. Not like the one back in Texas that was so ghetto and gross.
  • Just finished "The Host" by Stephanie Meyer, started "The Four Loves" by CS Lewis and "Something Wicked This Way Comes" by Ray Bradbury....after that, I'm going to finish "Dune" by Frank Hebert and "The Sacred Romance" by John Elderidge...that is, if I don't get distracted along the way. I believe we chose The Four Loves by Lewis as June's book club pick...so pick up a copy if you're interested! I borrowed it from a library!
  • Music Recomend: Tyrone Wells. I really cannot tell you how much I love him. Seriously....if you like Coldplay and Jason Mraz...it's like a very cool combo of the two. And lyrically solid. It's just good stuff. You can find him on itunes. Songs to check out "Seabreeze", "Home", "More", "Sink or Swim", "All Broken Hearts", "Falling", "Dream Like New York"....and so many others....
  • Alright...there's so much more to say, but for now...this is ti.
