Yet Will I Sing

I just purchased this song on itunes without ever hearing it. I'm listening in amazement as the lyrics seem like my prayer from moments ago.


Let this be the only love song I write
May You be the only Love in my life
I asked You to draw me, I said I would run
So though I walk through the valley, yet will I trust
I asked You to call me, I said I would come
So though I go up the mountain, yet will I run

Though my song be taken from me
Yet will I sing; yet will I praise You
Though the joy be taken from me
Yet will I laugh; yet will I shout unto You
Though the light be hidden from me
Yet will I walk; yet will I run after You
Though my heart be slain within me
Yet will I trust; yet will I follow You

‘Cause I know whatever You do, You do through the eyes of mercy
And nothing can be added to it, nothing can be taken away
There is a time for every purpose under the heavens
So though my weeping may last for the night
Oh how Your joy, it comes with the light

Audra Lynn - "Yet Will I Sing"

Bowling

Today is Sunday.

That is all. Just tired of not updating my blog.

Happy Birthday Bro

Happy Birthday Greg! I believe this next year will be filled with more grace and peace then you've ever experienced. I believe you will find "Things That Make You Smile" everyday, and I believe that in a year from now when we ask our traditional "What's the most important thing you learned this year?" question, your answer will blow us out of the water.

Last Monday

Last Monday...we walked to a local coffee shop, sat outside, layed on the beach, walked in the park, wore flip flops and smelled like coconut sunscreen.





Today...I'm bundled in sweats, under a blanket, looking out my window at snow. I'm going to choose to be amazed at God's creativity rather than bitter at the fact that I'm in Pennsylvania and it's snowing in March. I could always get out the sunscreen, sniff away, close my eyes and pretend.

How Many Alligators

It sounds like the beginning of a bad joke. How many alligators walked into the bar with a priest and an atheist? One, because it ate the priest and atheist. I know. I just made it up. It's terrible. Yesterday we went exploring at Myakka State Park, or as Aunt Beck called it - Kyakka. It's a great place where the alligators and boar roam free, as well as the picture hungry tourists. On the informational signage, there is a button you can press to tell whether or not certain things about alligators are true. One of the buttons was about running in zig zags to get away from an alligator. The recorded response, in a high pitched woman's voice says - "No silly. If an alligator attacks run straight back from where you are!" So tell me, how many alligators do you see in the picture below. (And yes, there is also an alligator in the picture with the warning sign.)

My Parents

I love my parents
and all their odd mannerisms and sayings
that usually embarrass me in public,
but secretly make me glad they aren't like everyone else.






And I really love the fact that seagulls like them too.
