Truth and Peace

This time don't be afraid to cry
let the tears run down your cheeks
cause I will take you far away
as you slip into your dreams

I'll take you to a place I have prepared
Its so alive and free
A place where the lies cannot tear
A place full of truth and peace

So rest your head in my strong hands
I can hold you until you are well
And even then you will barely stand
Because this world will tear you down

But I'll take you to a place I have prepared
Its so alive and free
A place where the lies cannot tear
A place full of truth and peace

I'm not sure if that is finished or not, but those ended up being the words that I needed to hear last night and so thats what came out. I think it may turn into a nice little song.
Sometimes it is nearly impossible to continue hoping and praying for something when it seems like it will never happen. If we could change people's hearts it would be so much easier than waiting on God to do it, but then I know that God knows exactly what he is doing and I don't.

I'll just keep waiting and hoping and trust that He is good. I know He is.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! We have much to be thankful for.

Go Hogs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One Year

Wow!

One year of marriage under my belt. It went by so fast. So many things happened: first car purchase, first home, first long period apart. Its been quite a trip and I am looking forward to many many many more years of it.
Rebekah and I were able to go back to the place we went on our honeymoon for our anniversary and it was amazing just like the first time.
It really is true when they say that you love each other more as time goes on. I see things in her now after a year that I had no clue about when we were married, and I assume that will continue to happen for the rest of our lives, because we are both constantly changing. The great thing is that we get to change together. Of course it hasn't all been perfect. It is tough sharing your life with someone else.... cause that what it is; sharing. It takes such a sacrifice to not only put her before me, but to put God before both of us. It is such a struggle daily, but I can feel him making me a better man because of her influence in my life, and I can see God making her more radiant because of how He can love her through me.

On another note,
I am really missing playing music right now. This one concert a month thing is really getting old. We have to figure something out soon or I am going to go crazy. We have all this new material and no time to put it together or rehearse our live show. I'm having a hard time being patient with God in all of this. I'm ready now.

We have a new guitar player playing with us right now and his name is Stephen. He is ridiculous, and he is tasteful which is sometimes rare with really good guitar players. Most of the time they just want to shred it up instead of finding their place in the song, but Stephen is finding his place more and more every time we practice (which is like once a year so it still may take a while.)

Also, Dave nearly died yesterday. I haven't checked but I'm sure he is going to write about it on his page which you can navigate to from this page. I'll let him tell it because he will do a better job, but it has something to do with a big bite of chicken, choking, and a cute girl giving him the Heimlich.

Alright now i have to go finish unpacking this house.

Later.
