Your World is Crashing Like a Wave, But Mine Was Born To Be Saved

So I was thinking here....


The world...is...so encompassed in sin, as are we, the people that live here.  I just got to thinking about our jobs as Christians are to spread the word of God and further the kingdom.

However

you know one reason why it doesn't talk about in the Bible what else we should do, besides spread the message and further the kingdom, is because Christians are relatively a select few.  Most people WILL go to hell.  Most people WILL NOT accept Jesus.  Most people WILL fall...and some Christians will fall from grace because they no longer want Jesus.

And I'm thinking I need to get my crap together, because although grace is a gift, I don't have to accept that.  And if I believe grace has been given to me through the death of Jesus, but I am not having a relationship with Him, fellowshiping with Him, or bearing my own cross, am I really taking that free gift at all?  I would say probably not.

So I'm going to make more effort to be better, but only because my God wants it, and I want it, and I'm willing to let Him hang with me and work with me.  Not that I'm saying I'm more powerful than God, but how much easier will it be for Him to work with a willing heart?  It'll be much easier.




I love the gifts and talents I've been given, and I love my Creator, and I don't like to disrespect Him or make Him unhappy.  Our hearts are connected, and He doesn't need to constantly remind me of what I'm doing wrong, becuase I already know it when He tugs on my heart strings.   This was for me, but if anyone else can relate here, awesome.  Drop a line.

Small Town Anthem

I've been listening to the old stuff I made with Small Town Anthem and it's really good.  You should check it out on iTunes.  The CD is called "Feelin' In Me" and it's available to rock your face off.  I just played drums and had a kickass time in the studio, but its all good.

In any case, I've been workin' on some new tunes and doing the difficult job of thinning out the ones that suck.  It seems that they're all great to my ears at one point in time, then suck later, so this is an extremely difficult process for one person.  Otherwise get ready to hear it soon, and hopefully it'll melt your face and rock your socks off, though I would certainly hope that your face wouldn't be melted and you be sockless, but it's not my fault, you know?

Until then, remember that tomorrow is "Talk Like a Pirate Day" so get your pirate on and make me proud!

No Internet + Much Work = No Blogz

So this is a song I'm starting on.  I enjoy the lyrics and the message.
It is called "Fell In Love on a Sunday"



I'd like to tell you from the start
in the instance my words fall apart
I'll breathe

and blow you kisses in the shapes of hearts
every breath will be a song
I'll breathe

and feel the wind begin to rush
as my cheeks start to flush
when I tell you what you mean to me

and when we start to touch
as we both start to blush
I'll keep my innocence until proven guilty

in the event we fall
staring in the face of sanctity
I'll breathe

and in the event we stall
despite trying to appease each other
I'll breathe

and if it hurts so much
that you cry yourself to sleep
I'll breathe (for you and me)

and in the event it's good
and better than you thought it could
be...I'll sleep

and feel the wind begin to rush
as my cheeks start to flush
when I tell you what you mean to me

and when we start to touch
for heaven sakes I'll blush
and tell you what you meant to me



Keep your eyes out.  I'll be posting more soon.

It's been a few days

So I'm not really sure what to write about today.  Lately my life has been a bit busier than normal, though I can't really say how much more productive it has been.  I've been haivng lots of song ideas and not being able to choose which ones to use.  I've been letting God work a lot more, and I've had the intense desire to include Him in my music making, having a partnership you know?  It's pretty awesome, I gotta say.

Otherwise things are pretty normal.  Been working at the BBY, been looking at TV's and such.  I got decked out with a few end tables today, and tomorrow I'll be getting a new desk, so hopefully that means my productivity will also go up, but time will tell.

I'll be sure to keep in touch.  Tomorrow is the Renaissance fair, so hopefully I'll have an update with some sweet stories.

Also, I won 30 bucks at Mystic tonight, so I feel blessed :)  Have a good one errbody!
