Hey there peanut butter, how you doin'?

Philippians 1:3 to 11

I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart; for whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God's grace with me. God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.

And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.

I normally don't like rap but...

I really like Lupe Fiasco. This is my fav song called "I Gotcha"

My buddy David Story wrote this amazing song that really captures my thoughts about girls at this point in my life. The song is called "The Day She Arrives"

Save some time to waste a little of your life on me
I just let go of the only breath that I was guaranteed
I'm walking backwards, all my certainties have come and gone
But there's still something that I hope to stumble upon

I can't say that I'll be ready
I just hope I'm still I'm still alive
And live to see the day that she arrives

I'll make it by
My survival is not in her hands
She's not my savior
I'm not so sure she's even in my plans
But if she arrives I won't deny her entry to my soul
But if and when she comes I hope there's plenty of life left to go

Don't waste your life getting here
Waste your life on me
Don't take your time arriving
Time is taking me

I love you Radiohead

Life is not a story about me

"I've learned, too, that I don't really know very much about anything. I mean, I used to have all these theories about life. I thought I had everybody figured out, even God, but I don't. I think the woods, being away from all the clingy soot of commercialism, have taught me life is enormous, and I am very tiny in the middle of it. I feel, at times, like a droplet of water in a raging river. I know for a fact that as a grain of sand compared in size to the earth itself, I compare in size to the cosmos. I am that insignificant. And yet the chemicals in my brain that make me feel beauty when I look up at the stars, when I watch the sunset, indicate I must be here for a reason. I think I would sum it up this way: life is not a story about me, but it is being told to me, and I can be glad of that. I think that is the why of life and, in fact, the why of this ancient faith I am caught up in: to enjoy God." ~ Donald Miller

The Country - Billy Collins Animated Poetry

I was born to be a fiddler in an old-time string band

For your enjoyment. My two favorite Old Crow Medicine Show songs, "Wagon Wheel" and "Down Home Girl"

To live life without regret. This is my new want. To be able to look back days, weeks, months and years from this day and not have a moment where I say, "I could of done things better." Simple and to the point right? I think so too.

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

Sister Winter

Oh my friends I've
Begun to worry right
Where I should be grateful
I should be satisfied

Oh my heart I
Would clap and dance in place
With my friends I have so
Much pleasure to embrace

But my heart is
Returned to sister winter
But my heart is
As cold as ice

Oh my thoughts I
Return to summertime
When I kissed your ankle
I kissed you through the night

All my gifts I gave everything you
Your strange imagination
You threw it all away

Now my heart is
Returned to sister winter
Now my heart is
As cold as ice

All my friends, I've
Returned to sister winter
All my friends, I
Apologise, apologise

All my friends, I've
Returned to sister winter
All my friends, I
Apologise, apologise

All my friends, I've
Returned to sister winter
All my friends, I
Apologise, apologise

La la la la la . . .

And my friends, I've
Returned to wish you all the best
And my friends, I've
Returned to wish you all the best
And my friends, I've
Returned to wish you all the best
And my friends, I've
Returned to wish you a happy Christmas

To wish you a happy Christmas
To wish you a happy Christmas
To wish you a happy Christmas
