Regrets that linger in the air

Even with gas prices being outta control right now, I still enjoy taking a sunday drive to clear the mind. Lately I've been spending a lot of time thinking about what to some of the problems I had during ages 21 to 24. I'm kinda in the "man, I regret how I acted there" stage of the thinking. Every time in my life God has finally got through to me, this is how the change happens in my life. He smacks me upside the head with a truth filled two-by-four and then opens my eyes to the truth I refused to live out. I have many regrets that I can't take back. I have said many vicious things that still linger in the air above me. I've got my hands on the plow and I'm not looking back and I can't look back for I fear the will be the death of me. If I turn around now, I'll turn into a pillar of salt and ruin the dreams I have for me. My heart is filled with pain of many past things that I will, in time, learn from. Right now, I live in the humbling place of honest regret. That place where in the bible they would put on sack cloth, shave their heads, pour ashes and recite lamentations to God.

Another great youtube find

I think I have posted on here before how I continue to find great artists on youtube. This video I am posting is by Staffan Svahn. He has a very pleasant and beautiful way of playing the guitar. This is also a plug for Mac, because he records all his stuff on a Mac! Once again apple continues to prove they are the coolest. With out further ado here is "Summer Holidays" by Staffan Svahn...

Jon Foreman -Your Love is Strong - Spring EP















This is currently my favorite song...

Heavenly Father, you always amaze me
Let your kingdom come in my world and in my life
Give me the food I need to live through today
And forgive me as I forgive the people that wrong me
Lead me far from temptation
Deliver me from the evil one

I look out the window the birds are composing
Not a note is out of tune or out of place
I walk to the meadow and stare at the flowers
Better dressed than any girl on her wedding day

So why do I worry?
Why do I freak out?
God knows what I need
You know what I need

Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong
Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong
Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong

The kingdom of the heavens is now advancing
Invade my heart, invade this broken town
The kingdom of the Heavens is buried treasure
Would you sell yourself to buy the one you've found?

Two things you told me
That you are strong
And you love me
Yes, you love me

Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong
Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong
Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong
Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong

Our God in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Above all names
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us today our daily bread
Forgive us weary sinners
Keep us far away from our vices
And deliver us from these prisons

I decline to accept the end of man...

I decline to accept the end of man. It is easy enough to say that man is immortal because he will endure: that when the last ding-dong of doom has clanged and faded from the last worthless rock hanging tideless in the last red and dying evening, that even then there will still be one more sound: that of his puny inexhaustible voice, still talking. I refuse to accept this. I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance.

~William Faulkner
