Summer Soundtrack

Where did my day go?  Wow.

So while waiting for Haley to fall back asleep (I've been working on not rocking her completely back to sleep at night, so it's been a very up and down few hours for me tonight...), I've been working on my mixed CD.
Here is what I've come up with so far...

1. Two Weeks by Grizzly Bear
2. Cooler Than Me by Mike Posner
3. Secrets by One Republic
4. Dirt Road Anthem by Jason Aldean
5. If It's Love by Train
6. A little Bit Stronger by Sara Evans
7. Dog Days are Over by Florence and The Machines
8. Honey Bee by Blake Shelton
9. Doin' That by Clyde Carson
10. The Lazy Song by Bruno ( per Ian's request, it's his favorite)
11. Rolling in the Deep by Adele
12. Good Life by One Republic
13. Days Like These By Jason Aldean
14. Half of My Heart by John Mayer
15. White Flag by Dido
16. Are you Gunna Kiss Me or What by Thompson Square
17. Run Run Run By Phoenix
18. Teenage Dream by Katy Perry
19. Whatever it Takes by Lifehouse

Well that was fun, and took way more time than it should have.  I put way to much thought into my Mixed Cd's.  Next on my "keeping it old school" to-do list is to get some pictures printed.

Well 4th of July weekend is finally approaching.  I am not a personal fan of the holiday.  It usually hot as heck out, and fireworks tend to be a waste of money in my opinion.  However, I do enjoy watching them, and I do enjoy food.  We have a busy busy weekend.  Two family parties, a friend party, and a little lake get-away.  I'll be trying to enjoy every second of it as Ian returns to work this week after completing his 8 weeks off.  That went by really fast.

Well it's 4 a.m.--and blogging while half asleep is somewhat dangerous. Haley sounds like she has been out for a solid 5 minutes, so I think it's safe to return to my bed.

I hope everyone has a safe and fantastic holiday weekend.

Until next time....

Fruit & Root Connection: Tangled Up

Certainly, I've expressed my aversion to hyper-spiritualized language before. It often feels contrived, lacking authenticity—a facade of piety. Perhaps it's projection. Maybe jealousy. Or it could stem from a sense of disillusionment with the Christian community. But every so often, amidst the noise, a truth resonates deeply. "There is a root and fruit connection between heart and behavior. People and situations do not determine our behavior; these things provide an occasion where our behavior reveals our hearts." - Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands I've been navigating through my anger, confronting myself in the mirror. What does this anger unveil about my own heart? Surely, they aren't as enraged with me. In fact, they probably don't spare me a second thought. If anything, they—as sincerely as they can muster—bemoan my status as an apostate. So pitiful. My fruit is anger. And too often, I'm tempted to point fingers elsewhere as the source of my...

Should I Stay or Should I Go

At the time, deciding to leave felt like the most agonizing part of the whole ordeal. In hindsight, a few years of prayer journals were filled with distressing agony over desiring direction and reconciliation.  So much turmoil and emotional pain all the time. But we were constantly told that was to be expected. Hard was good. Hard truths. And iron sharpening iron. But in reality, We were all enduring death by a thousand paper-cuts. In reality, it was spiritual abuse.  In July of 2022, I sat in a lawn chair in California. It felt like a million miles from home.  We had been traveling the US, and hadn’t been home in weeks. I sat there, eating my bowl of chili.  As wonderful as the trip has been, I started to miss home. In my reflections. I counted my blessings. Home was good. Except one thing, I had a sense of dread when I thought about church. My chest would go tight. And my body felt shaky. I craved Jesus. I craved worship. I craved devotion. Being in God’s creation,...

If Your Happy and You Know it Clap Your Hands....

Alright y'all, I need to post an actual blog post.  It's been awhile.I guess I have said " writers block".  Everytime I've sat down to blog, I've gotten this nasty attitude, like I just want to rant and complain.  I'm not a fan of giving a bad mood more than it deserves or letting people get on my nerves enough that it bleeds in my blog in the most passive-aggressive way possible.  So I won't go there this time.  Focusing on what I'm thankful for has been such a great practice, and has helped me avoid the above.  So here goes nothing.....I'll update a little bit on everthing I suppose.... Finally, life is beginning to slow down.I am so appreciative of the fact that the moving/settling in process is over ( only to do it all again in T minus 5 months....) In theory, there should be a big hole where our next house will be soon. For some reason I doubt that they will break ground this week, but I would be happy if they did...I'm stressed and ...
