Help Me Write My Next Song

Things Going Smoothly? Give it a minute...
So I was in the doldrums on Tuesday. Simply because I felt ugly. And I have a lisp. Lemme explain.Everytime I hear a recording of myself, I hear a lisp. My sister assured me that I didn't. It's slight, but everytime I sa… -
Wanna Hear My Song?
Ok so I haven't done the whole Garageband recording thing like I said I would, but I figured out that if I record video in "compressed" mode on my Canon Powershot, then I can upload it onto Xanga and the audio quality i… -
Easter Miracles
The fact that Easter is a miracle in and of itself should be enough. Our salvation, what Jesus did and went through just to know us, that is the biggest miracle in the history if the world. It's everything. But because o… -
Your Turn
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier.your turn....:)(and I totally ganked that one from the Killers, so let's see if y'all are more creative than me) -

Hang Out
"Any social engagement with the opposite sex is potentially romantic. After all, we don't fall in love with people we don't hang around with, but with people we do." -- J. Budziszewski -
Poor Me
"Poor me" Don't you see? It's pushing me AwayI don't feel sorry For you Or what You're going throughMy listening ear Has turned deaf Empathy is now ApathyYou attempt To attract With your whine And your cheeseBut all I wa… -
Should homeschooling be illegal? Why or why not?
Uh. No. I'm actually offended by the wording of the question. I guess this has something to do with that ridiculous law they are trying to pass in CA requiring mom to have a degree in teaching in order to educate their c… -
After Midnight
I realized that some of my best memories, some of the most wonderful, relational times have been after midnight. At Denny's. -
Waiting For Love
It’s such a hard thing to say I love youAnd it’s harder to keep it insideWanting the words to come outBut the heart won’t send out There’s a line that’s twisted again We’re all waiting for loveBut love keeps running away… -
Experiment
This week I'm going to try something a little new. Cuz you know what? Insanity is doing the same thing you've always done and expecting different results. I am tired of my insanity.Full immersion in the RIVER of God's lo… -
Ruined
Arg. My focus is completely shot here at work. I can't even think. All because of those eyes. -
Weekend Stuff
-- So I haven't listened to the Killers too much, but right now I can't get enough of them. Favorite songs so far "When You Were Young", "Read My Mind", "The River is Wild" and "Why Am I Still Counting?". Is it just me o… -
Bridal Cleavage: What say you?
I had a random thought pop into my head, and this being the place for random thoughts, I figured I'd go ahead and share.Is it ok for a bride to show cleavage on her wedding day? And really I'm not talking about a dress w… -
My Mind
On the corner of main street Just tryin' to keep it in line You say you wanna move on and You say I'm falling behind Can you read my mind? Can you read my mind? I never really gave up on Breakin' out of this two-star t… -
Small Town = Smokers
There has to be a survey or some sort of statistical data showing that the smaller the town, the larger the percentage of smokers. Not just smokers, but filthy chain-smoking, unhygenic, curse-like-a-sailor types who are … -
How To Kill A Crush
I need more ideas. Usually, I can just let these stupid things pass, being that I'm 28 and crushes are a fairly juvenile pasttime. Right now I'm really making a concerted effort to direct my affection to the One who is … -
Epiphany
So I had an epiphany last night. I'm currently listening to The Killers this week, and as I was driving home, listening to the Killers, a lightbulb went off. Being a chick, I tend to listen to....wait for it...chicks. Ye… -
Surrender
Surrender is similar to forgiveness: you have to do it daily. It's not an event or a one time occurrence. It has to be perpetual to be effective. It seems I'm finally learning this. One of the words this morning at was w… -
It's Funny...
Isn't funny how.......right about the time you want someone to show they care, they stop showing they care?....that one comment or gesture meant nothing before, but means so much now?....just about the time things start … -
Getting Back Together
This is a little hard to admit. I think in some ways I "broke up" with Jesus a while back. I can't say exactly when or whether it was conscious or unconscious. It was probably just a slow drift . I could give reasons, w… -
Luther on Love and Marriage
So Martin Luther is one of my heros. The man had some cojones, yes he did. If there is anyone who lived a life of courage, faith and Risk it was him. Not only that, he drank beer, cussed the devil (among others), and was… -
Youtube Hilarity For A Gray Day
So this guy I know, who's in a really rad band, made an "instructional" video for Souljah boy. Feel the satire. -

Caffeinated Humor
So my 17 year old coworker is not a typical teenager - he is about to graduate early, because he enrolled in the options program at his school in order to work at an accelerated pace. He will be done with high school in … -
Why Today Is Difficult
“The Bible says that before a child is formed in his mother’s womb, God knows him. It’s a life, a dream of God—which means that, since 1973, there have been 47 million dreams of God shattered in this country alone.”“God … -
Ayudame
So I hung out with the sibs last night - fun times with some yummy chicken tortilla soup, fruit salad and the movie Ratatouille. I also played some of the songs I've been writing so that my sister could critique. I cons…
