Not much to write about today. Things are good just going through a rough patch with a lot of truths spoken into my life. I went to lunch with Josh today and I asked him for some ideas of good convicting music and he reminded me of a band I had not listen to in a long time: Cool Hand Luke. No, not the movie...the band...see link below for gobs of information on this great little wonder. They are not so mainstream, I wouldn't go so far as to say indie but you know alternative christian rock. Though my other half is more of the expert on christian rock than I. Wikipedia can enlighten you further:

Anyway as I searched through their music and added what I desired to hear
one of the first songs that popped up was from their first album I ever owned “ Wake Up O Sleeper.” The song is titled Two Pianos. As I was listening to it I didn't bother to think of the lyrics and then it shuffled onto the next song. About 3 or 4 songs in I was back humming the lyrics to Two Pianos thinking what song was that where it said that. I searched for the lyrics and was amazed at how it spoke to me and my life. It was exactly what the Lord wanted me to hear.
You say to yourself,
"Nothing will shake me"
You take hold of the world to find yourself.
You find yourself so empty.
What have you let go of and for?
What have you let go of?
You were a brother before you were a king
when you're determined what will you be?
You were a tower lifted up so tall.
We have to gasp as we see the height from which you fall.
You wanna hide beneath the pretty paint.
You wanna be okay with everything.
You wanna be transformed and stay the same.
You wanna be dry in the rain.
I think through all of this the Lord is really going to rock my world. I am excited to see where I end up...hopefully at the end of the rainbow with a big pot of gold
until next time-
love , peace, and the holy spirit-
