The Words I Would Say

This song has awesome lyrics! I listen to it on the radio and it sounds quite a bit different than this video (where they are singing it live) but listen to the amazing words...

Among the Thirsty - "I'd Need a Savior"

Here's a GREAT song to get you going this morning...LOVE LOVE LOVE this song!

This boy's got moves!

This is hilarious...watch this boy dance!

Love my "mama" job

I mentioned in a previous post that Greg & Dakota were sick. Greg has a "cold" whereas Dakota has the flu I believe...he's got all the yucky symptoms anyway. They both spent the day in bed yesterday.

I've moved my computer desk from my bedroom out to the living room so I can work in peace without having to listen to the TV my husband loves to watch. Dakota made a pallet on the floor in the living room at my feet by my computer desk instead of laying in his bed or in bed with his daddy. I had to chuckle at this. He's 13 yrs old - that hard in-between age where he is beginning to want his freedom and make his own choices, yet he is still just a young boy...MY young boy. :-) Now here he is sick and he is curling up on the floor at my feet because he wants his mama to be close to him.
I was supposed to go to a concert last night with a friend. I ran to the store to pick up some food/soup, etc and while I was gone I called my friend and bailed on her and her teenage daughter. She is a mother and completely understood why I just didn't feel right about leaving Dakota.

When I got back to the house and told Greg what I had done he said "WHAT?! Hello!! I'm here!" I told Greg "I'm a mom, that's my job and I love it...so I'm staying home and taking care of our boy." There will be another concert down the road. I am slowly "losing" my children to life...they are all growing up and moving on (Praise God since that's as it should be!) so I'm not passing up this opportunity to love on and nurse my son back to health.

This is the group I was going to see last night - Skillet - I've seen them once before in concert and loved it. I must admit I LOVE Christian rock and enjoy going to these concerts. They are sooooo energetic!

How He Loves

I've been hearing this song on the radio a lot lately. This is one of those songs that just makes me want to lift my arms and praise the Lord! I LOVE this song! Hope it blesses you as much as it does me. Lyrics are below the song.


He is jealous for me
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree
Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy

When all of a sudden
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory
And I realize just how beautiful You are
And how great Your affections are for me

Oh, how He loves us so
Oh, how He loves us
How He loves us all

Yeah, He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves

And we are His portion and He is our prize
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes
If His grace is an ocean, we're all sinking

And heaven meets earth like an unforeseen kiss
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest
I don't have time to maintain these regrets
When I think about the way...

Cute Commercial - Roller Babies

Love how they do this!!

Combo #5

I am always amazed at what you can find on YouTube!

Dakota and I were driving to a friend's house on Saturday and he was telling me that he and his dad had gone to lunch at a Chinese buffet that day before I picked him up. Everytime I think about "Chinese buffets" I remember years ago when this email was circulating with Combo #5 - which was actually a parody of Mambo Number 5 (a popular song a long time ago.) I started humming the tune but I couldn't remember the words. I told Dakota I bet we could find it on YouTube...I was right! Here it is -

Frogs

There aren't many things I fear, but frogs is one of those things I just can't get past...I detest the sight of frogs! UGH! My blog friend, Rebekah posted this video on her her blog recently - had to share it - I would literally pass out if one of my children did this!

A Baby Changes Everything

I heard this recently through HearitFirst and I am loving this song!
Hope you enjoy it...

DNA

Let me first say I DO NOT WATCH Jerry Springer! Somebody emailed me this clip and I thought it was hilarious (in a sad sort of way)...wanted to share.

Amazing Strength!

These two men are amazing! Okay, they need to be wearing a little bit more clothing - but beyond that I was amazed at their strength!!

Give Me Your Eyes

I was listening to the radio this morning and I heard this song. I had heard it before but this morning I REALLY heard it. You know what I mean don't ya? When you REALLY hear a song for the first time and the lyrics sink in...
So, anyway, wanted to share it with you. The lyrics are below the video.


Looked down from a broken sky
Traced out by the city lights
My world from a mile high
Best seat in the house tonight
Touched down on the cold black tile
Hold on for the sudden stop
Breath in the familiar shock
Of confusion and chaos
Are those people going somewhere?
Why have I never cared?

Chorus:
Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me your heart for the once forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see

Step out on a busy street
See a girl and our eyes meet
Does her best to smile at me
To hide whats underneath
Theres a man just to her right
Black suit and a bright red tie
To ashamed to tell his wife
He's out of work
He's buying time
Are those people going somewhere?
Why have I never cared?

Chorus

Ive Been there a million times
A couple of million eyes
Just moving past me by
I swear I never thought that I was wrong
Well I want a second glance
So give me a second chance
To see the way you see the people all alone

Chorus

Imagine Me

I really like Kirk Franklin...I LOVE this video!

Logan, the Sky Angel Cowboy

This speaks for itself...grab your tissue. What a sweet, insightful 13-yr-old boy.
