today is a good day for red bow shoes. i'm spending the day writing music- or at least working to... hoping to put some more tracks down in the studio very soon.
today i would suggest listening to JJ Heller's songs "Not Mine Anyway" and "Back Home" and reading some Scripture.
i baked a bunch of muffins the other day in my magic-maker. it's sometimes the simple things that can bring others welcome and warmth in their hearts.
dresses. it's one of the things that excites me most when the sun comes out for the first time after a long, gray winter. i had a giftcard and have been attempting to get a certain dress i found for a wedding this summer. you know... sometimes you just can't find the right one. they have this size and this size and it in this color instead of that one. ladies, you know what i mean- ahh well. there is a neat website i found- modcloth.com- that has quite an arrangement of dresses. i don't recommend all of them, but they do have some cute options out there. i'm not the craftiest of all people, but i saved some of the photos to possibly improvise with and make one or adapt one similar. check it out:
so in the midst of trying to study i thought i would share this with you.
Awestruck is a youth festival- ministry with music. this year the festival will be July 15-17. we have some wonderful new bands coming and guest speakers you won't want to miss. this is the fifth year that we have put this on. my good friend, Brandon Grelle,--who is also the director for the festival--worked to put this video together. i can't think of a better way to spend my time... in devotion and fellowship, praise and learning with youth and aults of all ages... coming together with music all for the glory of a God who loves.
in one of my readings today--James Joyce's "Ulysses"--there is a short dialog between two people. the first asks the second whether he is a believer or not. the second answers saying that he cannot fathom the idea of a personal, loving God. -well, neither can i... when i think of the struggles i've had, the doubts i've believed, the pride i've settled for, the selfishness i try to keep. it is miraculous. you could say it keeps us awestruck. and with that sneaky segway- enjoy the video...
