neuronal misfires...
and other randomness
Take nothing that I write at face value. And yet, nothing I write has any particular depth. So where does that leave us...
On the way to Wal-Mart. I am thinking about what I should be doing with the next several months. What will my options be, what choices will I have or not have, that kind of thing. Behind me is a guy on a motorcycle. Leather jacket, racing patches, roundish open faced helmet and a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. What would it be like to be THAT guy. Hard to tell through the rear view mirror, but I imagine he is happy and without stress. He turned right at the stoplight and rode off to his imaginably perfect life. And ahead of me, a rear window sign on an SUV that reminds me that "God Loves You."
A church sign reminds me...or rather teaches me..."The Will of God will not send you where the Grace of God cannot protect you." Like it, and sounds true enough. The sending part though, can be very difficult. Faith assures us that Grace covers us, but being a standard issue human, it's tough for me to rest assured. Guess that's why it is called faith...
Wal-Mart is the same as ever. Well, not quite the same. The lines are not overwhelming because they actually have more than one lane open. Wal-Mart is a pain, can be depressing, frustrating, and is something I tend to avoid the place. Still, I don't really mind going. Sometimes the complaining of it is just fun and is expected...
Do you think that ones susceptibility to peer pressure decreases with age? I think it does. and so do you, don't you. Everyone else thinks it does, why don't you? How does it feel to stand out in a crowd - and not in a cool, I am a rock star way - but in a I am a disturbed odd sort of fellow who doesn't believe the obvious. I knew you agreed with me on this...
If I could have a superpower, it would be teleportation.

10 Songs
I have absolutely no musical talent. Simple fact. I am amazed by those who do have musical talent. Songwriters and musicians can reach out and touch our hearts in so many ways, like no others can. I think it is a common experience for people to hear a song and something about that song will hook them. Then there are those special songs that come around only rarely - those songs that seem to be written just for you. The song hits you, you almost feel like the artist was watching over your shoulder and decided to sing about your experiences. It speaks to the commonality of human experience and our reactions to life. Anyway, here are a few of those special songs that have touched me in the last few years....
1. Beauty From Pain by Superchick
2. Pure by Superchick
3. We Live also by Superchick
4. Come My Way by Skillet
5. Jesus, Jesus (Holy and Annointed One) by Skillet
6. Imperfection by Skillet
7. Fingernails by Skillet
8. Breath You In by Thousand Foot Krutch
9. Last Words by Thousand Foot Krutch
10 Wish You Well by Thousand Foot Krutch
