There's Something In the Air

2005-05-27T00:02:00.000-05:00

This is the shortest song I've ever written. I actually wrote it on the way to one of my classes while attending Minot State University. Again, very simple but sometimes in our lives we need to remember the simple....remember the basics. Like tonight at softball. We were trying too hard to make plays and things weren't going good. Then we settled down and just did the simple stuff and things came together and we won. So...moral of the story.....practice more!!! Na....keep it simple.

There's something in the air that's calling me
It doesn't seem to care how I feel
I've asked You once or twice
Did my words not come out right
Still that something in the air is all I need
Lord Your spirit is all I need

I wrote this song a few years ago and the song lasts about as long as it takes to read it. It's simple....but honest. There is nothing more powerful than the love we give to others, because He gave us that love first, and He will always love us....

Running though my mind
Images of when my heart was blind
Forgetting what You said
And all Your promises

I found it hard to see
That You still could love inspite of me
I turn away with shame
Then You took all the blame

And You carried me
You took my world and set me free
All of You...none of me
You carried me, You carried.....me

Face to Face

2005-05-05T00:27:00.000-05:00

Today I got my first sunburn of the year....funny....it's not as exciting as it sounds. Here's a sample of my latest song...more to come later.

Do you want to go to a place that I don't know
How to get to there from here
It's a chance we'll take
Before too long it'll be too late
And all our clouds will reappear

I just want to meet Him face to face
Then all my doubts will be erased

Maybe it's time for all of us to find
What it is that makes us whole
I'm trying hard to leave this empty world of make-believe
And trust in You for evermore

All I want is to meet Him face to face
And ask Him how long will it take
For me to put it all to rest
And enter in to His holiness

Serve the rhythm of the Lord...

A couple Sundays ago I was running sound for the youth band that was leading worship for 3 services throughout the day and at the end of the service the worship director said to everyone, "Serve the risen Lord", but to me it sounded like "serve the rhythm of the Lord" and I thought that was pretty cool. It didn't sound too weird because coming from the mouth of Craig it made sense...he is a musician through and through and he would be the kinda guy to say something like that. I think it's pretty cool and I'm going to keep using it. Maybe you too will find a use for it someday. God's blessings. peace.

I will listen

Music means so much to me....I'm always thinking about it. Writing it, listening to it....breaking it down in my head...in my heart. It flows from me like water from a fountain. Lately the stream has been flowing pretty stong but something is missing. Something is missing that's keeping it all from coming together. I'm I really ready for another band? Are these guys the ones that I can count on? Lord, I'm asking you to guide me through this time of my life. Help me be in prayer and to listen to Your soft, gentle voice. It's there....I know it is because You promised it would be. Show me the way, and I will follow.

I miss you....

There are days when you just need to cry out to a friend. Today is that day. Well...not so much all of today, mainly just right now. I'm tired, but I don't want to go to bed. I'm hungry, but I'm too tired to get something to eat. How pathetic am I. I never thought I'd be writing on the web...especially when no one will probably ever read any of this. I love my wife....she is my everything, and we don't see each other much because of work. I pray for the days when life was simple. But then, I'd be praying for what I have now...which is plenty. Who I'm I to desire more when I have nothing to give in return....such is life.

First time for everything

Walk by faith, not by sight
It's easier said than done
But every step in my brokenness
Takes me one step closer to my faithfulness
