let it all out - relient k

let it all out
get it all out
rip it out remove it
don't be alarmed
when the wound begins to bleed

cause we're so scared to find out
what this life's all about
so scared we're going to lose it
not knowing all along
that's exactly what we need

and today I will trust you with the confidence
of a man who's never known defeat
but tomorrow, upon hearing what I did
I will stare at you in disbelief
oh, inconsistent me
crying out for consistency

and you said I know that this will hurt
but if I don't break your heart then things will just get worse
if the burden seems too much to bear
remember
the end will justify the pain it took to get us there

and I'll let it be known
at times I have shown
signs of all my weakness
but somewhere in me
there is strength

and you promise me
that you believe
in time I will defeat this
cause somewhere in me
there is strength

and today I will trust you with the confidence
of a man who's never known defeat
and I'll try my best to just forget
that that man isn't me

reach out to me
make my heart brand new
every beat will be for you
for you

and I know you know
you touched my life
when you touched my heavy heart and made it light

ps42

Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.
My soul is downcast within me;
therefore I will remember you
from the land of the Jordan,
the heights of Hermon—from Mount Mizar.

Deep calls to deep
in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers
have swept over me.

By day the LORD directs his love,
at night his song is with me—
a prayer to the God of my life.

I say to God my Rock,
"Why have you forgotten me?
Why must I go about mourning,
oppressed by the enemy?"

My bones suffer mortal agony
as my foes taunt me,
saying to me all day long,
"Where is your God?"

Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.

CHARLIE; See you soon.
CLAIRE; Be careful, Charlie, okay?
CHARLIE; Yeah.

"For my own part, I am not so well satisfied of the goodness of this thing. I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. -- I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I travelled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer. There is no country in the world where so many provisions are established for them; so many hospitals to receive them when they are sick or lame, founded and maintained by voluntary charities; so many alms-houses for the aged of both sexes, together with a solemn general law made by the rich to subject their estates to a heavy tax for the support of the poor. Under all these obligations, are our poor modest, humble, and thankful; and do they use their best endeavours to maintain themselves, and lighten our shoulders of this burthen? -- On the contrary, I affirm that there is no country in the world in which the poor are more idle, dissolute, drunken, and insolent. The day you passed that act, you took away from before their eyes the greatest of all inducements to industry, frugality, and sobriety, by giving them a dependance on somewhat else than a careful accumulation during youth and health, for support in age or sickness. In short, you offered a premium for the encouragement of idleness, and you should not now wonder that it has had its effect in the increase of poverty. Repeal that law, and you will soon see a change in their manners. St. Monday, and St. Tuesday, will cease to be holidays. SIX days shalt thou labour, though one of the old commandments long treated as out of date, will again be looked upon as a respectable precept; industry will increase, and with it plenty among the lower people; their circumstances will mend, and more will be done for their happiness by inuring them to provide for themselves, than could be done by dividing all your estates among them."

- Benjamin Franklin, The London Chronicle, November 29, 1766

#1- the night i met you

dessert recipe: grape salad

Here is a recipe my sister created for a sweet and delicious grape salad dessert. I made it for a work carry-in and everyone commented about how much they loved it!

Use different colored grapes for a colorful treat.

move/love

Check out this very clever tattoo by Steve Losh.

The birds represent 1’s. The spaces represent 0’s.

The arrangement of birds on the wires (with the flying bird) is:

01001101 01001111
01010110 01000101

Which means MOVE in binary (note for nerds: actually it translates to four numbers which represent those letters in the two most common text encodings [ASCII and UTF-8]).

If the flying bird flies away, it changes to:

01001100 01001111
01010110 01000101

Which translates to LOVE.

The boat was actually Plan C. 

The church was Plan B.

And Plan A was marrying her a long, long time ago. 

Pretty much the day I met her.

come & live

the following write-up is from friendswithbotharms.com:

Chad Johnson is a man not satisfied to just listen to the music- he wants it to grow legs. He wants music to become a catalyst for real change. He risked it all to pursue this calling, and his faith is a testament to what potentials can be reached through a community of like-minded people. I met Chad through a mutual friend Graham- who has been working behind the Come & Live mission since it’s inception. Based out of Nashville, Chad spent nearly the passed decade working for the Christian music label- Tooth & Nail and felt called to start his own label that is run as a ministry- to foster artists as missionaries through their music. When that invitation to artists was sent out, they were met with an overwhelming response and interest was gaining momentum without even a running website to their name.

It took an extraordinary amount of courage and dedication to see the early stages of running a non-profit music label until things really began to take off. Under their manifesto they say, “If we believe that our lives and music define our mission, then we should be willing to share it all, not under any financial obligation, but plainly given away as a gift. It’s one of the smaller ways we know how to spell “love”. Our artists are missionaries, spreading the gospel and worshipping our Creator while giving all they have to love others. Therefore I command you, “You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor” – Deuteronomy 15:11

It is a beautiful principle built on love and compassion. Please follow them and get involved as this idea spreads and becomes a movement.
