Answers Part III and Shopping

  

 

Hi everyone. Just a quick entry ( yeah, right ) before I`m off to church.

Jenny threw out a few more questions for me. First one: If you dedicated a song to your daughter what would it be? Wow, you`re all so good at this question thing. I`m stumped. I would want it to be the very best for my daughter, so I am going to pick a song we sing at church called Lord I Lift Your Name on High.

Lord I Lift Your Name On High
Words and Music by Rick Founds

Lord I lift your name on high
Lord I love to sing your praises
I'm so glad you`re in my life
I'm so glad you came to save us

You came from heaven to earth
To show the way
from the earth to the cross
My debt to pay
from the cross to the grave
from the grave to the sky
Lord I lift your name on high

It`s the first thing that came to my mind. My first and foremost desire for her life is to trust in Jesus in everything that she does.

What song makes you cry every time you hear it?

I`m not a big cryer when it comes to songs, but one song that always gets me emotional is Jesus Take The Wheel by Carrie Underwood. Love it! There`s also a song by Savage Garden called Two Beds and a Coffee Machine. An unlikely title for a beautiful song, it`s about a woman who flees an abusive relationship with her small children.

And she takes another step
Slowly she opens the door
Check that he is sleeping
Pick up all the broken glass and furniture on the floor
Been up half the night screaming now it's time to get away
Pack up the kids in the car
Another bruise to try and hide
Another alibi to write

Another ditch in the road
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Wonder how I ever made it through

And there are children to think of
Baby's asleep in the backseat
Wonder how they'll ever make it through this living nightmare
But the mind is an amazing thing
Full of candy dreams and new toys and another cheap hotel
Two beds and a coffee machine
But there are groceries to buy
And she knows she'll have to go home

Another ditch in the road
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Wonder how I ever made it through

Another bruise to try and hide
Another alibi to write
Another lonely highway in the black of night
But there's hope in the darkness
You know you're going to make it

Another ditch in the road
Keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Silent fortress built to last
Wonder how I ever made it

Jenny`s last question is: Do you believe in soul mates? I`m glad you asked this. No, I don`t! I think this term has given people the unrealistic idea that there`s this perfect person out there waiting for them somewhere. It goes right along the lines of "the grass is always greener." I am romantic at heart, I believe in love and that a deep, caring nurturing relationship between two people is very attainable.... But, let`s face it,  people who get along well and have been together for a long time in a good relationship do so because they are committed to doing so. They learn to compromise and overlook faults. They communicate well and are sensitive to each other`s needs. That`s my take on it, anyhow.

 

Today I bought Clay Aiken`s new CD. I haven`t had a chance to listen to it yet. I love his new look with the dark hair! I also got a new aqua sweater and a rust colored shirt - one of whichI am going to have to put on rather quickly and get to church. Bye!!
