Stain My Eyes

I'm just picking out the blackberry seeds

Live from The Wire. Hope you love it!

Junior

Former NFL player Junior Seau was found dead today after an apparent suicide. Depression is heavy, share the burden. Friends: be present, serve each other, and love.

Things

You’re not entitled to them; you’re privileged with them.

Oceans Have No Favorites

1 Well, I’m afraid, God. I’m not totally sure where the next step is

Or even if said step is gonna take me any closer to heaven

What if the worst happens? And I walk West until I hit the Pacific

And I wash away in the ocean along with all of my habits

5 Good or bad, it’s no matter, oceans don’t play favorites

I just want to be able to know I’m doing your will with confidence

The worst part isn’t the drowning so much as it’s that you got what you wanted

Please don’t retract the calling, the writing, the screaming that I thought was sacred

9 I’ll try to give so much every night that my blood and sweat stains the floors

I promise I’ll do everything to make sure nobody remembers my name before yours

Happy Easter

To be separated from God is to be a son with no father

It’s like being an ocean bed with no blankets of water

There is one that took our place, His view of God’s face was severed

He became the drought so that we could drink from His side forever

Pushing It

The beauty of Christ isn’t simply that He died for your sins. He also conquered death through resurrection. Therefore, not only are your sins atoned for, but death has NO sting. If you’re not the church-going type, please consider going to church today. You may hear something that makes sense.

Gravity

When your world is turned upside-down, thank God for gravity.

We Are All Wrong

Found this today. Just some thoughts from a couple of months ago.

1 When something gets some attention

I’ve gotta find the flaws in it

Cause 6 million souls in just two days

Have seen apparent damage that moves them to work for heart change

5 It’s not to say that it was perfect

Or that I’ve pledged an allegiance

But the fact that I can’t escape

Whether wrong or not, our opinions are always God-ordained

9 I could set one off with just one word

A brother is set to draw his sword

But it looks like we all believe

God’s word ain’t verses, instead it’s one man versus everything

Happiness Is

Can I come home

Home so I can watch my kids grow

Implications

Paint me so I look like a drunk

I am done

I am done

Ain’t marriage great when there’s one in a cage

‘81, oh my, how you’ve changed

Litigation is required

I have to protect my funds

So I’m checked out

And made my own checking account

But you have to file

Cause I won’t file

I heard from God that I’m right and you’re not

That’s right, you were wrong this time
