Just a thought that has been on my mind lately. When other people do things that I do not like or that annoy me to the point of anger, I attempt to look inside my own life and at the things that I do. More often than not, I find that it is probably a good idea that I did not say anything in the moment or act irrationally,as my life is full of holes and failures. I do not know what exactly brings this about (safe to assume the Higher power), but I am thankful for it none the less. Now, lest I sound haughty, I should interject here and confess that this is not always the case. I yell at someone for this, and I am guilty of the same. I reprimand some one for that, and I am again caught in the same behavior. It is a battle to look inward on a daily basis and constantly attempt to correct the wrong, and move on in the right. I believe that someday, while not on this earth, we will obtain this, and I am more excited than I can express. Until that day, I will attempt to keep my mouth shut and let someone else do the scolding. (He is much better at it anyway)
Tonight felt right. Baby steps to the elevator, baby steps are a motivator. Directions were discussed, plans were laid, and the next few weeks will hopefully lead to some incredible things. I am anxious for Canoes to take off. We are excited about where things are going and the pending interaction with friends, family and community in a new way. Be on the lookout for more updates on shows, recordings, hang outs etc in the not to distant future. Bed for now, another day He's given tomorrow, should He grant it. Peace brethren.
Getting back into the Singles ministry at church and it rules. It i s incredible how constant God is and how He is working even when we stray from Him. Hung out with sir Robert Chipman and lord Jarrod Geary, finer gentlemen cannot be found. Turned the heat on in my apt for the first time this fall and found out my window was not latching hence the "cold as balls" mornings. I am a regular handy man. Sherwood's new album "QU" is continually changing my life, as the past two albums and ep have done. Also the new Relient K dropped at an opportune time, and it is fantastic. Band is slow, trying to find consistent members can be hard. Jarrod and I are so similar minded in a lot of ways, we want to find someone with the same direction etc, and that is proving hard. We decided to play under the name "Canoes" and am anxious to start playing out under said name. I have been meaning to get back into updating this thing, however schedule and general laziness have teamed up to be quite the adversary. I will win yet! Life is moving fast, people come and go, and I miss a lot. While I'm there, I have an incredible family. For any of you who have not had a chance to meet and hang out with my family, you should. You will be hard pressed to meet a cooler bunch of people who love unconditionally (at least me and each other) and are the best overall. I miss them everyday I am not with them and wish I would have had this outlook when I was younger. When you come out to a Canoes show you can here the song "Family" where we play and sing about how sweet they are. Well morning will be here way to soon so I must retire for the night. I promise it will not be so long until the next post. Peace and Godspeed.
