Okay so there’s nothing new going on:-( I have such a boaring life.
Maybe if I ever do anything fun I will start to post more.

In the mean time, here’s a song…

When I think about this song, it brings back many memories of times I shared with one of my friends Brandon Lay (the guy who gave me the music to this song, and taught me to play it on the guitar).
And lots of emotions can be stirred because of the beautiful music or the wonderful voice of the person singing. But what was the writer of this song really trying to portray when talking about a blacksmith working on his creation, written from the point of view of a piece of metal that is being shaped? It is an analogy, and the writer was trying to say that though our lives may be painful and even seem intolerable at times, there is great hope for Christians, in the promise that God is shaping us into something that is more than we could ever ask or imagine. I hope this will minister to you.

The Hammer Holds
Bebo Norman

A shapeless piece of steel; that’s all I claim to be.
This hammer pounds to give me form; this flame, it melts my dreams.
I glow with fire and fury as I’m twisted like a vine, my final shape my final form I’m sure I’m bound to find.

So dream a little dream for me in hopes that I’ll remain, and cry a little cry for me so I can bear the flames. And hurt a little hurt for me; my future is untold. But my dreams are not the issue here, for Thee the hammer holds.

And the water it cools me gray, and the hurt subdued some how. I have my shape, this sharpened point; what is my purpose now?
And the question, it still remains: what am I to be? Perhaps some perfect piece of art, displayed for all to see.

So dream a little dream for me in hopes that I’ll remain, And cry a little cry for me so I can bear the flames. And hurt a little hurt for me; my future is untold. But my dreams are not the issue here, for Thee the hammer holds.

Well the hammer pounds again, but the flames I do not feel. This force that drives me helplessly through flesh and wood reveals,
a burn that burns much deeper; it’s more that I can stand. The reason for my life was to take the life of a guiltless man.

So dream a little dream for me in hopes that I’ll remain, And cry a little cry for me so I can bear the pain. And hurt a little hurt for me; my future is so bold. But my dreams are not the issue here, for Thee the hammer holds.

This task before me may seem unclear, but it my Maker holds.

Bless The Broken Road
Rascal Flatts

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn’t see how every sign pointed straight to you

Chorus:
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I’d like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You’ve been there you understand
It’s all part of a grander plan that is coming true

Chorus:
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

Now I’m just rollin’ home into my lover’s arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you

“1) You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine. 2)Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance. 3)Likewise, teach to older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. 4)Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, 5)to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God. 6)Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled. 7) in everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness, 8)and soundness of speach that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.” (Titus 2 1-8)
