Bridge Over Troubled Water

Something that Jesus was always talking about was that he would be there for us. Like a bridge he has laid himself down.

That is what he said; he died for us-for our sins. What that means to me is the ultimate sign of true love, that superscedes all other loves that we can ever know in this lifetime.

Additionally, as I am going through my own "troubled waters" it has a distinct meaning to me in my life right now. As maybe it means something distinctly to you, my readers.

I too, need all the friendships that I can muster up to help me deal with my personal need for someone, if not God; to help me lighten the load that I am having to bear at this time. Perhaps you, can relate to me as well.

In Jesus Christ's Holy name; Amen.

Bridge Over Troubled Water

- Simon and Garfunkel

When you're weary Feeling small When tears are in your eyes I will dry them all I'm on your side When times get rough And friends just can't be found Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down When you're down and out When you're on the street When evening falls so hard I will comfort you I'll take your part When darkness comes And pain is all around Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Sail on Silver Girl, Sail on by Your time has come to shine All your dreams are on their way See how they shine If you need a friend I'm sailing right behind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind

Let It Be

There are times in my life that I feel a bit lonely or a tad bit introspective. I think of those times as being very important to have, so that I can expound upon them and thereby get to know what it is that I am feeling.

Whether it be sad or happy or somewhere in between; all these feelings are real and are important to possibly identify where I am at. Sometimes I don't really know the answer to that question and I have found that, that is okay. Just, Let It Be.... Be at Peace.

Let It Be

-The Beatles

When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree,
there will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see,
there will be an answer. let it be.

Let it be, let it be, .....

And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light, that shines on me,
shine until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, .....

I Hope You Dance !!

Dear Friends,

There are some things I would like to speak to you about.

In essence what I would like to say is this:

Don't sit out on Life!!

Make sure you don't lose your sense of wonder and the humility to recognize the beauty that is around us.

Don't miss out on the opportunties of life and live with regrets... wondering where the time went.

And, as Lee Ann Womack says so profoundly; I hope you dance:

I Hope You Dance - Lee Ann Womack

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart
Leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out
Reconsider
Give the heavens above
More than just a passing glance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)

I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
Dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
I hope you dance
(Where those years have gone)

(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)

Love Is In The Air

As Valentines day approaches is seems appropriate to send a message of Love and happiness.

It appears from the Google Analytics, that you as my readers are enjoying my messages that speak of Music, Love and Gods Word. Therefore, I have chosen to share with you another song that speaks of Love.

LOVE IS IN THE AIR (John Paul Young)

Love is in the air
Everywhere I look around
Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound

And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes

Love is in the air
In the whisper of the trees
Love is in the air
In the thunder of the sea

And I don't know if I'm just dreaming
Don't know if I feel sane
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when you call out my name

(Chorus)
Love is in the air
Love is in the air
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Love is in the air
In the rising of the sun
Love is in the air
When the day is nearly done

And I don't know if you're an illusion
Don't know if I see it true
But you're something that I must believe in
And you're there when I reach out for you

Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound
And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise

But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes

SILLY LOVE SONGS

I think that songs have such an endearing way of speaking to others by use of music and lyrics.  Thusly, I send you some thoughts that are on my mind and have been spoken to us by these songwriters that are able to connect us indirectly to them.   These are the thoughts that I have for you at this time because my message is clearly; that love is not silly and love is all you need.

SILLY LOVE SONGS - Paul McCartney

You'd think that people would have had enough of Silly Love Songs.

But I look around me and I see it isn't so. Some people wanna fill the world with Silly Love Songs. And what's wrong with that? I'd like to know, 'cause here I go again I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you. I can't explain the feeling's plain to me; say can't you see? Ah, she gave me more, she gave it all to me Now can't you see, what's wrong with that I need to know, 'cause here I go again I love you, I love you. Love doesn't come in a minute,  sometimes it doesn't come at all I only know that when I'm in it It isn't silly, no, it isn't silly, Love isn't silly at all. How can I tell you about my loved one? How can I tell you about my loved one? How can I tell you about my loved one? (I love you) How can I tell you about my loved one? (I love you)

ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE -The Beatles

Love, Love, Love.

Love, Love, Love.
Love, Love, Love.

There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.

Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game.
It's easy.

Nothing you can make that can't be made.
No one you can save that can't be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time.
It's easy.

All you need is love.
All you need is love.
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need.

All you need is love.
All you need is love.
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need.

Love Is...

1 Corinthians 13 >>  GOD'S WORD ® Translation

4 Love is patient. Love is kind. Love isn't jealous. It doesn't sing its own praises. It isn't arrogant. 5 It isn't rude. It doesn't think about itself. It isn't irritable. It doesn't keep track of wrongs. 6 It isn't happy when injustice is done, but it is happy with the truth. 7 Love never stops being patient, never stops believing, never stops hoping, never gives up. 

What Christmas Means to Me

What does Christmas mean to you?

What it means to me is a bride doll from my mom, the Christmas songs that we learned at church, my daughter saying her first word, which was S-S-S-anta!

Christmas means thinking of my son having so many presents from me that he got overlayden with gifts and then got bored with opening them.  Until I realized that Christmas wasn't about how many toys...  but about the beauty of the moment.

But whatever Christmas means to you, whether it be happy or sad.  One thing I do know is that Christmas can be anything you want it to be from this day forward.  It's a day for love and laughter and the recognition that the world is a beautiful place.

We need to remember the reason for the season;  which I believe is about love, peace and angels wings.  

And my little loved ones whom I adore.
