Me: I have to wait TWO weeks to find out what happens?!
Darren: This is why I never watch new episodes as they air.
Me: That's it. I'm tweeting @EddieMcClintock.
Darren: So that you can get a restraining order?
Me: No, so I can tell him this is unacceptable and to fix it.
Darren: So that you can get a restraining order.
Me: I will not! How am I supposed to wait this long? I'm tweeting him.
Darren: You'll still have to wait two weeks. You just might be spending part of it in jail.

Darren: It's going to be short on the coconut.
Me: It's okay, we have chocolate chips!
Darren: Uh, no.
Me: What's with your hatred of chocolate?!
Darren: It's a chocolate cake!!!
Me: Your point?
(This is probably about the 15th time I've tried to add chocolate chips to the top of this cake.)
It doesn’t matter what you’ve heard Impossible is not a word It’s just a reason for someone not to try Everybody’s scared to death When they decide to take that step Out on the water It’ll be alright Life is so much more Than what your eyes are seeing You will find your way If you keep believing I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains Hope that doesn’t ever end Even when the sky is falling I’ve...
You lift me up when I am weak Your arms wrap around me Your love catches me so I’m letting go You lift me up when I can’t see You heart’s all that I need Your love carries me so I’m letting go
Lift Me Up, The Afters
It’s alright It’s okay I won’t worry about tomorrow For it brings me one more day Closer than I was to you
It’s Alright, Third Day
Companions as we are in this work with you, we beg you, please don’t squander one bit of this marvelous life God has given us… . Our work as God’s servants gets validated—or not—in the details. People are watching us as we stay at our post, alertly, unswervingly … in hard times, tough times, bad times; when we’re beaten up, jailed, and mobbed; working hard, working...
Waiting for the sunrise Waiting for the day Waiting for a sign that I’m Where You want me to be
Lift Me Up, The Afters

If You washed away my vanity If You took away my words If all my world was swept away Would You be enough for me? Would my beating heart still sing? If I lost it all Would my hands stay lifted To the God who gives and takes away If You take it all This life You’ve given Still my heart will sing to You When my life is not what I expected The plans I made have failed When there’s nothing...
At twenty years of age I’m still looking for a dream A war’s already waged for my destiny But You’ve already won the battle And You’ve got great plans for me Though I can’t always see
‘Cause I got a couple dents in my fender Got a couple rips in my jeans Try to fit the pieces together But perfection is my enemy On my own I’m so clumsy But on Your shoulders I can...
This time I finally see The reason why, I can’t do this alone, It took some time and concentration, To believe it, this I know I need to build my faith sometimes, But I am so comfortable in line, I’m up, there’s no more time, To try to mess with this design Tonight’s complete, Everyone’s asleep, And I wanna say these words to You, I’ll be Your hands, take me as...

Painting My Life Story
I was out riding with some friends today and we came to a part in the trail where we were forced to go single file, which left me thinking.
Dangerous, I know.
But I was thinking about how my life is like this big giant canvas that I can paint on whatever story I want.
Granted, sometimes someone walks by and smears a part I really like, or splatters the wrong color across it, but in most cases I...
