Time of Change

Well the Olympics are over and these are some of the best games I have ever seen. From Phelps miraculous fingernail finishes to both the American women and men 4 x 100 relay disqualifying to Matthew Mitcham from Austrailia upsetting the Chinese diving dynasty in the last diving competition to a May-Walsh-Dalhauser-Rogers foursome gold, these games were amazing and I am super sad to see them over.

Now, my son will soon be here and it has become more real to me than ever. Mostly because during this whole time of pregnancy, I have always thought, well, we still have a while because we still have the Olympics to come. But now they are over and we are doing a 30 day countdown. To add even more emphasis, our church is doing a 30 day countdown in a new series that will culminate 2 days before we are due. There is a lot of change on the horizon. I am going to go rest now.

New Music Thursday

My friend over at Be the Fruit has a special column every Thursday and calls it Idolatry Thursday. I drew some inspiration from him and threw in some of my own superficiality and thought I would create New Music Thursday. This is the first installment and hopefully my little post will help expose my readers to all sorts of musical art that is alive and inspiring or at least just cool.

Miranda Lambert's latest More Like Her is this week's suggestion. It is a beautiful, vulnerable display of a softer side of Miranda. Now, I know some people will not like this song because she is not threatening bodily harm against anyone in this song. However, give it a listen and see if it doesn't just sound very real.

Life's Moments


Life was made for these moments. If you don't know what I am talking about, go here and watch. It is the single best finish I have ever seen in any Olypics. This race will be up there with Mary Lou, Keri Strugg, Paul Hamm and the 1992 Dream Team. Sports, TV, and real life drama does not get any better than this!
