Father's Hands

I was helping Dad in the garden today when I had the most amazing thought. I was watching Dad pull out this tiny plant with such delicacy with his huge hands and suddenly I thought this is just like our Heavenly Father. I was thinking about how our Heavenly Father so gently enfolds us in his hands to help us grow. I don't know how he does it, but I know it is with the same tenderness Dad used to plant.

Maroon 5's Been Replaced

I know, strong words for a title, but it is true. Recently I had the wonderful experience of going to a Blue October concert. If you recall a year ago, I posted something about loving their music and now they have replaced Maroon 5 as my number one. I have been meaning to post this for a while, but there is just something about the music. I was listening to their latest album on the way home from work the other day and realized the reason why I love their music is because I have felt many of the same things. There are days when I am angry, sad, happy, or speculative. I don't, I feel as though you have to truly understand what it means to be utterly depressed and wonderfully happy to hear the beauty in the lyrics.
