Busy Friday Music Update

It’s a busy Friday. I just ate some amazing tomato bisque-ey soup that my wife made for lunch. Now I’m buckling down and getting a few projects done while listening to a fun playlist that I thought I’d share.

You’ll have to ignore the graphics on this first one, but check out an awesome tune by Denison Witmer called “Are You a Dreamer”

Next is an awesome Canadian, Coeur De Pirate with her song “Commes Des Enfants” If you’e a fan of Cat Power, or Regina Spektor, and speak French, you’ll probably love her.

I’ve also been listening to a lot of The Rest, but can hardly find any of their stuff online, so this mediocre quality video of “The Close Western” performed live will have to do.

Hope you enjoyed!

 

Quick Update

It’s been a month and a half since I last posted, and in that time, there’s been a few changes.

I’m married.
My wife is awesome.
The Lord is still amazing.
I love being married.
I’m working on a big volunteer project right now. So excited to see where the Lord is going to take it.
I think I want to go fishing at some point this weekend.
I visited Sleepy Creek State Park while on my honeymoon. It was completely amazing. Remote, beautiful….I definitely want to return there on a camping trip soon.

I think that that’s about it for now. I’m getting ready to head home and wait for Kristen to finish work.

 

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

Seriously.

 

The Theology of Heart

 

This is awesome

Seriously.

Watch it.

 

Laughing With

Regina Spektor just came out with a great new song/video about laughing with and  at God.

I was going to post a commentary on it, but I think that Ted at Boundless summed it up pretty well.  Though he didn’t touch much on the relevance of this song from a worldly or non-monotheistic viewpoint, I think it’s well written and sort of hits it’s message from a number of different religious viewpoints.

What do you think?

 

Today is a good day.

So why not post a few music videos for your enjoyment

Jeremy Enigk  – Canons

Dominc Balli – Warrior

Hope you enjoy those videos.

So my life is continually amazing.  80 days untill I marry the woman of my dreams.  The Lord has just proven himself faithful through his provision and blessing and presence time and time again througout our relationship.  I can’t even describe the range of emotion, from joy to awe to wonder and happiness that I’ve been experiencing.  We’ve been doing things like creating a registry, shopping for wedding bands, talking about the future, preparing for a life together….Its really quite awesome, in the truest sense of the word.

So go read here and check out how amazing the Lord is.  Maybe even read it twice.  Pretty amazing what He’ll do for just one man when he gives Him glory and calls out His name.  It is God who arms me with strength.  His Right Hand sustains me….yeah….vs 35…..think about it.

 

Engagement

Just wanted to let you all know that I am still here.  I’ve been staying busy with work, and looking forward to this next week, as it’s going to be the first week of work with no school and no days-long planning meetings.  Exciting!

And on top of that, I’ve been spending most all of my free time with the love of my life, planning our wedding!  I don’t really think I can mention Kristen without pointing out the fact that I fall more and more in love with her each day, and that she continually blesses me each and every day.

Mike at G & G Studio Creations took care of some amazing engagement photos of which a sampling can be found HERE.

Stay tuned for some more announcements about the upcoming wedding on September 6th.

Because I don’t really feel like typing out anything else, I suppose I’ll leave you with a random, good song.

Should’ve Known by Doug Burr

 

She said yes!!!

I’m going to marry the most beautiful person I’ve ever met!

HAHAHA!!!!

I asked her to marry me last night, and she said yes!

A song update.

Perhaps it’s unoriginal….. but hey, I couldn’t have said it better myself.

I am blessed.  The Lord is so good to me, and life is amazing.
