Sometimes

Here’s a few journal entries from today. One of these times I’m going to have to share some stuff that’s more polished. Hopefully sometime in March I’ll get to post some recordings – other than something recorded on my cellphone! ) Until then, I’ll keep posting bits and pieces of stuff as they come [...]

Distance

My roommate Scott is gone to Michigan this week to be with family and preach at his grandma’s funeral.

I wasn’t actually thinking of Scott (who would be glad to know this) – or anybody else in particular – when I wrote these lines tonight… Just about the ideas of distance and attraction.

Church life and Sundays

Today is Sunday and I got to thinking about being involved at church and in church-related organizations.

Those reading this who attend church regularly know that you can get very busy with church – even to the point of having practically no time left for anything else. I’ve grown up my whole life going to [...]

Not Sung Lasses

During the past twenty-four hours or so, I got some new music software (soft synths and some other stuff), started using Twitter.com, and went to see the movie “U2 3D” (not to mention a big chunk in the middle when I was at work and another smaller chunk when I was sleeping).

Eight lines from my journal tonight

I haven’t started working on any music for this yet. If this is going to be a song sometime, it will probably need some more words. Maybe another verse or two. I have a favorite line below… and my friend Scott has a different favorite. I’d really love to hear from a few more friends [...]

A few things from my journal today

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[This first one is a rather fanciful and abstract group of lines and I'm not sure who it's about...]

I’ve held your open hand before
As heaven streamed across the sky
I’d like to spend some time with you tonight

With first the evening goddess [...]

A couple new song drafts

I took a bit of time this weekend to work on doing a little writing. I got the start of a couple pieces yesterday and one today. One of the ones yesterday was a bit longer and the music is doing its best to be difficult, so I’ll refrain from imposing that on you for [...]

A whole lot more

Here’s something from today… I’m just excited about what God’s doing in my life and all over the place lately!

Even when I’m tired it’s hard to sleep
Can’t help but see the things not far ahead
and get a little eager
to keep moving on

I’m happy here but not content
I know You’ve [...]

Other dreams

I was thinking today about some things I want. Not physical things, but dreams and desires; good passions that were placed at the core of my being by my Creator. However, it struck me that these desires – though not bad in and of themselves – were getting out of balance. They had begun to [...]
