I'm on my way to work, listening to KLove like I do every morning.... and I hear these lyrics...
And love will hold us together
Make us a shelter to weather the storm
And I'll be my brother's keeper
So the whole world would know that we're not alone
and then it came over me... such peace. I couldn't get the smile off my face. It was to the point that I went immediately on iTunes as soon as I got to the office to find out what I was listening to and get the album. what I found out was it is Hold Us Together by Matt Maher. He's the same guy that sings Your Grace is Enough and Christ is Risen. Two powerful songs that have helped me in my journey.
Anyhow.... here is one of the videos off of youtube. Go ahead and listen, I'm sure it will make you smile like it did me.
A little something to help everyone get through "Hump Day".
I love Chuck Norris, that is all.
1. Chuck Norris does not wear a condom. There is no such thing as protection from Chuck Norris.
2. Some people wear Superman pajamas. Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas
3. Chuck Norris will never have a heart attack. His heart isn't nearly foolish enough to attack him.
4. If at first you don't succeed, you're not Chuck Norris.
5. Chuck Norris can set ants on fire with a magnifying glass… at night.
6. Chuck Norris doesn't breathe, he holds air hostage
7. Chuck Norris is the reason why Waldo is hiding.
8. Chuck Norris can win a game of Connect Four in only three moves.
9. When the boogeyman goes to sleep, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.
10. Chuck Norris has already been to Mars; that's why there are no signs of life there.
11. Chuck Norris invented a language that incorporates karate and roundhouse kicks. So next time Chuck Norris is kicking your ass, don’t be offended or hurt, he may be just trying to tell you he likes your hat.
12. Contrary to popular belief, there is indeed enough Chuck Norris to go around.
13. Chuck Norris has never won an Academy Award for acting... because he's not acting
14. Chuck Norris doesn't look both ways before he crosses the street... he just roundhouses any cars that get too close.
15. Chuck Norris eats eight meals a day. Seven are steak, and the last is the rest of the cow
16. When Chuck Norris plays Monopoly, it affects the actual world economy.
17. A man once claimed Chuck Norris kicked his ass twice, but it was promptly dismissed as false - no one could survive it the first time.
18. Chuck Norris brushes his teeth with barbed wire.
19. Chuck Norris can win a game of Trivial Pursuit with one roll of the dice, and without answering a single question... just a nod of the head, and a stroke of the beard
20. Chuck Norris once ate an entire bottle of sleeping pills. They made him blink.
This week over at S30P the writing prompt is Las Vegas. I really don't have much input, since I've never been but I have something in mind I think you will enjoy. Oh and by the way... if you are not already, got over to S30P and join up. It's a great networking site for Thirty-something bloggers.
I've never been to Las Vegas, never had any need or desire to. Right after the husband and I got married he was sent over for a work thingy with Firestone, but I got to stay home... how exciting. He wasn't impresses, but there isn't much that does impress him anyway. He is more of a logical left brain kind of guy. He would rather know how they wired up the lights, but I would rather just see them
I had always thought that I'd want to go, but after watching several seasons of CSI, I think I'm gonna keep my rear in good old Mississippi rather than chance being attacked in broad daylight and sold into slavery by some Romanian mobsters. Yeah, that shit really happens and it would happen to me... everything happens to me.
But there is one thing that when I think of Las Vegas that pops in my head... Clair de Lune by Debussy
Yeah, I'm a classical music nut anyway. I played the piano from the time I was six untill I was out of High School. My teacher's both did not believe in learning secular music... only classical. So I never learned how to play Stairway to Heaven or anything cool like that. I learned Clair De Lune, Moonlight Sonata, and Rondo Alla Turca. So, I didn't learn Claire De Lune all the way, but I'm still working on it and I will have it mastered... just wait.
Back to my story... Remember when Ocean's 11 came out? Well of course I didn't see it until way after it had come out on DVD ( I never go to the movies) and there was one scene, just one, that burnt a moment in my mind. The only reason I would ever want to go to Las Vegas in the first place.
Remember the end where they are all leaving, one by one, and Claire de Lune is playing in the background.... you get a glipse of the fountain show every now and then. I would show that scene, but I don't need to see all the guys trot off into the great unknow... I want to see the Bellagio Fountains water show.
yep.... I am a sucker for pretty stuff like that. I've seen the laser show at Epcot, I cry when I see fireworks. By the way the 4th of July Fireworks show over here is pretty awesome because they usually have the Symphony Playing the Overture of 1812. I love that kind of stuff. If I could just fly over there for the show and come right home... I think I would be cool with that.
