song of the moment


I've been telling my dreams to the scarecrow
About the places that I'd like to see
I say "Friend, do you think I'll ever get there?"
Oh, but he just stands there smiling back at me.

So I confess my sins to the preacher
About the love I'm be praying to find
Is there a brown eyed boy in my future? Yeah.
And he says "Girl, you've got nothing but time."

But how do you wait for heaven?
And who has that much time?
And how do you keep your feet on the ground?
When you know that you were born
You were born to fly.

My daddy, he is grounded like the oak tree
My mama, she is steady as the sun
Oh, you know I love my folks
But I keep staring down the road
Just looking for my one chance to run

Hey, 'cause I will soar away like the blackbird
I will blow in the wind like a seed
I will plant my heart in the garden of my dreams
And I will grow up where I wander wild and free.

Ohhh
But how do you wait for heaven?
And who has that much time?
And how do you keep your feet on the ground?
When you know that you were born
You were born to fly.

So how do you wait for heaven?
And who has that much time?
And how do you keep your feet on the ground?
When you know that you were born
You were born to fly.
Yeah
You were born to fly, fly, fly, fly

Steve Harvey's Introduction of Jesus

Steve Harvey's Introduction of Jesus.



this week i learned


  • How much I need my Sabbath
  • I'm not as strict as I think I am.
  • Sometimes you have to be strict and lay down the rules for your students - it's for their own good.
  • College football is great!
  • Great friends empower you
  • Being a part of a team that supports you - empowers you
  • I am some body's hero
  • When explaining new phrases to others - it's best if you leave out other new phrases. For example: The term 'Shawty' is not understood when you say: "You know - like hey bo." Best to explain it - "It's like saying - 'hey girl.'"
  • I can handle a drill and hammer with the best of them.
  • Decorating your living space makes it more like home.
