Song of the Week

World at Large----Modest Mouse

Ice-age heat wave, can't complain
If the world's at large, why should I remain?
Walked away to another plan
Going to find another place, maybe one I can stand
I move on to another day
To a whole new town with a whole new way
Went to the porch to have a thought
Got to the door and again, I couldn't stop
You don't know where and you don't know when
But you still got your words and you got your friends
Walk along to another day
Work a little harder, work another way

Well, uh-uh, baby, I ain't got no plan
We'll float on maybe would you understand?
Going to float on maybe would you understand?
Well, float on maybe would you understand?

The days get shorter and the nights get cold
I like the autumn but this place is getting old
I pack up my belongings and I head for the coast
It might not be a lot but I feel like I'm making the most
The days get longer and the nights smell green
I guess it's not surprising but it's spring and I should leave

I like songs about drifters, books about the same
They both seem to make me feel a little less insane
Walked on off to another spot
I still haven't gotten anywhere that I want
Did I want love, did I need to know?
Why does it always feel like I'm caught in an undertow?

The moths beat themselves to death against the lights
Adding their breeze to the summer nights
Outside, water like air was great
I didn't know what I had that day
Walk a little farther to another plan
You said that you did, but you didn't understand

I know that starting over is not what life's about
But my thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth
My thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth
My thoughts were so loud

his love never changes.

John 16:33 I have told you these things, so that in me (Jesus) you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]


this morning as i was on the way to church i was feeling really unmotivated to go. i had gotten no sleep last night, and was feeling very cranky. but then i realized i had to go anyways to take Tory and to meet with Sean and Melissa afterwards. so this message at church basically slapped me in the face. every has opinions sometimes others voice theirs more then they need too. and when they do sometimes it makes me angry, it makes me angry to see who my best friend was in high school, who i knew for three years, who came to church with me, who was in my small group, who i spent every day with, trusted with my life, is now a complete stranger. how can someone go from a Christ follower, my best friend, someone i looked up too, to someone who now believes in living life with no morals. it just frustrates me. like what is the world coming too? this morning me and my friend were watching MTV, and the show was called baby high, a school for pregnant girls, like seriously? anyways, i am rambling now. back to the main point, the message at church this morning slapped me across the face. the pastor talked about staying faithful to God. something that I haven't been doing for the past two years. my junior year i went on an awesome mission trip to Memphis TN which opened up my heart. six months later, i was back to a normal teenager, getting drunk and living life with no morals, and plenty regrets. the pastor said this morning "shame on you, the first time, shame on ME, the second time" Ive definitely let myself down knowing the outcome, but doing it anyways. In the bible Joseph was responsible, sensitive, very spiritual, had integrity, and the most important he never gave up. My role as a youth leader to be responsible, spiritual, and most definitely have integrity. I struggle with gossip and i know i do, but the sad part is I'm doing anything to help myself. so starting today, i am going to stop gossip and try very hard not to do it. I refuse to give up. I mean what is enimen never picked up a pen and paper? Would he be a famous rapper? probably not. but he did not give up. Joesph was defeated over and over again, and he never gave up. He relied on God, he trusted God, and God provided for him. If for one moment i stop, we stop thinking about ourselves,and what so and so is doing, and start thinking about God our lifes will be changed.
