Let's Part the Clouds and Show the World the Son!

Valerie introduced me to a new song this week. I can say that at this moment, right now, at 7:03pm October 9, 2010 - it is my favorite song. ;) So I thought I would right to share it with you! Why not, right?

*inspirationsal music*

Anyway. This song's lyrics are - simply put - "BRILLIANT" (quoting valerie).  So listen and read the lyrics. Then tell me what you think! :D

Signing out from Breckenridge!!! IT IS SO PRETTY HERE!

I like, like to be liked
And no one likes to hear the truth
And I've seen what the truth can do
So I tried, tried to downsize
The part of You that's hard to tell
But the layoff didn't go so well
Beat around the burning bush
Till that fire went away
God was once so palpable
Before the shades of gray

We might as well just fold our hands
If we can't call a spade a spade
Cuz we will miss the heart each time
If we won't ever shoot them straight
These pleasantries shading me and you too
Let's part the clouds
And show the world the Son

We think, think we are helping
By giving You a little flare
But it doesn't matter what You wear
Cuz runways aren't Your forte
You prefer the narrow road
Even though its not en vogue
The gospel looked so very cold
One night as I passed by
So I gave him my best sugar coat
And dressed it in a lie
We might as well just fold our hands
If we can't call a spade a spade
Cuz we will miss the heart each time
If we won't ever shoot them straight
These pleasantries shading me and you too
Let's part the clouds
And show the world the Son
Oh, Oh, Whoa

This living water will not quench us
If its watered down
Its not our place to hide again
This treasure that we've found

We might as well just fold our hands
If we can't call a spade a spade
Cuz we will miss the heart each time
If we won't ever shoot them straight
These pleasantries shading me and you too
Let's part the clouds
And show the world the Son

L'Shanah Tovah!

Rosh HaShanah is coming! It is crazy how time has flown by. It's September! This time of year always brings a smile to my face. :D All the memories every year come back, and I just can't help it! There is 1 short week left until our family celebrates the "Feast of Trumpets" and wish everyone a good year. I am so excited!!!!!

       When we wish each other a Shanah Tovah, a good year, we think of the Hebrew word shanah, or year, and extend greetings for a good year. But the Hebrew root - shin, nun, heh - has another meaning as well, from the verb le-shanot, to change. Further, the same root - shin nun heh - also denotes repetition, as in the name of the fifth book of the Torah, Mishneh Torah, the repetition of the Torah.
        In other words, a shanah tovah, a good year, is a year of le-shanot, of change, of doing things differently and better. And it also denotes a year of repetition, of relearning all the old lessons that our tradition of truth and wisdom has been teaching us for many centuries.
       Shanah is a unique word. And may the new shanah be a unique year, one in which there is both repetition of the old, and change for the better. ~Rabbi Dov Peretz Elkins

Cute Ciddos! ;)

Last night I had the wonderful privilege of babysitting. I LOVE BABYSITTING! I always have and always will. Taking their pictures are almost just as fun. To capture the smiles and bundles of joy in a second is what makes me smile....and sometimes laugh! One of the little girls last night told me that when she grew up she wants to be a babysitter. How true is that? I giggled and gave her my consent on such a fabulous choice. =]
