Tune Tuesday 9

I'm on a K-LOVE kick again, so I'll just make a list of my favorite songs at the moment:

1.Everything Good- Ashes Remain
"You're everything good, everything true
When all the world is fading, You're everything new
You are my eyes, when I can't see
When all the world is broken, you will always be
Everything good."

2.Do Everything- Steven Curtis Chapman
"Little stuff, big stuff, in-between stuff
God sees it all the same
And while I may not know you I bet I know you
Wonder sometimes does it matter at all
Well let me remind you it all matters just as long as you do
Do everything you do to the glory of the One who made you."

3.East to West- Casting Crowns
"I know You've cast my sin as far as the east is from the west
And I stand before You now as though I've never sinned
But today I feel like I'm just one mistake away from You leaving me this way
Jesus can You show me just how far the east is from the west."

4.Trust in Jesus- Third Day
"One of these days we all will stand in judgement for
Every single word
That we have spoken
One of these days we all will stand before the Lord
Give a reason for
Everything we've done."

5.Someone Worth Dying For- MikesChair
"... I wanna believe that
I'm not just some wandering soul
That you see and you don't know
Yeah I wanna believe, Jesus help me believe that I
Am someone worth dying for."

6.Strong Enough- Matthew West
"You must, You must think I'm strong
To give me what I'm going through
... Well maybe, maybe that's the point
To reach the point of giving up
Cause when I'm finally at rock bottom
Well, that's when I start looking up
And reaching out."

7.Untitled Hymn (Come to Jesus)- Chris Rice
"Sometimes the way is lonely
And steep and filled with pain
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain... then
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus and live."

8.Stronger- Mandisa
"'Cause if He started this work in your life
He will be faithful to complete it
If only you believe it
He knows how much it hurts
And I'm sure He's gonna help you get through this."

9.7x70- Chris August
"I remember running down the hallway playing hide and seek
I didn't know I was searching for someone to notice me
I felt alone and undiscovered
And old enough to understand
Just when I'm supposed to be learning to love
You let me down again
... God picked up my heart and helped me through
And shined light on the one thing left to do
And that's forgive you, I forgive you."

10.Everlasting God- Lincoln Brewster
"You do not faint You won't grow weary
You're the defender of the weak
You comfort those in need
You lift us up on wings like eagles."

Film Friday 6

I know this post is going to show up under Saturday since it's past midnight, but to me it's still Friday until I go to bed.

A couple of weeks ago I watched To Kill A Mockingbird. I'm a sucker for old movies; I love everything about them; the faded or no color, the way the actors used to talk, the period, and the realness and passion displayed on the screen. To me, much of today's film production seems so fake and forced, unlike those from the olden days where it's as if you're watching a home video. I was first introduced to To Kill A Mockingbird in either middle school or freshman year of high school. Some books and/or movies, like Speak, Brave New World, and The Secret Life of Bees, I felt an automatic connection and love for the story. With TKAM, I didn't fall in love until I recently watched the movie again. Before, I don't think I quite understood the content, but now that I'm older, I have more appreciation for the issues that were presented. I think it's a great movie to share with your kids, as long as they are old enough to handle the grown-up nature of the storyline, because it's important to teach those that punishing someone for a crime due to their color/ethnicity/religion/etc. is wrong and unfair. I urge you to watch this movie and read the book. If you have, do it again. This is one classic that will always be a favorite of mine.

20. What is your dream car?
I've always wanted a Jeep, but now that I have it, (and know all the problems they often have) my new dream car is the Nissan LEAF. It runs completely on electricity. How awesome is that?!

8/5/11
21. Tea or coffee?
I don't really drink either, but I prefer coffee. With lots of sugar and milk.

8/6/11
22. Lemonade or chocolate milk?
Ooh tough one. I love both, so it depends on my mood.
