Death is not Dying

I wrote a classmate just
last week a Happy Birthday
message on Facebook. And
today I found out she went to
be with Jesus in Heaven yesterday,
after losing her battle to cancer.



I wasn’t close with her, but I do remember
her in high school and writing a thing or two
here and there to her on Facebook.



It just hits too close to home when you have
things in common though.



She just turned 31 this year, was married
with two kids. Her parents still together,
which seems so rare these days.



And her death makes me wonder why her,
and not me?



Or why not someone else,
maybe even someone older?



We don’t have the answers or maybe
we do and it’s the answer that we don’t
want.



I really like the following video (6 parts) below or (one video) here, Death is not Dying.



I have watched/listened to it several times.



It helps me feel.



It makes me live fully.



It makes me love and
love more unconditionally.



It makes me want to
be a better person.



It gives me peace and hope
when I think of the loved
ones I miss.



And it makes me
cling more to God
and Jesus as my
Savior.







I really liked the quote by Martyn Lloyd-Jones: "Have you realized that most of your unhappiness in life is due to the fact that you are listening to yourself rather than talking to yourself?"



Definitely some food for thought.



You can find Rachel's Book List on the website Death is not Dying.



Please pass this along!



To all the men in your life too.



Open your heart to God.



"I am here to serve with Joy."

Metro Station

Newest favorite band
= Metro Station.




Yes, I must have been
living under a rock
to have not heard
of them before.




I heard them on
Pandora through
another favorite
band's radio station
Owl City.




I couldn't find
a great video
for the song
Now That We're Done
by Metro Station,
it is one of my
favorite songs.




I like this one too!









Ok, for the people living
under a rock like me...




Trace Cyrus and
Mason Musso are
the singers and
guitarist of
Metro Station.




Once I see the
last name Cyrus
I think, hmmm,
is he related to
Miley Cyrus?




Sure is.




Well, not by blood,
but they are step-
siblings being their
dad Billy Ray Cyrus
had daughter Miley,
and adopted Trace.




Btw, love this song
by Miley Ray...









P.S. Spared you the video with her skimpy clothes.




Your Welcome.




Love music.




Just not so sure about
the videos they come
out with these days. ;)

FIREFLIGHT

I don't know why
but I tend to lean
towards having favorite
bands with
female vocalist.



And NO,
I'm NOT a lesbian.



That looks like a double negative
doesn't it!?



Hey, I'm married to Word Geek
and I notice those weird
language things way too often.
I'm still NOT a lesbian.



Maybe I like female vocalist
because I used to dream of
being a singer
when I was a kid.



Or maybe it is easier to
imagine myself
coming up with
the lyrics.



Just the right words.



I don't know.



Either way.
FIREFLIGHT
is one of my
favorite bands EVER!



Love, love, love
the new
acoustic version
of their song.



Unbreakable.








And here
is the original...
