I dare not say I love music. Mainly because people who I hear use that phrase are one minute listening to Disney's Arabian Nights, and the very next listening to 12 after. Never heard of them? My point exactly.
But I am very passionate about the music I listen to, and am very intrigued by this 30 day song challenge...So here we go.
Day 01 - Your Favorite Song
An interesting question. One that probably fluctuates with time and places in life...But my overall favorite song of all time would have to be Deathbed by Relient K
This is a song I have tried for sometime to learn on piano. (the chords used sound very well just by themselves)
I love the lyrics used, the instruments, and the overall meaning. Redemption and the transition of earthly life to heaven being a massive celebration. Not normally a fan of 11 minute long songs, but the story has captivated me. (also- Jon Foreman makes a guest appearance as Jesus in the end...pretty awesome.)
This challenge has been first noticed (then fallen victim to interwebual thievery) by me on this blog. Definitely worth a read.

PRE-Marriage Counseling
Me and Jen have been attending pre-marriage counseling. To be honest, I was fairly nervous for the first session. I had this fixation in my mind that if I don't have the entirety of Ephesians 5:22-33 memorized, We would be shut down faster then the 757 after someone thought they smelled some snow somewhere.
As with most things I have done for Christ, it initially took some stepping out in faith. Getting out of that comfort bubble of familiarity with the confidence that God's got this, and He has never left me disappointed in this regard...ever.
Our situation is somewhat unique- we have our college pastor John McGowan from Mclean Bible Church marrying us. We are both really excited that he is able to do it, and it means a lot to the both of us. We would not be where we are today if not for his very insightful preaching on the scripture.
Thankfully, the nervousness has gone away. We both believe that marriage is not something you just walk into and figure out as you go along. It's so much more serious then that. SO many problems can be avoided with advice from those that have been there before. Not only that, but God is all about preventing as many foreseeable problems as possible. Not to say there won't be trouble, but why not try and prevent unnecessary problems, and live out a marriage of blessing to both yourselves and those around you.
Thoughts or advise on marriage?

One of our pastors Rob Shepherd of Waters Edge Church is supplying the in person marriage counseling. This guy is like a bible ninja...and not a lame ninja like Galford from the Samurai Showdown series, more like an awesome ninja that my sister Christina drew specifically for this blog...refer to pics below.

New Years Eve Post
One of my favorite things about blogging is writing a new years post!
This year was ridiculous....Many changes that seemed bad at first and ended up being good.
Got engaged to an amazing woman who I am looking forward to spending the rest of my life with.
Learned to trust that God has a plan and not to worry about things happening in the moment as much.
Looking back, overall it has been a pretty amazing year. Full of changes, growth, maturity and undeserved blessings. (emphasis on that last part) One that I am sure a lot of people will never forget....myself included.
New years resolutions? Hmm....To make myself more bold for Christ,(and in life) to be an amazing husband, to go to a real live race.(<--- random, I know)
I hope you have had an amazing 2010!
