Getting There

Well the sun sets in the west
But as fast as you go, how would you know
You're a busy boy, I guess
Who just wants the gold at the end of the road
Think of all you miss
Passing through like this

You want an answer as soon as you say a prayer
You want to land the moment you're in the air
Baby the living is all in the getting there

Don't be the first in every line
Now and then you can be at the end
'Cause there's only so much time
And you can't get back every minute you spend
You're not even sure
What you're running for

You want an answer as soon as you say a prayer
You want to land the moment you're in the air
Baby the living is all in the getting there

Think of all you miss
Passing through like this

You want an answer as soon as you say a prayer
You want to land the moment you're in the air
Baby the living is all in the getting there

The living is all in the getting there
Getting there

-- Terri Clark

"Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor... Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting."

- Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

A simple love

Understand this, my friend, and you'll have understood more than most:

He loves you, forgives you, and accepts you just as He made you.

With arms wide open, He showed you His love. Now, He awaits to embrace you with the same open arms. It is your turn to respond. So, go forth, go towards those wide open arms. I can hear Him call you, go ahead.

Our Father...

Our Father, who art in Lawrence,
Hallowed by thy game.

Thy bracket come,
Thy upset will be done, in Syracuse as it is in Allen Field House.

Give us this day our deserved game,
and forgive us our turnovers,
as we forgive Roy who double-crossed against us.

And lead us not into defeat,
but deliver us from East Coast bias.

For Kansas is the basketball kingdom,
And the tradition,
And the glory,
For ever and ever.

Amen!

What should I do with my life?

The answer lies here.

This is an incredible article that I think should be mandatory reading for everyone at some stage of their life.

I hate everything

He was sitting there beside me
Throwin' doubles down when he ordered up his third one
He looked around, then he looked at me
And said I do believe I'll have one more.
He said I hate this bar and I hate to drink,
But on second thought, tonight I think I hate everything.

Then he opened up his billfold and threw a 20 down
And a faded photograph fell out and hit the ground
And I picked it up he said Thank ya bud.
I put it in his hand, He said I probably oughta throw
This one away, 'cause she's the reason I feel this way,
well, I hate everything.

I hate my job, and I hate my life.
And if it werent for my two kids, I'd hate my ex-wife.
I know I should move on and try to start again,
But I just can't get over her leaving me for him.
Then he shook his head and looked down at his ring,
And said I hate everything.

He said, That one bedroom apartment where I get my mail,
Is really not a home, it's more like a jail,
With a swimming pool and a parking lot view. Man, it's just great!

I hate summer, winter, fall, and spring,
Red and yellow, purple, blue and green.
I hate everything.

I hate my job, and I hate my life.
And if it werent for my two kids, I'd hate my ex-wife.
I know I should move on and try to start again,
But I just can't get over her leaving me for him.
Then he shook his head and looked down at his ring,
And said I hate everything.

So I pulled out my phone and I called my house
I said Babe, I'm coming home we're gonna work this out.
I paid for his drinks and I told him Thanks, Thanks for everything
