In exile…

Thrice just recently came out with a new album…it is great… In my opinion they have some of the best “worship” songs out there. The song “In Exile” is my favorite of the album. It talks about this world not being our home. . Here are the lyrics for it as well….its pretty awesome…I highly suggest everybody check them out.

I am in exile, a sojourner
A citizen of some other place
All I’ve seen is just a glimmer in a shadowy mirror
But I know, one day well see face to face

I am a nomad, a wanderer
I have nowhere to lay my head down
There’s no point in putting roots too deep when I’m moving on
Not settling for this unsettling town

My heart is filled with songs of forever
The city that endures when all is made new
I know I don’t belong here, I’ll never
Call this place my home, I’m just passing through

I am a pilgrim, a voyager
I wont rest until my lips touch the shore
Of the land that I’ve been longing for as long as I’ve lived
Where they’ll be no penalties anymore

My heart is filled with songs of forever
The city that endures when all is made new
I know I don’t belong here, I’ll never
Call this place my home, I’m just passing through

A few nuggets

It has been a while folks, so sorry to keep all of you faithful waiting. Life is moving along pretty quickly as it always seems to. I just got back from Dallas got to hang out with one of my best friends I hadn’t seen in about 3 months, plus I got to see one of my favorite bands, Incubus. My brother has been in Conway the last couple of weeks, I always enjoy getting to hang around him. Really excited about being a part of what is going on at New Life Church (www.newlifechurch.tv) and Elevation (www.elevationblog.tv)

Just a few thoughts I have had lately

• Eternity really puts things in perspective
• Having all the knowledge and leadership principles written on your heart mean nothing if you don’t act on them
• Watch the way you talk to yourself. I am not very encouraging of myself
• “Thrice” is probably the greatest band ever invented
• Wife where are you?
• I think I am finally realizing how necessary failing is
