dark side of you...

so many would say that i have a dark/mysterious side to me that is most evident through the music that I listen to. right now, that would make sense because the CD I can't stop listening to is HASTE THE DAY - DREAMER. I was reading today how Michael said it was their darkest CD to date, and how it just carries this mood throughout the whole CD. This is probably why I'm liking this one the best. The longer I know these boys the more I grow to love them and their music. The addition of Stephen, has only helped bring this band into the maturity and depth that has led them to a more reflective cd. I couldn't be more proud of these boys! God has blessed me with a friendship with them since pretty much the beginning and its great to see how far God has brought them! One part of the past 10 years that I would love to get back is our house in Chicago, and the many great memories that were shared between friends. someday, I pray that God would open up a new home so more people may be blessed.

right now i'm stuck on the song: Haunting

"we are but captives. we are diseased. we know that one day, we will be free."

its funny too, because this fall I got hooked on the show FRINGE. And now everytime I listen to Mad Man, it is that show that I think of. I think that it could have been a great song for the series! I suppose my mind is drawn to the unexplainable, not necessarily to make it fall into reason, but just to remind myself that God is so huge and complex that we will never be able to fully figure Him out, and when things are presented that we cannot explain, He can, but I suppose I like to try and figure them out at times too. I like it when things aren't just handed to me, I like to grapple with truth.

today, i'm challenged to pray for the leaders of this country and those to soon take over. We need to pray for God to not turn His face from this country, we are still in desparate need of Him!
