Music for a dreadful Friday

It’s dark, dreary, I’ve worked overtime for the last 12 days, and I have five more to go.

I’m listening to comfortable music right now. These lines from Andrew Peterson are a balm for my weary soul.

I've been thinkin' about my home
I've never been but I will, I know
Meadow green and the river wide
Valley deep and the mountain high

The saints of old are singing now (Shiloh)
My ears are ringing with the sound (Shiloh)
But greater still, as clear as day (Shiloh)
I can hear my Savior saying
I can hear my Savior saying
I can hear my Savior say

"Come home, come home and rest awhile
Come home, come home and rest awhile"

Good reads

Since I read a lot, I thought it would be cool to keep a record of what I'm reading. I just finished Kitchen Confidential from Anthony Bourdain. How can something so foul be so tender and so sweet?

Is that too much from one little memoir? I just started a magical book. I'm wondering how I ran across it...must of heard about it on NPR. It's Acquainted with the Night by Christopher Dewdney. It's a Bloomsbury USA title. I just love their books. http://www.bloomsburyusa.com/catalogue/details2.asp?isbn=9781582345994&cf=0&search=night&isbns=&page=1 Night is something so basic. But yet it's magical. I love books that take a long look into something familiar. It's almost poetic when you look into the smaller parts of life. I can't wait to finish this book. I'm going to go rea...

Balance

Yesterday, I began this message, and all I typed was a "p".  I am wondering what I was thinking. Since I'm not sure, I will start over again.  It saddens me that I've only written a handful of posts this year. What have I been doing? Working and writing of course. I've said I was busy before, but I had no idea what that meant. I haven't been this busy since college. But those silly credit cards are almost paid off. Really...I've paid off 80 percent of the balance. That's a lot of money. And a lot of work behind it.  Anyway... balance is the key word. My wonderful friends that are part of the GSPN.tv community are working on living a more balanced life. You can visit  pursuingabalancedlife.com  to find out who's involved and read more about it.
