I really don’t know what to say about this clip. My first thoughts were, wow. Just watch, if you are/were a Nirvana fan like me, it stings a bit… but I promise you’ll get a bit of a kick out of it… make sure you check out the guitar solo…

Enjoy.

(it is funny… but I totally give the kids props for trying!!!  keep music and arts in the school….  good or bad!!!)

…and yes I’m still very excited! The ultrasound went very well and the Dr. said everything was looking good and progressing as it should! We went shopping immediately this afternoon and bought furniture for the room. Crib/Chest of Drawers/Changing Table… so we have the furniture, now is it pink? or red? or yellow? or green? decisions decisions.:) Thanks to all who have been praying and thinking about us! We really appreciate it all! Love 2 U!

This morning my wife, my parents and I went to get breakfast at The Poplar House. A great little dive for breakfast in Spring Hill. That was our plan for the day. That’s it. On the way back to the house we decided to do some shopping in Franklin and then head downtown and see what we could find to do. We saw a billboard for an Egyptian exhibit at the Frist Center. Sounds good, we will check it out. It was really cool and interesting. On the way out we saw there was an exhibit upstairs of photography. The photography was Pulitzer prize winners. I was expecting a quick run through to check out the “nice” pictures. Wrong. We spent more than an hour or so reading every caption. The emotions that I felt: Horrified. Disappointed. Ashamed. Sad. Mad. Happy. Excited. Disgusted. Embarrassed. Those are a few that I went through. I encourage you if you are in the Nashville area to check out this exhibit… I believe it’s in other towns as well, you can check out this page to see if it is in your town. Museums hosting “Capture The Moment: Pulitzer Photo’s”

What did I see that was so amazing? Life. Humanity. Inhumanity. Struggle. Success. Racism. Love. Violence. Death. Life. It seemed that the majority of the photos were depressing. I guess the photos that leave a lasting image in your mind are the ones that will change you or your outlook. I was at disbelief of how we as humans treat each other. It’s unimaginable- no words come close to describing how evil men and women can be. I don’t want to get morbid.. and I don’t want to get down on “life”, but this really triggered my mind racing and wondering why or how can this happen. I know the answer. We as a society are walking away from God more and more everyday. Sounds like an easy answer or “out”… blame it on God or lack thereof in people’s life. Sorry. Well not really. I don’t apologize for what I believe. Most of you know me, and you know I’m not a Bible beater nor will I show up at your house begging you to “meet” Jesus. I do hope that my life will reflect what I believe and my life will reflect how Jesus has made my life complete. I’ve always tried to be politically correct when talking about what I believe. To other Christians I look like I’m embarrassed or ashamed. I’m not. I respect other beliefs, I don’t agree with them, but I won’t be like others and just shut them out or make fun of them. I know many of my “friends” think Christianity is a joke, and think I am ignorant for believing it. No worries, we are still friends (I hope). I am not perfect. I Never will be. However I will try, not to be perfect, but to live my life the way I believe Jesus intended.

Thanks for reading. Love another person today, tomorrow, and every chance you get.

Today was a cool day. I got to be 8 years old again… really I did. I was supposed to be mixing a Jazz record but we had to move it back to next week. No big deal. My day was now free. What shall I do? I knew exactly what I was going to do… I was going to see Superman. WOW. I have to admit, I did feel like a kid again. I remembered why I used to love to go to the movies.

Today I was reminded of my love for creativity and imagination!!! Not that movies today are lacking in this dept, but for some reason this movie just took me back 25+ years and I loved it. Superman lives up to his name, he’s the all American superhero, and I agree with the main theme in this movie. The world needs a Superhero. The world needs someone to believe in. I thank God everyday that he has given us our Superman, the one Man in whom we can all believe in and KNOW without a shadow of a doubt that through Him we can make an impact and change this world.

So now you know that I loved Superman as a kid (if only I could show all the pics in my Superman underoos), I was Superman. Today I remembered why.

Anyway, thanks for reading and obviously I highly recommend this movie!!! GO SEE THIS MOVIE!
