Okay, I know some of you may have seen something like this elsewhere on the internet as a forum game or something like that, but I thought I might be nifty to do one as a blog post if for no other reason than to give you a taste of my music library.
Here's how the game works: if you have a MP3 player (handheld or on your computer, it doesn't matter), set it up to play your entire library or playlist and set it on shuffle or random and record the song title (and artist/band if you so wish) in each slot as it comes up. Have fun!
Opening Credits: Toby Mac - Love is in the House [Muckala Remix]; ummmm, not the most apropriate way to open up, but whatever, it's a good song
Waking Up: KJ-52 - Dear Slim Pt.2[True Story Remix]; he woke me up
First Day At School: Toby Mac - Yours[Linney Remix]; appearantly I went in with a bang (or at least looking like one of those extreme hardcore alternative kids, LOL)
Shopping: Seventh Day Slumber - Every Saturday; ...ummmmm...I didn't know shopping was such an intimate activity for me, LOL! XD
Hanging with Friends: Nichole Nordeman - Grace; <_<>_> this is a bit too intimate for just hangin' with friends
First Kiss: United Live - Shine For You; We were at a Hillsong concert that night
Birthday: United Live - Majesty; didn't know what to make of this at first, but I'd totally have Hillsong play live at my next birthday!
Party Scene: KJ-52 - KJ Five Two; cuz I know how to keep it bumpin' an' chill at the same time
Falling In Love: Grits - Open Windows; ...ummmmm...this totally doesn't fit the mood, like, at all
Fight Song: The Innocenc Mission - The Brotherhood of Man; ...What??!
Breaking Up: Demon Hunter - Fire to My Soul; sounds a little too intense for a break up, must have been some pretty extreme circumstances
Prom: Haste the Day - Fallen; because nothing says prom night like moshing to death metal, right? (actually, this is the kind of prom I'd totally go to, LOL)
College: Falling Up - Arch of Achilles; yeah, college actually was pretty chill for the most part for me
Life: Toby Mac - Fellin' so Fly; Lovin' life, baby!
Mental Breakdown: KJ-52 - Dear Slim Pt.2; can anyone say comeback montage?
Driving: KJ-52 - Outro/Gimme Dat; I was high on dew that night...
Flashback: Sanctus Real - Beautiful Day; depending on the flashback, this would work rather nicely
Getting back together: Falling Up - Helicopters; a bitter-sweet reunion
Love Scene: Toby Mac - Made to Love; I did not plan this, I swear, but it totally works like a charm! XD
Wedding: Toby Mac ft. Nirva Dorsaint - No Ordinary Love; hip-hop wedding, why not?
Honeymoon: Haste the Day - Walls and Fears; this doesn't fit at all
Birth of Child: Grits - Save Soul; (again)...What???
Final Battle: Haste the Day - Bleed Alone; short, sweet and to-the-point
Death Scene: Starfield - 40; nice; not my first pick, but it works
Funeral Song: KJ-52 ft. Donnie - Pick Yourself Up; okay, I'm dead now, move on
End Credits: Seventh Day Slumber - Broken Buildings; nice little wrap-up
A'ight, now post a comment with your own life soundtrack based on the outline set above, or come up with your own, and remember, no cheating!
JAck out.

This is your life; are you who you wanna be?
This song kinda sums up what I've been feeling a conviction about today. Why? Well, as I may have already stated before in previous posts, I've been in something of a rut, a slump if you will, of apathy, though I think of it more as a kind of lethargy. It seems like I've subconsciously fallen into a state of what I like to call a "sugar-high" mentality. In other words, I get hyped up on the pastor's message on Sunday morning and Wednesday night and then as soon as I get back home I crash. Does this mean that I've become (*GASB*) a "Sunday Christian"??!
I must confess, I've been pretty lukewarm in the faith for a while now. Every time I hear a good word that moves me to an emotional high as it were, I promise myself that I'm gonna change, that I'm gonna do it this time, that I'm gonna pursue that purpose for my life. Then, of course, I go back home and subconciously slip back into my old routene and it quickly gets gently pushed to the back burner. I hate this feeling of saying all the right things but not really meaning any of it based on my actions. I wish I really were a man of my word at all times, that I didn't have this gnawing addiction to hop on the computer and spend the entire freaking day on facebook or youtube because I have "nothing to do" and don't want to deal with real life. I kills me to think I've become the very thing I swore I'd never be since a little kid filled with a spark of faith and passion. Where did that fire go? Why did I wait so long to learn these lessons? Why couldn't life just come with a rewind button or an edit option? Oh, what I would give for a second chance at life, to go back and do over all those mistakes and total screw-ups of years past!
As I sit here writing this out, I can't help but be reminded of Solomon, who, in his great wisdom royaly screwed up much like David, his father, and look at my life and think "so this is what gaining wisdom feels like."; OUCH!
Well, I guess sometimes the University of Hard Knocks is one of the best, if not the most painfull, teacher of such life lessons on lying and how to drive a car. Sometimes you almost have to push the limits to learn where they are and their standards.
(*sigh*)
Thank God of amazing grace.

A psalm for weary traveler
A beaten path it is I trod, difficult and many have been the trials I have faced, grating on the nerves.
Cannot I live through one day without the temptations of a selfish, carnal heart?
Cannot I pass through one day of this hellish journey unscaved by the lusts of my flesh?
Is there not relief for my soul in all the world for even a moment?
Yet, still I must push on, for higher a goal do I seek to achieve, to higher at road have I been called, to run in such a way as to win the prize at the end of this long road traveled so many times by those before me.
How long, oh, Lord, 'till you rescue me from this labyrinth of monotony, this hell of misunderstanding that is the world? When will it all end?
Yet, you answer, not with instant rapture, nor with a quick fix, but rather a drop of your infinite wisdom in your own perfect time, a small reminder of your amazing grace and a loving, correctional hand to guide me back to the straight and the narrow.
Show me, oh God, the way in which I should proceed in my journey to the end that I may fulfill the perfect plan for my life you composed and wrote before the begining of time.
Remind me, again I pray, of your perfect love, your beautiful grace and mercy that have save such a wretch as I that I may glorify your name above all else.
Show me the way
