About

I am a huge U2 fan. This is a video of me covering Desire at a Valentine's Day concert.

Fallin'

Fallin’

Jazz was in the air that night

And your eyes they glowed so bright

Laying out on top of my blue car

Underneath all those big bright stars

Chorus

I knew we could fly away
We could find a better day

I knew we could fly from here

We could leave this atmosphere

Im falling

Falling in love

Now denial it sets it

We still think that we are only friends

Why can’t we see what others see

Are we afraid of what could be

Chorus

Now denial it’s worn off

I don’t think that we are only friends

I’m not afraid of what others see

I’m not afraid of what could be

About

I wrote Fallin' about the first night that I really knew that I could spend the rest of my life with Jamie. We met as counselors at East Iowa Bible Camp and during one of our weekends off all of the counselors went to one of the counselor's parents' house. I had just bought a 3-disc big band jazz collection and we sat on the trunk of my car listening to my newly aquired tunes. We talked for hours and I loved every second with her and I knew that we could be together. Unfortunatly our evening was interupted by one of the parents coming out and saying that people might get the wrong idea about us being alone on top of my car. They were probably right. The picture is of Jamie and I that summer. The recording is rough and was made in a spare bedroom we had in our first house.

What I want this blog to be about.......

I (probably like most people who try and create some form of art) feel that I have very few outlets for my creative side. I want this blog to be a place to vent some of that creativity. For the most part I will post songs and lyrics that I have written. However, I may vary from that formula from time to time as I explore other creative venues.

I believe to create for the Creator is the most important thing. That doesn't mean that every song, photograph or painting needs to scream Jesus at the top of it's lungs. It does mean that everything that is created or captures in some way His creation, is for Him. I know that anything I could offer is essentially worthless compared to what Christ has created and given us. The beauty of it is that God does not care and rejoices at our creation that is meant to honor and worship Him.

 ¹¹ “You are worthy, our Lord and God,

to receive glory and honor and power,

for you created all things,

and by your will they were created

and have their being.”

Revelation 4:11
