Prelude to 2011

First off, Happy New Year! I know that it's been a while since I've done this, but I felt like I wanted/needed some time to gather my thoughts and mind together, so here we are. But it's a new year, so it's time for some new thoughts/music, and more to share.

I know that for a lot of us, 2010 was a year that we'd rather forget about in many aspects. Things as big as on a international level down to personal issues occurred and while they are things that we wish didn't, we'd rather leave them in the past. So I feel that for my introduction back into the blogging game, and as a prelude to 2011, this song has been sitting on my mind heavily:



There were things in my life that I knew shouldn't have happened, but because of God, I was able to receive them. And in the new year, I hope that it multiplies by many...not because I deserve them, but because He will supply my (and your) every need.

Hope this helps out someone who may need it, or if not you, then you can pass it along to someone you know may need it.

Be easy readers....and most of all, be blessed!

Spiritual Uplift

For the many times I've fallen,
yet YOU forgave me...
thank you...Lord I thank you
For unmerited favor,
and your brand new mercies
thank you...how I thank you



In the spirit of Thanksgiving, you always have to have a reason to be thankful for. Whether it be because you're alive; it could be for you having a family to go to; or just not succumbing to whatever was ailing you at that point in your life. I believe that the song above will cover all of that. Right now, no matter what you're going through in your life, there is always a spiritual song, that will help to uplift you.

Now those of you reading this blog, know that I'm a man of religion. And with that being said, I realized that I haven't made a religious post yet, and I wanted to fix that error. Especially since these songs that I'm about to list really get me through some hard times.

Now here is where I'm about to get personal for a second. This hasn't been a good year for me or my family, and some of you know this, but thanks to these songs, my faith hasn't fallen completely by the wayside. I know that nobody's life will be perfect, and that's including mine, but even with knowing that, I felt like Satan was really tryin to beat me down. But hey, with music like this, it's hard NOT to believe that one day, you will see the rainbow past the rain.
