Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Happy New Year!

I gave up on making New Year's resolutions a long time ago.  

However, I've decided to make one this year, inspired by a song I've been listening to a lot lately: Let Me Rediscover You by Downhere.

It really speaks for itself. Listen and reflect. Maybe you'll want to make a resolution like mine this year, too.

Let Me Rediscover You by Downhere

Your Spirit hovers over my waters
Your love burns longer than the sun
The skies of thunder echo Your wonder
Your praises can't be over-sung
The whole universe is witness
To only a part of what You've done

So let me rediscover You
And breathe in me Your life anew
Tell me of the God I never knew
Let me rediscover You

You see my weakness, my pride, my blindness
You wield Your power through them all
Of all the mysteries, still,
The greatest to me is that You're faithful with I fall
How can I say I know You,
When what I know is still so small

Let me rediscover You
And breathe in me Your life anew
Tell me of the God I never knew
And let me rediscover You

Let me cry "Holy, Holy, Holy"
Let me awaken to Your majesty
And see a glimmer of Your glory
Let me abide in You

Let me rediscover You
And by Your grace I'll follow through
Reveal to me the God I thought I knew

Let me rediscover You
And breathe in me Your life anew
Tell me of the God I never knew
And let me rediscover You

Tell me of the God I never knew
Jesus, let me rediscover You

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Fourth of July!

Erin Go Braugh!

Up until a few years ago, I believed I had Irish ancestors. Believing so always gave me a feeling of superiority on St. Patrick's Day because I was more authentic than everyone else pretending to be. I could say, "Kiss me, I'm Irish" and it was the truth. Then my aunt told me that we are actually Scottish and that was the end of that. Anyway, I still like St. Patrick's Day and in honor of the holiday, I thought I would make a list of some of my favorite Ireland inspired things.

1. Celtic Music - For the record, I was into this long before everyone else was. Plus, I really like the phrase Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral.

2. Irish Tipsy Cake - Chocolate cake soaked in a mixture of butter and Irish Whiskey.

3. Lucky Charms - They're magically delicious.

4. Pierce Brosnan - I think this one is self explanatory.

5. Irish Brogues - Very pleasant to listen to.

6. Guinness - Another self explanatory one.

7. Leprechauns - I know they don't really exist, but it's fun to imagine.

8. Stepdancing - Love the costumes, love the wigs.

9. Four-leaf clovers - I found one once. I think it brought me luck.

10. Chasing rainbows - You never know when you'll find the pot of gold at the end.
