People Get Ready (Rapture Edition)

Hello all,

So, as I'm sure you all know, God is coming back tomorrow night. The Bible guarantees it - at least according to Family Radio. I was at the mall today and as I as looking at some clothes, I overheard a little girl saying to her mother, "Mommy, the world is going to end tomorrow! I'm scared!" She kept repeating that the world was going to end and her mother hugged her and replied "Well even if it ends you won't even know it" I tried to suppress laughter but it was just such a comical situation. Many people have blogged about May 21st and given their opinions on the matter.

But I'm not here to do that. I'm here to give you a little gift.

A gift of song.

And before you get too excited that I wrote and recorded a song about the rapture (just ask my Wakil roommates how good I sound on tape with original songs). Instead I am giving a little kickback to the 90's. If you enjoy the old school Christian hits of the 90s you may know this song. But if you don't, this is the greatest gift you will ever receive (besides salvation of course...)

So, without further ado, I give you Crystal Lewis.

Please blast this song from your balcony/patio/car, wherever you are at 6:00pm May 21st and let your neighbours know what is going on.

You're welcome.

Guilty Pleasures of the Musical Kind

Hey Everyone!

OK, so I have been tossing around a couple of ideas. One was writing about small scarves and the judgements that I receive from wearing them.

SIDENOTE: A scarf is meant to warm one's neck, correct? Therefore, to wear a scarf that merely fits around your neck and leaves a little tail is doing what a scarf is meant to do.

OK, sidenote done. Onto the post, that I decided to write about. So, via my Visa card, I gain points and then can get sweet gift cards for various places. This time I decided to go crazy and get an iTunes gift card. So, I am very strategic in my buying on iTunes because oddly enough 25 bucks doesn't get you that far. So, I have been pondering my purchases for a few months (no joke... I'm a little weird when it comes to buying music and movies for that matter.)

So, there's this one album that I have considered buying for 2 years. Seriously. You see, back in my teen years, I was a Christian music junkie. If Lady Gaga was around back then, I probably wouldn't even know who she was. You ask me who Rebecca St. James was and I would look at you like you were stupid.

So, this is not a bash Christian music post because hey, if you put on an old Michael W. Smith album right now, I would be smiling ear to ear. But there is one man in Christian music who keeps me buying his cds to this day. And that guys' name is Mark Schultz. I can't help myself. I own all of his cds and the cd that I have been circulating for 2 years was his latest offering, Come Alive. So, here I am two years later listening to his album on repeat. I put it on my iPod and listened to it as I fell asleep and I quite literally had a smile on my face.

Mark is my guilty pleasure cause I am pretty sure if I went to his concert I would be the youngest person (let's just cancel out the homeschoolers) there!

And if you have no idea who this fella is, here's a little taste.

So, here's the rules - I told you mine, now tell me yours.

Holy Mother's Day

Hello all!

My apologies for the long silence. But there is a reason for it.

Mother's Day.

You see, I work at a floral warehouse and this is one of the biggest days of the year. So, I have lived and breathed work the past few weeks. But in that time, I have begged the question - does everyone really buy their mother flowers on mother's day? I honestly don't remember ever doing that. We always did something different. One might say that we were too cheap.

I feel like buying flowers has been lost on my generation. But perhaps I am wrong. Perhaps I am just a scum bag who doesn't buy my mom a nice bouquet of flowers. So, here is my short little blog for this week - do you buy your mom flowers on mother's day? And if you are a mom - do you like to get flowers or would you rather have something else?

I will be back soon with a longer post! Cheerio.
