Houseplants

Here is a hilarious, yet really good song. It's a funny way to point out the need of realizing what really matters most. After you read the lyrics, go look it up and listen to it, it makes it even better. :) Hope you like it!


Once I read a book
And this is what it said
If your music has a beat
Then you're gonna wind up dead
It doesn't really matter if it's Christian or not
If it's syncopated rhythm then your soul is gonna rot
And this book was called "Ha! Your Gonna Burn"
And in the second chapter I went on to learn

Take your houseplants
And put them to the test
Set them both in front of speakers
And let the music do the rest
The first one you play Mozart
Or something lovely like that
The second one you play that Petra or that MegaDeth.
Doesn't really matter what kind of rock it is.

So I took my two houseplants
And I put them to the test
Set them both in front of speakers
To let the music do the rest
I powered up my Pioneers
To let the music roar
But twenty minutes later
Someone's knocking at my door
I opened up my door
And there my neighbor stood
He said, "Man I'd like to get some sleep, if you think I could"
I said, "Man, can't you see here I've got this moral dilemma that I got to get clear."
He said, " What kind of moral dilemma
Could you have at this time of night
That could make me so angry
That I just want to fight!?"
So I pointed to the page in that open book
That had a picture of a potted plant
And I said, "Go have a look." And he read

Take your houseplants
And put them to the test
Set them both in front of speakers
And let the music do the rest
The first one you play Mozart
Or something lovely like that
The second one you play that Petra or that MegaDeth.
Doesn't really matter what kind of rock it is.

First of all he said,
"That's Wagner that you're playing
I've never heard of Petra
And isn't MegaDeth all dead?"
And secondly, emphatically, He asked me,
"What's the sense of hanging out with houseplants when, hey,
I live right across the fence?"
And I thought to myself
You know, that's a good point
So I took my two houseplants, and I put them both back outside
And me and my neighbor
Well, we went out for a drive
We talked about all the things
That really matter most
Like life and love and happiness
And then the Holy Ghost
And now my two houseplants
They sit out in the sun
As for me and my neighbor
Well our friendship has become
A meaningful relationship
That's headed straight to heaven
But as for now
We like to sit around and listen to Audio Adrenaline
Cranked to eleven!

THE HOUSEPLANT SONG by Audio Adrenaline

Isn't that song just plain cool? I don't know about you but I really like it. :)

Matters of Chimney's and Other Things

So I went hiking the chimney tops with my youth group today, and I must say it was pretty flipping awesome. Not only did I get an AMAZING workout for my legs, but I got to sit at the top of a high mountain and look at God's wonderful creation. It was so beautiful it took me a while to actually take it all in, it made me feel rather puny, you know? It was just breathtaking. I can't believe that God would create so many wonderful things just for us to enjoy, the stars, the sunshine, the mountains, the trees, everything. All of this is here to remind us of Him, to point to Him and show us just how awesome He truly is. I love going out and looking at the stars, or sitting on my porch during a nice day and looking at everything, and I must say when it snows, it's so beautiful. :) So I encourage you to do the same, take some time to really explore God's creation, it will blow your mind.

Over and Underneath

Sorry it's been a while everyone, I'll try to do better. :) I owe you all two songs besides this one, so here is the first of three. It's one of my very favorites and the first time I heard it, I was speechless. It was like realizing God's love all over again for the first time. So anyway, Here it tis'.

I know I need You
I need to love You
I'd love to see You, but it's been so long
I long to feel You
I feel this need for You
And I need to hear You, is that so wrong?


Now You pull me near You,
When we're close, I fear You
Still I'm afraid to tell You, all that I've done
Are You done forgiving?
Can you look past my pretending?
Lord, I'm so tired of defending, what I've become
What have I become?


I hear You say,
"My love is over, It's underneath.
It's inside, It's in in between.
The times you doubt Me, when you can't feel.
The times that you question, 'Is this for real? '
The times your broken.
The times that you mend.
The times you hate Me, and the times that you bend.
Well, My love is over, it's underneath.
It's inside, it's in between.
These times your healing, and when your heart breaks.
The times that you feel like you're falling from grace.
The times your hurting.
The times that you heal.
The times you go hungry, and are tempted to steal.
The times of confusion, in chaos and pain.
I'm there in your sorrow, under the weight of your shame.
I'm there through the heartache.
I'm there in the storm.
My love I will keep you, by My power alone.
I don't care where you've fallen, or where you have been.
I'll never forsake you, My love never ends.
It never ends."

"Times" By Tenth Avenue North


Doesn't that just rock your socks off? It is SO true! God loves us so much, He's crazy about us! He can't get enough, there is just NO other love like that. He wants us to come to him with everything that goes on in our lives. He wants us to love Him, talk to Him, have an amazing relationship with him! He cares about us so much that He actually sent his son to die for us. I don't know about you but I think that is crazy peaches right there! :)
