need an inspirational song?

if you don't already have it...

DL arcade fire's "wake up".

it pumps me up every time.

i think it's the whole choral thing they've got going for them.

if you happen to already have it...

listen to it.

orion

do you see orion?

every time i looked at the night sky as a child, i would see orion.

every

single

time.

tonight, T and i were driving back home from dinner.

it was a wonderful 70 degrees and we had the sunroof open.

i tilted my head back and looked up into the sky...

and i saw orion.

i realized then how long it's been since i've looked up.

i need to do so more often.

praises

Instead, it should be that of your inner self,

the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, 

which is of great worth in God's sight.
