Sharing with a friend...

After sharing with a friend...thought I would post this video on my blog.

Notice the audiences reaction when Scott sings...
"I know I have something free
I have something so alive"


Lyrics here~ (thanks to http://www.sing365)
Walking around I hear the sounds of the earth seeking relief
I'm trying to find a reason to live
But the mindless clutter my path
Oh these thorns in my side
(Oh, these thorns in my side)
I know I have something free
I have something so alive

I think they shoot cause they want it

I feel forces all around me
Come on raise your head
Those who hide behind the shadows
Live with all that's dead

Look at me
Look at me
Look at me
At least look at me when you shoot a bullet through my head
Through my head
through my head

In my lifetime when I'm disgraced
Jealousy and lies
I laugh aloud cause my life
Has gotten inside someone else's mind

Look at me
Look at me
Look at me
At least look at me when you shoot a bullet through my head
Through my head
Through my head

Hey all I want is what's real
Something I touch and can feel
I'll hold it close and never let it go
Said why, why do we live this life
With all this hate inside
I'll give it away cause I don't want it no more
Please help me find a place
Somewhere far away
Yes I'll go and you'll never see me again

Look at me
Look at me
Look at me
At least look at me when you shoot a bullet through my head
Through my head
Through my head *2x

Look at me
Look at me

Ghost Crab

Thought I would share what a ghost crab from N. Carolina looks like.
This type of crab can be found on the sand.
At night they like to crawl all over the surface of the sand.

Yes, and this is the type of crab that started crawling over my leg when I was sun bathing on the sand ...so now I stay on my chair to soak in those rays!

Creed Concert

Well...I can't post about this concert...
it is too vast and deep
I find no words to satify explaning the experience.
So lets just watch this...

WOW~

Wow~ we got the videos coming from last night's concert...Thank you to backpackdave09 ~for downloading 9 great videos ~ your upfront and camera quality are excellent!....
I think this song is great for if someone would ask us who is to blame...our only answer is..."say I" What happens in our life is not as important ~ for it is much more important to be careful about the decisions we made from what happened...That is where our power is and that is where we "say...I"
So this is it...


Lyrics~
The dust has finally settled on the field of human clay
Just enough light has shown through
To tell the night from the day
We are incomplete and hollow
For our maker has gone away
Who is to blame?
We'll surely melt in the rain

Say I

The stillness is so lifeless with no spirit in your soul
Like children with no vision do exactly what they're told
Being led into the desert
For your strength will surely fade
Who is to blame?
We'll surely melt in the rain

Say I

Frantic, faction, focus
The world breathes
And out forms this misconception we call man
But I don't know him
No, I don't know him
Because he lies

Say I

...See me there....

~~CREED~~

To the very depths of my being...
~in exciting anticipation...

...Creed's concert will soon enter my senses~
~and fill my depths with their music...

~Ricketts Glen~

Guess Who...

... was content playing in this water puddle
a good portion of the afternoon~

CREED CONFIRM REUNION

Imagine That...

Watch Video Here :)

27/04/2009 17:26Rockers Creed have confirmed they are reuniting for a new album and tour this summer (09), ending months of speculation.
The group split in 2004 but rumours began circulating in December (08) about plans for a major 2009 comeback tour.
Now frontman Scott Stapp reveals the reports are true and they are working on a new record titled Full Circle - although they refuse to call their chart return a reunion.
He tells People.com, "We never felt like we weren't together. We're not looking at this as a reunion. It's more of a rebirth."
And Stapp insists the bandmembers have settled the differences that forced them apart in the first place: "I said, 'I love you and if I've ever caused you any pain in your life forgive me.' And they said the same things right back."

~A Beautiful Day~

Truly An Admirable Man

In a moment of reflecting...I cry...
this man touched my life in an amazing way.
Maybe you could even say he was a part of saving my life.

Even when I would challenge him,
I could not shake his love, patience and gentleness.
Even when other priest would be challenge
by my pains in life
they would not respond so kindly...

~He was there for me when I was at a depth of my despair...

~He in his very special manner
gave a meaningful ceremony when
Ronnie and I were married ...

~He buried my brother...

~He buried my father...

~ I will deeply treasure the life this man lived...
He has touched me to depths that not many can.
and the amazing thing is he didn't even try...
he was just real, sincere, honest and loving....

~I thank God that this man was a part of my path of life~

I have heard here and there about the possible of Creed's reunion, but I am not so quick to believe what might just be speading without the facts.
~So then I am searching youtube and found this video...

How do I feel???
I feel a sense of excitement and a sense of concern....
~May Scott keep rockin on with his realness of life~
~searching and walking~

Can you identify this plant?

Did you identify this plant before scrolling on~~~

A little background would be....I love patchouli.. in making my next order of this oil...I was to find the cost has sky rocketed... :(

Patchouli essential oil
(Pogostemon cablin)
Origin- Indonesia
Method of Cultivation- Organic
Patchouli essential oil organic $78.40 for 16oz link to site~

So in my much disappointment I decided to take this plant into my own hands. So yes, here I am growing Patchouli for my own passionate desire of the scent of oil of patchouli~~~will I make it into oil...well...that will be an option, but I will harvest the leaves for my own sachets. I do not desire to surrender my life to a life without the scent of patchouli!!!

For To Me....To Live.....Is Christ.....Philip. 1:21

Song~ originally by DC Talk

~lyrics~ below video..

Separated, I cut myself clean
From a past that comes back in my darkest of dreams
Been apprehended by a spiritual force
And a grace that replaced all the me I've divorced

I saw a man with tat on his big fat belly
It wiggled around like marmalade jelly
It took me a while to catch what it said
Cause I had to match the rhythm of his belly with my head
'Jesus Saves' is what it raved in a typical tattoo green
He stood on a box in the middle of the city
And claimed he had a dream

What will people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth

Kamikaze, my death is gain
I've been marked by my Maker
A peculiar display
The high and lofty, they see me as weak
Cause I won't live and die for the power they seek

There was a man from the desert with naps in his head
The sand that he walked was also his bed
The words that he spoke made the people assume
There wasn't too much left in the upper room
With skins on his back and hair on his face
They thought he was strange by the locusts he ate
The Pharisees tripped when they heard him speak
Until the king took the head of this Jesus freak

What will people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth

People say I'm strange, does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger
People say I'm strange, does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger
What will people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth

What will people think (What will people think)
What will people do (What will people do)
I don't really care (What else can I say)
There ain't no disguising the truth (Jesus is the way)
