It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

It truly is the most wonderful time of the year, to me anyways:). I had a great Christmas! Spending time with family (and watching Toy Story 3) was definitely a great day or me. But I really had to think about the true meaning of Christmas. It's not about presents or spending time with family but often forget that Christ's birth is the true meaning of Christmas. That was a short little note on that but if you want to read more about it check out my posts on http://www.philippians48matthew1926.blogspot.com/ . Hope you have a great day!

Friday Night...

Yesterday was my cousin's birthday... Last night was my cousins 'birthday party'... I say it like this but it wasn't really a party party... anyway.... We had a great time... well... at least I did:D We went to Five Guys Burgers and Fries and then we went to see Chronicles of Narnia Voyage of the Dawn Treader and it was amazing!!!!! I just can't wait to get that movie! If you're going to see make sure you see it in 3-D though... I think that helped it be so amazing:) Well, I should probably go and get ready for the day... a little bit late but I don't care because it's the first day of Christmas break!!!! Hope y'all have a great day!

O The Weather Outside Is Frightful...

You should know what song that is;) but I don't think we will be getting and snow soon, but who knows?! Well, I just got back from my cousin's house and I had a great time! With only 8 days until Christmas... lost my train of thought... guess that's what happens at 11 o'clock at night... I should probably go to bed... This post really doesn't have any meaning to it but I was bored so I decided to do a post:D. Trust me... I'm not normally like this but when it gets late and I have had a day of school then I kind of lose myself... Well, I just lost my train of thought again so I guess I should really go to bed... Hope everyone has a great night!!! oh! I just remembered what I meant to say!!!!!!!!! I was going to talk about the foggy dreary weather but nobody really wants to hear about that so...:D goodnight!

Oh My Goodness... It's Almost Christmas Break!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so excited that Christmas break is in 2 days!!!!! I am so tired of school! But it will come and go soon enough... Can you believe that Christmas is 10 days from today??? I can't... it's gone by way too fast. Well, I have been sick for last 13 days and I honestly do not know how many times I am going to have to blow my nose to get everything out of it! I have got to be past the million mark. ;) But through I have had to think about being thankful... it could be worse... I guess it's hard for us to just automatically be thankful in situations like that but we need to try. :D Well, I guess I better go and finish all of my homework before I go to get a haircut... Hope y'all have a great day!

Another Saturday Goes Down in the Books...

Well, here we are at the end of another Saturday. Today has been a good day for me:). This morning I had my last soccer game of the season and we won (our first win this season)! It's kinda pitiful but we tried... :) Then we came home and watched to OSU-Penn State game and OSU won! Go bucks! Now I am getting ready to watch the USC-Florida game which should be a very good game and it's also a very important game! I hope your Saturday has been a good one and if not, there's always tomorrow and we get to go to church! That should brighten up your day:) Goodnight!

The Breaths You Take

The Breaths You Take. I posted the lyrics for you underneath this post. I encourage you to read them think about the words. The last line of the chorus is what I am going to keep coming back to... "Life's not the breathes you take, but the moments that take your breath away."

He looks up from second base dad’s up in the stands
He saw the hit, the run, the slide there ain’t no bigger fan
In the parking lot after the game he said
“Dad I thought you had a plane to catch”
He smiled and said “Yeah son I did”

Chorus
Life’s not the breaths you take
The breathing in and out
That gets you through the day
Ain’t what it’s all about
Ya just might miss the point
Try’n to win the race
Life’s not the breaths you take
But the moments that take your breath away

Fast forward fifteen years
And a thousand miles away
Boy’s built a life he’s got a wife
And a baby due today
He hears a voice saying “I made it son
He said “I told you dad you didn’t have to come”
He smiles and says ”Yeah I know you did”

Chorus

Just like it took my breath when she was born
Just like it took my breath away when dad took his last that morn

Life’s not the breaths you take
The breathing in and out
That gets you through the day
Ain’t what it’s all about
Ya just might miss the point
If ya don’t slow down the pace
Life’s not the breaths you take
But the moments that take your breath away
