Parents Arrive Today

My parents should be showing up in about another hour. They're driving up so we can all take a vacation to Vegas for a few days. We've got a lot planned including some college baseball... (mmm college bois)... and a trip to see 'Phantom: The Las Vegas Spectacular' at the Venetian. I'm getting excited to go, but it's gonna be hard to oogle the eye-candy with my parents (who I'm not out to) standing right next to me. :(

Leaving Phoenix

Here's the last post from home for a few days. We're all getting ready to head out in 'Brian' for Vegas. It will be the first time he's been on a such a long road trip, but I'm looking forward to it. It will be good to just get out and drive for a while. ;)

Well, it looks like my parents are ready to leave. I'm not sure if we'll have internet from Vegas. I still need to upgrade my phone to be able to do that, but hopefully soon I'll get to the phone store and buy a PDA phone :)

I'll post Wednesday at the lastest (when we roll back into town) :)

Good Quote...

"Do you ever read the Sunday comics? Well, when I was a little kid, I use to put my nose right up to them. And I was just amazed because it looked like this mass of dots, and none of it made sense until I pulled back. Life looks like that mass of dots to me sometimes. None of it makes any sense, but I like to think that, from God's perspective, life, everything - even this - make sense. It's not just dots. Instead we're all connected, and it's beautiful and funny and good. This close we can't expect it to make sense, not right now."

Eventide

Abide With Me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.

Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

I've loved this song's tune for a while. But it's lyrics are just as powerful to me these days.

Broken Vow

Tell me his name
I want to know
The way he looks
And where you go
I need to see his face
I need to understand
Why you and I came to an end

Tell me again
I want to hear
Who broke my faith
in all these years
Who lays with you at night
When I'm here all alone
Remembering when I was your own

I let you go
I let you fly
Why do I keep on asking why
I let you go
Now that I found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow

Tell me the words
I never said
Show me the tears
you never shed
Give me the touch
That one you promised to be mine
Or has it vanished for all time

I let you go
I let you fly
Why do I keep on asking why
I let you go
Now that I found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow

I close my eyes
And dream of you and I and then I realize
There's more to love than only bitterness and lies
I close my eyes

I'd give away my soul
To hold you once again
And never let this promise end

I let you go
I let you fly
Why do I keep on asking why
I let you go
Now that I found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow.
