It's Gotta Be Right!

My lovely wife and I were listening to the mixdown of her debut CD in order to assure the engineers that everything is okay. We were listening for any pitch problems, vocal issues, music miscues, or anything that might make the CD less than perfect (with a voice like hers that would be impossible). We found a few small issues but nothing major. We were paying close attention because "it's gotta be right." I suddenly began to think, "Am I as meticulous with my life as I am with her CD?" Our sign team, "Mach 1", from our church walked in shortly after we finished with my wife's CD. They are performing in Exeter tomorrow night and was wanting me to assist them in making it perfect, because "it's gotta be right." Once again driving the thought home even harder, that my life has got to be right. After all, "I'm not performing, for anyone but you (God)!" (A song recorded by Bryce on his debut CD).

Every once in awhile one has to stop and recharge their batteries. Today was one of those days! My family and I simply enjoyed staying home and enjoying each other by playing games, listening to music, and me giving them massages. My little girl layed there on the massage table and said, "Daddy this feels so good can we do this tomorrow too?" How can you say "no" to something that sweet? So when the day is said and done tomorrow, guess what I'll be doing?

A time of reflection...

I guess Christmas is a time of reflection and the conception of a New Year! In just a few days 2007 will be birthed. Many will begin with resolutions that they hope bring a fresh start. I trust that the resolution will include a fresh new start with the Christ of Christmas. A very Merry Christmas to all who read this blog and may each of you be blessed this New Year.
