Love

I was going through and creating a Valentines Playlist for dinner tonight. We have friends coming over and I struggled to make this list. It seemed every google search turned up someones very specific tastes. This mix includes a good mix of everything. Like love, it is a little funny, a little rocky, a little slow, and a little serious. Hope you like!

Other than the language and video games, it is so so true…

In a fight recently, I wrote down a list of needs. The boat had done sailed by time these were written down but I left them on my fridge (along with what Nick did bad mind you) to remind myself. Then again I said this 3 years ago too. Who knows but I wanted to post them and have this to search back for also. Together – We do things together, we hold the same line together, we exist together Communication – Can you hear me now? Less Cursing – Yarr Matey I don’t be wantin to date a sailor Yarrr On-Time – Cell Phones, Google Calendar, Watches, no reason to be late for stuff Clean Home – Sexist and old school? Nope! This is how I feel loved Push me to Christ – Last thing I need in my spiritual walk is a boat anchor, sometimes you can’t help but carry but other times I need a swift kick in the butt Stop Caring for the World – Who gives 2 craps and a cookie what so-and-so down the road thinks? Be here when I get home – Nothing worse than traveling for 2 weeks and someone not be home when you pull up Respect “Our” Decisions – There is a good chance I didn’t want to do something, but it is OUR Decision. “Hold the line!” as they say in battle Plan with me – If you want to be with me, be with me. That means telling your team what the plan is Share the good/bad – I don’t live in a fairy tale, neither should you. Life sucks sometimes but let me be there with you when it does Tell me about your feelings despite my load – Yep, I am a busy guy and have a lot on my plate. That doesn’t mean hiding it from me. My one escape is the “us” stuff and I live to be a superman Catholic Family – My family will attend mass and love the sacraments. All of us, all of the time Stay at Home Wife – Oh geez another being sexist! Nope! Our kids deserve the best the world can offer and the best is their Mom. The greatest job is a Mom.

It is often in the course of life that we are put to the test of our faith. My little brother just txt’ed me saying “Shotgun is at mom’s house.” If only I could. If only it were that easy.There is a calling that we must listen and hold tight to as we engross ourselves into the life of Christ. God is Love. Love is God. Love is the Word. Hence why John 1:1 makes so much sense. Watch: ...
