Mornings Light
Remember when we were
way back then
we were
you and I
and we were stayin up to late
Remember how we were
talking loud
we were
under the stars
and we were sitting way to close
Remember how we were
goin back and forth
we were
arguing love and lust
and happiness `
We all want hands to hold
We all want arms to fold in around us
We never really listened to the warnings
C---Em---D
until mornings light comes pouring rudely in
I don't Remember who said
that history proves with the dead
to be always going
round and round again
but no matter how strong
what we are fed
it will never go to my head
that a
kiss is just a kiss
C---D---G---Em
I don't want to fall in love
I don't want to walk in blind
I don't have the time

10 Commandments of Relationships
A little taste from college retreat. This is some solid teaching on a topic that many churches get weird about. It was a ton of fun!
1. Guys are the initiators and girls are the responders. Proverbs 18:22. Every lady known as an initiator of relationship in the bible was a whore.
2. Getting coffee does not equal marriage. Going on a date does not even mean you’re dating. Do not put your expectations on coffee.
3. Get a vision for the end before you begin. End meaning the start of your marriage, the alter… Get a vision for where you want to be financially, with your purity, how much baggage you want to bring into the relationship. Habakkuk 2:2, 1 Tim 5:8
4. When on a date guys should make it a goal to ask more questions than talk about themselves. James 1:14. Do not be dogmatic or opinionated, but rather open to new things.
5. Godly relationships stir you to pursue Jesus never to pull away. If a relationship begins to take you away from the church, your small group, and Godly accountability found in covenant friendship it is Godly.
6. Keep your relationship in the light. 1 John 1:7
7. Guys need to lead the relationship. Lines are to be drawn, not discovered. Guys need to draw those lines and yet not be driven by a spirit of legalism. We are grace people.
8. How far is to far is the wrong question. It should be more like how much can I please God in this relationship. If you can hold her hand without going to bed in your mind then hold her hand. For some you may just need to high five it up for a while. Others kissing is okay… not a set rule. Jack Hayford believes that open mouth kissing opens the door to sex because as soon as you open your mouth and insert your tongue it is a mental action tied symbolically to the insertion of … 1 Cor 7:1
9. Let the relationship happen naturally, do not force it. Say hello>get to know>be a bro>let it grow>give it a go>don’t be so slow.
10. Be confident and have a sense of humor.

Sweat dripping
Tears bursting against my will
Tears refusing when willed.

A Skinned Knee
Rain Rain go away
come again another day
I've cried and I've prayed
Father wont you come again
Rain Rain fallin from my face
fall again into your place
this seed falling from my eyes
it will fall and it will die
You've turned my morning into dancing
You've turned my sorrow into joy
You've started my heart again romancing
I've sown in tears now reaping songs of joy
Rain Rain you can come again
I never new that you're my friend
The pain and fear that held me tight
I release and give you back your fight
Where do I get my inspiration from?
How does the spirit teach this hardened heart to hear?
A skinned knee
Your rod and staff that comfort me
The release as your loving discipline helps me
Pry my fingers loose
again
You've turned my morning into dancing
You've turned my sorrow into joy
You've started my heart again romancing
I've sown in tears now reaping songs of joy
Rain Rain I don't mind
If you show your face tonight
Neither way will or shine
change Jeremiah 29
come again another day
I've cried and I've prayed
Father wont you come again
Rain Rain fallin from my face
fall again into your place
this seed falling from my eyes
it will fall and it will die
You've turned my morning into dancing
You've turned my sorrow into joy
You've started my heart again romancing
I've sown in tears now reaping songs of joy
Rain Rain you can come again
I never new that you're my friend
The pain and fear that held me tight
I release and give you back your fight
Where do I get my inspiration from?

Embraces like Bullets
A Friend from place speaks destination,
From city creates fantasy,
Their home, our dream.
Time and conversation
I have food you do not know about...
To do the work of my father.
Love revealed in her.
Dorm of acquaintances,
Barracks of brotherhood,
Home is family,
Friend in fantasy.
Dreams compel hearts and hands
To leave father and mother
Become one flesh
To make home anew
One step closer to heaven
Your kingdom come
Man, master, mission, mate
Genesis as thesis
Jesus the argument
Spirit like breath
GOD as GOD
Father make my destination you
The city on a hill
Not Portland, Nashville, or Paris
My dream, Love is you.
You and I and her
Freedom in labor
Mission minded dreamer
Adrenaline in embraces like bullets,
Grace tangible, the cross
My gun, my books, running shoes.
The resurrection life
Time and conversation
Love revealed in him
For her….my flesh.
