I’m not Mushy

Never have been;  A mushy person that is.  I would consider myself passionate,  but not very emotionally expressive;  especially towards my family and loved ones (I know that’s weird).   So bare with me.

I was stranded on the side of the road yesterday trying to get my sputtering car to the mechanic’s for the second time in 2 weeks.  Left the office thinking I could make the 50 mile trip only to find myself parked 15 miles short.  Needless to say I was upset, frustrated, sad etc… etc…  I can’t remember feeling so beaten up / attacked in a long time.  Like I said ,  I’m not a very emotional person so things normally don’t get to me like that.  I felt depressed.  For the first time in my life I think.  You know how it goes,  I’m guessing most people feel like this from time to time.  When it rain it pours all that garbage.  Now to the point.

Kass didn’t know I was stranded (she was wrapped up at the Dance studio and didn’t have her phone) so I had to get my Mom to come pick me up while they towed the car away.  She gave me a ride back to my house.  Kass and the kids weren’t home yet so I fixed myself some dinner and sat eating in silence waiting.  It seemed like forever and finally a car light shined through the window as they pulled in the drive.  (Is it just me, or was that a lyric from a Garth Brooks song,  ok back to the story).   I opened the door too see Kass unloading Bella’s car seat from the back seat, meanwhile Kyla was trying to climb  from the back to the front so she could get out of Mommy’s door “like a big girl” .   At the same time Brey was swatting at his buckle hoping it would somehow unlock so he could jump out too.  It only took about 2 seconds to take all this in and it took that same amount of time for me to go from the worst feeling I’ve had in years to complete joy and content.  I’m not sure how to say it any better than Andrew say’s it in the song I posted here a week or so ago, “Family Man” (you can watch it below).  Like I said, I’m not a mushy person and I hate even writing something like this,  but I don’t know what else to do but say it.  Just a thank you to my beautiful kids and wife for constantly filling me with love and helping me stand.  I’m eternally greatful

Also,  thanks to my Mom for not leaving me on the side of the road  :)

More Andrew

Here’s a clip from the “Behold the Lamb of God” tour.  This is a Christmas musical Andrew wrote that he and some others perform every year.  The video quality isn’t great but I wanted you guys to see it.  BTW,  Andrew will be in Birmingham this Thursday night at  Shades Mountain Baptist.  Let me know if you wanna go.

Family Man

I started last week what I’m going to call a small compilation of tributes to one of favorite artist,  Andrew Peterson.   I’ve been to see him in concert 4 times I believe.  He’s one of best story tellers you’ll find and a great song writer.  You can find more on him at  www.andrew-peterson.com .

Here’s a clip of him singing Family Man.  Pretty funny start
