I read a book called "the purpose driven life." From it I garnered a great deal of confidence that God has a plan. It's not always what we'd choose but we, as people, half to put our faith in his hands. Left to our own devices and attempts to control the wheel we'd surely always drive into the ditch. I only attend church about 50% of the time. I attended a Lutheran school until 8th grade. My faith was high but I lost my way in college and during my marriage. It was a valuable lesson in who comes first! God does deliver but its on his timeline. As you can tell - I need to take my own advice when I have my down days. This song always reminds me to stay grounded - it's called 100 years. It's uplifting yet a somber reality of how fleeting life and love are

100 Years

I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

I'm 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind

I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star

15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

Half time goes by
Suddenly you're wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...

I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you're on your way
Every day's a new day...

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
