All The Time

     Happy “What Day Is It” everyone!!!
Man, what a day.  Only 2 more work days til the weekend, and boy,  am I glad.  Seems like everything we experience happens all the time, doesn’t it?   The church folks is always saying, “God is good all the time”.

But, let an idiot swerve in front of you, then slam on brakes, and I guarantee you, somebody gonna be needing Jesus…I’m just sayin’.  It might be me for what I said, or their sorry butt for being stupid enough to jump in front of an F250 diesel pick up truck.  And we all know sho’ enough, that road rage happens all…the…time.
Then we’ve got the folks who can’t keep things together, because all they want to do is “Party All the Time”.

Then, we have that friend that has no friends, and that you avoid commenting on any of their Facebook posts, because no matter what you say or do, they stay offended all the time.

Then there’s the folks that you stopped making plans with, because they are so busy, that if you ask them to lunch, they’ll say no, then spend 20 minutes explaining how truly busy they really are. Might as well have met for lunch after all, ain’t it?

None of us will be fondly remembered by our loved ones, for how many times we said “God is good”, or our partying skills, or our busy schedules.  However, they will remember every time we made time, just for them.  And, if we made people smile when we walk into a room.
If we’re a person who meant what they said…talked the talk and walked the walk.  Don’t ever let your mouth write a check that your butt can’t cash.  That’s good stuff right there!!

So, I go back to my friend Donna’s house in NC.  Donna, Kim and I are standing in the middle of her living room, with the stereo blasting.  She’s got her guitar out to jam along when she or I feel the urge.  Donna’s sister is sweet as punch.  She makes mixtape  cd’s of different songs, and it’s from all over the place.  She gave Donna this particular cd with a bunch of country and bluegrass on it.  We are jumping and dancing around to this “All the Time” song,  and no one knows who the heck it is yet.  But, we are hitting repeat nonstop and dancing like nobody’s business…just having a great time!! Thank God for the Sound hound app. Her name is Elizabeth Cook.

This girl sounds kinda like Dolly Parton, but yet, totally her own style.  It’s hard to explain.  But the girl can sing!  And she’s purty too!  Everytime I play this song, I am immediately back in Donna’s living room, just tearing it up with the rest of my crazy hippie music buddies.  As my sweet friend Kim likes to say, ” We had us a TIME”!!!!!! 
Life is too short and time is not long enough to be wasted.  Time is more valuable than money…and so are YOU!!!
Don’t waste your life away with only work and busy schedules.  We all need each other.  Right?!  Right on.

Thanks for spending some time with me.  I cherish your love and support, and hope somehow that these writings will be meaningful for us all.

Our band, Sanctuary, will be performing this Saturday at Buffalo Creek in Prosperity, starting at 6pm.  It’s on the lake with hot food and cold drink.  Come on out and bring a smile or hug with you.  I’ll take both.  😀
Thanks again and we’ll talk soon. 
Love to all!
