There's got to be sanity around here somewhere

It’s been about a week since I last wrote a blog. One of the reasons I was hesitant to even start a blog was that if I wasn’t consistent then my blogspot would be yet another testament to my lack of commitment and faithful resolve, a published record of my messy and inconsistent life that never ends up like I had planned. But here I am…I guess it’s time to catch up.

It's not that my week was uneventful, it was actually quite the opposite. However, this last week have left me feeling a little uneasy and quite unsettled. I've sat down to write 100 times but my thoughts seem disconnected and messy. I'm questioning truth and fate, my story and the role of faith. To be perfectly transparent, its been overwhelming.

I've been listening to a lot of Ray LaMontagne and Martin Sexton. Music has always been therapeutic for me and listening to either of these artist's thoughtful lyrics and rich tones has been a saving grace. I must have listened to Faith on the Table 100 times today. This isn't my favorite version of this song (there is one on myspace that is incredible) but the lyrics describe so perfectly where I am. I'm sure there is sanity here somewhere, I've just got to find it.




When you're down and feeling left out
Wondering what this pain is about
Here's something mother taught me When I was a child
It's passed down from an old generation
To let us all in on the new revelation
See the light and comfort will be on the way

it's on the way

Just take a little faith off the table
And get a little hope out of the jar
There’s got to be sanity around here somewhere
and let’s shake it up.
