its all about networking...
life isnt who you are its ho you know. or maybe its more like if you are lame and know people it doesnt matter if you are awesome but dont know people you are screwed but if you are cool and know people so many things fall into place. this is what i am realizing as i start on a new adventure, i am going to be a promoter for my friend jeremys band. i am going to try and help him set up shows and talk with record labels and we are going to try and get things rolling for him to be a rock star and me to be a rider of the rock stars coat tails. man i know so many people who are awesome and will be able to help me out in some ways or another. how is it that i know the best people to know. i think that my friends are the best friends that a guy could have and i am so thankful that they are my friends.
i have been readin praise habit by david crowder and i am really liking it. he goes through some psalms and talks about them and relates them to his life. its neat to see other peoples lifes and how scripture relates and this makes me want to go deeper and think more about what it means for my life. psalms 88 was what i read htis morning and it was a little depressing but so good.
A song. A psalm of the Sons of Korah. For the director of music. According to mahalath leannoth. A maskil of Heman the Ezrahite.
1[a] [b]
O LORD, the God who saves me,
day and night I cry out before you.
2 May my prayer come before you;
turn your ear to my cry.
3 For my soul is full of trouble
and my life draws near the grave. [c]
4 I am counted among those who go down to the pit;
I am like a man without strength.
5 I am set apart with the dead,
like the slain who lie in the grave,
whom you remember no more,
who are cut off from your care.
6 You have put me in the lowest pit,
in the darkest depths.
7 Your wrath lies heavily upon me;
you have overwhelmed me with all your waves.
Selah
8 You have taken from me my closest friends
and have made me repulsive to them.
I am confined and cannot escape;
9 my eyes are dim with grief.
I call to you, O LORD, every day;
I spread out my hands to you.
10 Do you show your wonders to the dead?
Do those who are dead rise up and praise you?
Selah
11 Is your love declared in the grave,
your faithfulness in Destruction [d] ?
12 Are your wonders known in the place of darkness,
or your righteous deeds in the land of oblivion?
13 But I cry to you for help, O LORD;
in the morning my prayer comes before you.
14 Why, O LORD, do you reject me
and hide your face from me?
15 From my youth I have been afflicted and close to death;
I have suffered your terrors and am in despair.
16 Your wrath has swept over me;
your terrors have destroyed me.
17 All day long they surround me like a flood;
they have completely engulfed me.
18 You have taken my companions and loved ones from me;
the darkness is my closest friend.
got to talk to my friend jasen about how life is up here and every time i talk about it i feel like there is more to like. there are somehtings that are not the best but i would have to say all in all this place isnt the worst place that i have lived. it feels good to know that the darkness of williston is lifting. now if i could just find friends who are artsy it would be great!
