Great Petra song and a fantastic reminder

For some reason this song is stuck in my head this morning. I've been praying about some things and maybe this is one of God's answers. I just need to continue to "Walk by faith, not by sight".

Thompson Twins

This was one of my favorite songs when I was in high school. It still is one of my favorite songs.

"Hold Me Now"

i have a picture
pinned to my wall
an image of you and of me
we were laughing with love in it all

look at our life now
tattered and torn
fussing and fighting
delighting with tears
and we cry until dawn

(oh oh)
hold me now
(woah)
hold my hand
stay with me
let loving start
let loving start

you say i'm a dreamer
we're two of a kind
both of us searching for
some perfect world
we know we'll never find

so perhaps i should leave here
yeah go far away
but you know that
there's nowhere that
i'd rather be than
with you here today

~Chorus
(oh oh)
hold me now
(oh)
hold my hand
stay with me
let loving start
let loving start

(repeat chorus)

woah oh oh

you ask if i love you
what can i say
you know that i do
and that this is just
one of those games that we play

so i sing you a new song
please don't cry any more
and i ask your forgiveness
though i don't know just
what i'm asking it for

(oh oh oh oh)
hold me now
(woah)
hold my hand
stay with me
let loving start
let loving start...

(repeats til end)

More from the 'net

Here is a wonderful NPR interview with the one, the only, COOKIE MONSTER!!!!!!! It really is a great interview and reminds me so much of growing up with Sesame Street.

Also, in an answer to my posting yesterday on the design on a dime, my brother sent me this link. (sorry, embedding wasn't acting nice!) It's quite fascinating! 3 graphic artists recreate Omaha Beach on a shoe string. Thanks, John! (PS: Traveling mercies. Tom and I are looking forward to seeing you and Angela!)
