I love old stuff! Maybe that's why I'm excited about the restoration of Goree to the olden' days. I love pulling out memories that give me warm fuzzies. Lately, I've listened to the songs on the Goree Blog over and over. "Drive" by Alan Jackson reminds me of my Grandpa teaching me to drive in an old red standard pick-up truck that I had to use both arms to change gears. "Remember When" stirs the waters, too.Remember me saying that I was going to watch one of my favorite movies again...? The other night I watched "One Night With The King" all by myself and had a special time with the Lord. The only problem...it made me homesick to be with HIM. And I don't mean in a quiet-time. I mean with HIM...face to face in heaven, I'm supposin'. Discontentment with this world slid in there sooo very easily. I sorta relate to Psalm 84:
1 How lovely is your dwelling place,
O LORD Almighty!
2 My soul yearns, even faints,
for the courts of the LORD;
my heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God.
10 Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
Am I crazy or WHAT? I've got it made in the shade lemonade in the here and now...the best life, ever. But boy, do I have so much more to look forward to in eternity. In the end of my dilemma, a song by Point of Grace spoke to me this morning. It talks about 'Have what you want, but want what you have. Don't spend your life lookin' back' (or forward~my add). Be blessed...POG.

Feelin' what you mean about homesick. Sometimes you just feel like you're in the wrong place, or there is somewhere else you need to get to when really you're right where you are supposed to be.Isn't "Homesick" a MercyMe song? I think BDog sings it too, and sings it well as usual.
