MUSIC PLAYED HERE
Music touches feelings that words can not. It's the melody of the heart and the voice of the spirit.

Garth Brooks - The Dance Lyrics
Writer(s): ARATA, TONY
Artist: Garth Brooks Lyrics
The dance we shared beneath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known you'd ever say goodbye
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I the king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance
Garth Brooks - Standing Outside The Fire Lyrics
Writer(s): JENNY YATES, GARTH BROOKS
Artist: Garth Brooks Lyrics
We call them cool
Those hearts that have no scars to show
The ones that never do let go
And risk it the tables being turned
We call them fools
Who have to dance within the flame
Who chance the sorrow and the shame
That always come with getting burned
But you got to be tough when consumed by desire
'Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire
We call them strong
Those who can face this world alone
Who seem to get by on their own
Those who will never take the fall
We call them weak
Who are unable to resist
The slightest chance love might exist
And for that forsake it all
They're so hell bent on giving, walking a wire
Convinced it's not living if you stand outside the fire
[Chorus:]
Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire
There's this love that is burning
Deep in my soul
Constantly yearning to get out of control
Wanting to fly higher and higher
I can't abide standing outside the fire

Pets vs People... from facebook notes post
Pets vs People...
by Dev-Sheila Sookram on Saturday, February 4, 2012 at 3:23pm
As I sit for a moment today in my feet pjs ( a gag gift from my mom for Christmas), validating that hot, dark chocolate is really a comfort food as well as a mood enhancer; I reflect on last night's TV show about animal horders.....
I reflect on all the broken relationships in many families and organizations due to people just simply not being able to forgive, accept, and love unconditionally. Many times animals, alcohol, possessions and other addictions are an escape from the real pain of reality that we all must face at one point or another. Most people also need to be needed and accepted and animals are the best therapy for that.
I also think of our new cat Jet as well as other pets I have enjoyed loving throughout my lifetime and how, even though they would have accidents and not behave the way I always expected, I still loved them and forgave them because I took it as my responsiblity to teach them since I felt they didn't know any better otherwise. I can't tell you how many times as a child I ran away from home to hide in our grove of evergreen trees on the east side of our country home with my pet and my guitar to have a good cry... that is until my little sister would call our dog Sandy and she would go to her and lead her right back to me. My pets always loved me back no matter my faults, mistakes, and shortcomings and that felt so good.
So why can't we (I) have that same attitude toward the humans relationships in our lives? God looks at us like helpless, blameless children so why can't we look at each other that way? Neither people or pets are the real enemy right? We know who the real enemy is and we simply must acknowledge that more frequently in our daily living to salvage the relationships that are most important to us and to God right?
