Just The Way It Was
I’ve never been a fan of long goodbyes. They often hurt more than a quick “see ya.” There’s also the old saying, “If you love something, let it go…” but in this case, it backfired, and they ended up leaving anyway.
I Believe
What a blessing it is to have such an anchor in Christ! His love is on a level that I believe we, as humans, struggle to fully comprehend. While many people seek substitutes to fill that void, they ultimately find themselves in the same place they’ve always been.
At one point in my life, I sold Kirby vacuum cleaners door-to-door, and we had a quirky gimmick to get into homes for demonstrations. Each morning, we would pre-purchase 2-liter bottles of soda to offer homeowners in exchange for the chance to show off our product—“no commitments whatsoever.”
One particularly sweltering summer day, I found myself in a non-air-conditioned van, sweating in my long dress pants and tie. Thirsty and desperate, I opened one of my “props” and guzzled down a huge gulp of hot cola. It felt refreshing for about three seconds, but then I was even thirstier than before! Why? Because my body needed WATER—only pure water would suffice. Sodas, seltzers, or anything else wouldn’t do; I needed H2O, and I needed it badly.
In a similar way, many people experience a “thirst” in their souls and try various things to quench it. Yet, if it isn’t Jesus, that thirst will never truly be satisfied. With Christ as our anchor, we can navigate life’s challenges with resilience and strength.
Funky Fish
Sometimes when I’m writing a song, I’ll stumble upon a rhythm I really like and start jotting down random syllable words to capture that groove. In this particular case, I went back to review those words, and I couldn’t help but laugh at how utterly random they were. It was amusing to see what came out! I did, however, sneak in a little nod to Jaws for fun. 🙂

Is It Just Me
This song is entirely inspired by a situation I faced while dating a girl who unexpectedly decided we should see other people. While I was away attending a funeral, she started dating someone else. When I returned, she was far from forthcoming about what had happened. Eventually, I found out from friends that she had gone out with this total loser.
Interestingly, I wasn’t as upset as I might have expected. The writing was on the wall, and deep down, I realized she wasn’t worth my effort. At first, I cared way too much about our breakup, but with time, I came to appreciate how everything unfolded. In the end, I was grateful for how things turned out.
