Why Don't I Pray Like This?

"Holy Spirit of God, visit now this soul of mine, and tarry within it until the eventide. Inspire all my thoughts. Pervade all my imaginations. Suggest all my decisions. Lodge in my soul's most inward citadel, and order all my doings. Be with me in silence and in my speech, in my haste and in my leisure, in company and in solitude, in the freshness of the morning and the weariness of the evening. Give me grace at all times to rejoice in Thy mysterious companionship."
  - John Baillie
Wow, were people just deeper back then or am I just so much more shallow? Makes you wonder how different one would be if this prayer were prayed every morning. Maybe that's why John Baillie has his words quoted even today and a Wikipedia entry.

Signs from Harry Hines Blvd near Dallas Love Field

I'll bet this place was hoppin' back in the day. I'd hate to think what's hoppin' there now.

Tagxedo - Tag Cloud with Styles

I've tried this site before Tagxedo - Tag Cloud with Styles. It makes a tag cloud out of whatever text you enter. I used "The Love of God" lyrics for a test. What do you think?

Andy McKee = Holy Cow!

This Andy McKee video officially blew my mind. What do you think? I'm guessing he's playing in some sort of open tuning but what?.

Avett Brothers - iTunes Video of the Day

My current favorite band - The Avett Brothers - are today's free video of the day on iTunes (Thanks for the heads up Tim Green). I can't really pinpoint what it is about them - maybe their honesty or the punk elements they toss in - but I can't get enough. Plus, it's fun to play along. You either love them or hate them, seemingly. If you haven't heard them yet, go to Grooveshark and give them a listen. I hope to see them live some day.

Sky Styler Freestyle Disc from Discraft

I just bought a new frisbee (or flying disc): the Sky Styler Freestyle Disc from Discraft from Disc Golf Station. I saw some guys flying a frisbee in Myrtle Beach in stiff wind that flew really straight. I did some research and bought the disc listed above. While browsing around the site, I found some disc golf packages. Seth and I have been playing disc golf on Wii Sports Resort and it's fun. Recently, Roane County Park installed a disc golf course. I want to try it out. Maybe I'll get myself a golf package. We'll see. If I do, I'll definitely get it from Disc Golf Station, especially since they offer free shipping.
