This is the same recording as last time, I’m just reposting it so that it has a dedicated post and so I can put it in it’s own player on my server, instead of podbean.

Underrated
Sometimes I think that this life is overrated cause everything’s the same today it’s all been rearranged but the same at the core nothing really changed
I need something new to breathe I need something new to breathe
Well, if that’s the way it’s got to be then maybe the change should be in me if there’s a way to break monotony it’s walking away from what I used to be over and over again over and over again
I see that look in their eyes but what can I do I’m just a link in the chain I know that I should really care, it should break my heart but I can’t feel past my pain
Sometimes I think that this life is overrated but maybe it’s just me
I was actually able to get around to recording another one of my songs today. I’m not particularly proud of this performance, but if I don’t start moving a long, I’ll never get them all safely archived. So here it is (and with my new player! Now I can safely store my songs on my own server):

Love Me Either Way
-Garrett
I look into this mirror
Though dimly now it shines
Dark and musty but just a reflection
Or is it who I am inside?
You love me either way
It’s not about who I am
Your love is just the same
You are love either way
Come sun or come rain
Come grace or come strain
These shoes wear the path everyday
But if I stumble behind and everyone passes me by
When the tears on my face have dried
Would You listen if I told You that I tried?
Can I ever understand
The Love that You have
Cause the Love I have is blind
Covered by my sin and pride
To date, I have not found anything that can match the power of the Blue Letter Bible for research. Though it is ugly and not good for reading, it’s probably the most useful tool for studying meanings and translation.
In fact, most online Bible’s are not good for reading, which I think is sad. At least I was sad until this morning!
eBible does include good search, tagging, and commentary tools, but what I like most is the simple streaming interface it uses. In “study” mode (just click the magnifying glass to turn it on), it has pleasant, readable, text that is not cluttered with countless notes and numbers and scrolls forever. There is no scroll bar or bottom of the page and it even features a parralel mode if you’d like to compare two translations.
Although it won’t be replacing the Blue Letter Bible for studying particular passages, I think it will become one of my favorite casual reading Bibles. Very nice!

“From the flustering Prohibition – the only Constitutional amendment ever to be repealed – to the everyday complexities of liquor laws, American society has argued and agonized over alcohol for several centuries. It has often served as a sort of therapeutic punching bag for the ills of society, as it tends to naturally elicit an emotional response.“
