Two things...

I know i haven't updated in a while, but some things have been pressing enough lately to glue my fingers to the keyboard.

1) Jonathan Simon (my cousin) is down. He's part of this whole transcend thing too. You'll be hearing more out of him later, but for now, we've been working on a few songs that we'll hopefully be able to share with whoever reads this soon.

2) I have a regret. I'm sorry. I hate to be negative, but I don't want to have it again. My dad and I just got back from seeing a cute movie at the theater. On our way out, I had the feeling that I was going to get some sort of opportunity to share... with the intention of blowing it off. I hate to say that but the thought occurred. We exited the door and surprisingly, there was only one "couple" outside (remember, this is a Friday night at the movie theater) Anyway, I looked at the young man... he couldn't have been more than thirteen and his chemistry partner didn't look much older. I watched them for a few seconds... they looked serious. The kind of serious that lasts for about a week and then they're not speaking to each other. As we made our way back to the car, the lovebirds began playing tonsil hockey which made me absolutely sick. Not the fact that their mouths were touching, but these were young kids with their lives ahead of them and look how they were spending them! Dad opened the door for me and I thought of something I could say to them, "Uh, excuse me, I don't mean to interrupt, but don't you think you could save this for later?" As we drove home the regretfulness grew until it had consumed me enough to share my thoughts with the hopes I will never walk away from an opportunity like this again. I had just told God that I would do whatever He wanted. ouch.
Well, I'll keep you posted on how the CD is coming... hopefully next time I'll write of how I took that opportunity.
Regretful,
Gracie
