Live Like We're Dying _ Are you?

I was listening to the radio the other day and heard a new song by Kris Allen. Kris won American Idol last year. Below is the link where you can listen to the song.



Live Like We're Dying Lyrics - Kris Allen

Sometimes we fall down and can't get back up
We're hiding behind skin that's too tough
How come we don't say I love you enough
Till it's too late, it's not too late
Our hearts are hungry for a food that won't come
We could make a feast from these crumbs
And we're all staring down the barrel of a gun
So if your life flashed before you, what would you wish you would've done

[Chorus]
Yeah, gotta start
Looking at the hands of the time we've been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin' it
Every second counts on a clock that's tickin'
Gotta live like we're dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we're dying

And if your plane fell out of the skies
Who would you call with your last goodbyes
Should be so careful who we left out of our lives
So when we long for absolution, there'll be no one on the line

Yeah, gotta start
Looking at the hands of the time we've been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin' it
Every second counts on a clock that's tickin'
Gotta live like we're dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we're dying

Like we're dying
Oh, like we're dying
Like we're dying
Oh, ike we're dying

We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we're dying

You never know a good thing until it's gone
You never see a crash until it's head on
All these people right when we're dead wrong,
You never know a good thing till it's gone

Yeah, gotta start
Looking at the hands of the time we've been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin' it
Every second counts on a clock that's tickin'
Gotta live like we're dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we're dying

Like we're dying
Oh, like we're dying
Like we're dying
Oh, like we're dying

We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we're dying

Monday

Well, it is Monday and for the life of me I can't think of anything to post! I took a little break last week just trying to get back into a more normal week. My wonderful husband helped prepare a menu and got the older kids helping out more with meals so the week went pretty smooth.

Monty and I are studying the Precept Upon Precept Colossians course with another couple and a friend on Wednesday nights and I am enjoying it so much. I took it about 10 years ago in Portland Oregon and it was so good. It is amazing how much you forget.



Last week we talked about who Christ is and that He is all we need. It was a great reminder to me because we live in such a world that tells us we need more time, more money, more stuff, etc.

We made a list of who Christ is:

Col. 1:15 The image of the invisible God
Col. 1:15 Firstborn over all creation
Col. 1:16 All things created by Him and for Him
Col. 1:17 He is before all things
Col. 1:17 He holds all things together
Col. 1:18 He is head of the body, the church
Col. 1:18 He is the beginning
Col. 1:18 He is the firstborn from the dead
Col. 2:9 All the fulness of the Diety dwells in Him in bodily form
Phil. 2:6 Existed in the form of God

The list could go on and on but I like making lists because it really helps me slow down and see who Christ is. We also listed what He claimed and what He accomplished. I learned so much about who my Lord and Savior is and what He has done for me. This week the lesson is on the church which is a great lesson and one that many do not understand. I am anxious to discuss this lesson with the others.

Have a great week!

Pizza

We have been trying to make homemade pizza for over a year now and finally we are beginning to really like it. My wonderful hubby bought me a large round pizza stone and a huge pizza peel for Christmas. I love it! He also bought me a huge dough mat for the counter and I was also thrilled to get it.


It seems that the key to making good pizza is heating the stone in the oven on 500 degrees for an hour. The peel helps be able to get the pizza onto the hot stone quickly and the stone doesn't lose heat. When the dough hits the stone it will start cooking immediately. I think next time I am going to try and cook the dough for a few minutes and then add the toppings. It is definitely a process and we are always learning on how to improve.





The pizza above has sausage, onions and bell peppers.


Our favorite is bbq chicken pizza using Sweet Baby Ray's Bbq sauce, purple onions, cliantro, chicken and mozzerella cheese.
