I'm realizing really quickly the things at East Bayou that I'm going to miss most whenever I move to DFW.

Probably the thing I'll miss the most is just being Mike Walker's son. While I don't want to take anything I haven't earned on my own, just b/c I'm a preacher's kid, I will definitely miss being in his inner circle. Getting to meet with him in between services and talk about what we can do better for the next service and just talking about church stuff has been a blast.

And I'll miss getting to work with Ward. Ward, our music pastor, is amazing. I love just watching him sing his heart out. Not only does he have a heart and passion that is inspiring, but he also has the musci ability to ummm.... what we call.... Rock It Out! The people he uses to make up the band all are just good. From musicians to vocalists, the music here rocks! I'll miss it a ton.

Today we did a song called "Shipwreck" by a band called Starfield. It's a slow piano driven song that our drummer Bryan Pitre did. Here's the lyrics for the first part of the song. They're awesome!

"I built a fortress, with a hundred thousand faces,
I'll keep it safe, with a hundred thousand more.
But these masks are wearing thin, as You draw me in.

I spent my time on the empty and the fleeting.
I spent my life on much less than what I'd dreamed.
But I'm reaching out to You, to make me new.

'Cause I am just a beggar, here at Your door.
I am just a shipwreck here on Your shore.
I come empty handed, ready to see,
Your life in me changing who I've been,
To who I need to be."

she told him she'd rather fix her makeup
than try to fix what's going on
but the problem keeps on calling
even with the cellphone gone
she told him that she believes in living
bigger than she's living now
but her world keeps spinning backwards
and upsidedown
don't say so long, and throw yourself wrong
don't spend today away
cuz today will soon be

gone, like yesterday is gone,
like history is
gone, just trying to prove me wrong
and pretend like you're immortal

she said he said live like no tomorrow
every day we borrow
brings us one step closer to the edge (infinity)
where's your treasure, where's your hope
if you get the world and lose your soul
she pretends like she pretends like she's immortal
don't say so long
you're not that far gone
this could be your big chance to makeup
today will soon be

gone, like yeterday is gone,
like history is gone,
the world keeps spinning on,
your going going gone,
like summer break is gone,
like saturday is gone
just trying to prove me wrong
you pretend like your immortal your immortal

we are not infinite
we are not permanent
nothing is immediate
we're so confident
in our accomplishments
look at our decadence

gone, like Frank Sinatra
like Elvis and his mom
like AL Pacino's cash nothing lasts in this life
my highschool dreams are gone
my childhood sweets are gone
life is a day that doesn't last for long

life is more than money
time was never money
time was never cash,
life is still more than girls
life is more than hundred dollar bills
and roto-tom fills
life's more than fame and rock and roll and thrills
all the riches of the kings
end up in wills we got information in the information age
but do we know what life is
outside of our convenient Lexus cages

she said he said live like no tomorrow
every moment that we borrow
brings us closer to the God who's not short of cash
hey Bono i'm glad you asked
life is still worth living, life is still worth living


Such cool lyrics, and the music behing it is just fun.
