Choices...And Michael Bolton

So, I awoke this morning to a phone call. At 5:10am. My shift at work started at 5am.  Jumped out of bed...well, actually, I climbed down out of bed(I have a loft bed), threw on my clothes in the dark, and ran out the door. Thankfully I live only 2 minutes from where I work, so I wasn’t too late.
I love days like these!(sarcasm.)
It’s funny how just one thing going wrong so early in the morning can mess with your attitude the rest of the day. Granted, it’s only 10am right now.
But, I have a choice to make:
I can beat myself up for accidentally turning off my alarm this am, while in a crazy dream, and being late for work
OR...
I can remember that I am a human, who messes up sometimes, the world will keep spinning, that one bad morning doesn’t have to ruin my day, and be happy that I’m breathing, still have my job, and have a God who loves me in all my weakness.

Hmm..I think I’ll take door number 2.

On another note, (pun intended)- I just listened to the new Michael Bolton album “One World One Love”. Go ahead. I see you laughing.
I have to say, not too shabby, Mr. B.

The guy’s got such a great voice, and, apparently, a lasting presence.
And you can’t deny that, no matter how much guilt you feel over having any of his songs on your ipod.

Did you know he’s written songs for Kiss, Peabo Bryson, Barbara Streisand; and he’s co-written with BabyFace, Diane Warren and Bob Dylan!

“One World One Love” is definitely ALL pop, beginning to end. My brother told me it reminded him of Jordin Sparks’ “Battlefield” album.  Hehe...
But it’s the kind of music that just makes you feel good, gets stuck in your head, and drives you crazy(and, let’s admit it, in a mostly good way). Well, that’s what pop songs are supposed to do, right?
It also probably wasn’t a bad move to collab with Lady GaGa and Ne-Yo on this new album. Plus, he cut the mullet and is looking pretty good for his age.

Yep. I like Mike.
Mullet and all.
The End.

PS:  Now you are going to have "How Am I Supposed To Live Without You" stuck in your head for the rest of the day. You're welcome :)

  1. You know the rock of the church, Peter, messed up a lot! More than just missing an alarm clock, he was a hypocrite when he acted differently around Gentiles and Jews, not for the right reasons, but because he was a coward! Yet he helped found the Christian Church for all eternity. God works through the most interesting people. I pray to be completely faulty like Peter or Paul or James, so that I may glorify God by magnifying His grace towards me. Much Love!
