Out Little Walflower

Myles is anything but a Walflower!! Last night around 9pm Brad and I were out running a quick errand and we get a call from Myles. He noticed that our neighbor Becky was in her garage giving Derick a hair cut. So Myles calls me and puts me on speaker phone so that I can tell Becky it is ok for her to cut Myles' hair too! The child has no qualms about asking for what he wants. So Becky was a sport and gave Myles a great trim and even a new style (though Myles didn't appreciatte her parted-down-the-middle styling technics!!) :) Myles really likes to go over to their house and visit. Myles finds it ultra-cool that Derick is an adult and can still ride a skate board better then he can! So thanks for humoring our little Walflower when he drops by!

In remeberance of the Sept. 11th Terrorist attacks that happend 7 years ago:

"Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day?
Were you in the yard with your wife and children?
Or working on some stage in LA?
Did you stand there in shock at the sight ofThat black smoke rising against that blue sky?
Did you shout out in angerIn fear for your neighbor?
Or did you just sit down and cry?
Did you weep for the childrenWho lost their dear loved ones
And pray for the ones who don't know?
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
And sob for the ones left below?
Did you burst out with prideFor the red white and blue
And the heroes who died just doing what they do?
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer
And look at yourself and what really matters

I'm just a singer of simple songs
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you
The difference in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith, Hope and Love are some good things He gave us
And the greatest is Love

Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day?
Teaching a class full of innocent children?
Or driving down some cold interstate?
Did you feel guilty cause you're a survivor?
In a crowded room did you feel alone?
Did you call up your mother and tell her you loved her?
Did you dust off that Bible at home?
Did you open your eyes, hope it never happened?
Close your eyes and not go to sleep?
Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages?
Speak with some stranger on the street?
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow?
Go out and buy you a gun?
Did you turn off that violent home movie you're watching
And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns?
Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers?
Stand in line and give your own blood?
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family?
Thank God you had somebody to love

Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day?"
