Music Monday 7.9.07

This is a special Music Monday as I'm unable to do anything without thinking about my wife and surgery this Friday.  So here are some songs I've been playing because they in some way make me think of how much I love Molly.  Some of the songs are how I feel in full.  Some are slightly out of context of our relationship, but maybe a section of the song hits me.  Hope you enjoy.

"Shameless" by Garth Brooks  (This is our song, a song we danced to in college as we started dating.  Still love the song.)

I have never let anything have this much control over me
I work too hard to call my life my own
And Ive made myself a world and its worked so perfectly
But its your world now, I cant refuse
Ive never had so much to lose
Oh, Im shameless.

"Shelter" by Ray LaMontagne (Love the idea of protection.)

When all of this around us fall over
I tell you what we're gonna do
You will shelter me my love
And I will shelter you
I will shelter you

"If It's the Beaches" by The Avett Brothers (A bit out of context, but I love the ending.  I have watched this video 5 times at least in the last week.)

If it's the beaches
If it's the beaches' sands you want
Then you will have them
If it's the mountains' bending rivers
Then you will have them
If it's the wish to run away
Then I will grant it
Take whatever what you think of
While I go gas up the truck
Pack the old love letters up
We will read them when we forget why we left here

Wow. A tear jerking, honest reminder to thank God for my wife tonight and pray for yours... Thanks for being vulnerable.

We're praying for all of you, asking for God's grace, mercy and peace to be abundant.

(By the way...Shameless is by Billy Joel. Sorry, I'm a fanatic.)
