my friend, ben taylor. i'm proud.

I just found this video on YouTube. Can I just say that I live with him? Some of the comments on this video are pretty funny. Just to clarify: Ben Taylor (read his blog here)* is not the son of the James Taylor. He is actually the son of Bob and Karen Taylor and they are awesome.

*This is just a test to see if Ben ever reads my blog**.
**He will not be overly happy that I posted this***.
***The footnotes are inspired by Ben who was inspired by Danger Conn.

This Is Our God

It's cloudy out. I can feel the pain of the world around me. I'm not motivated. It's then that I remember this:

The refuge for the poor, a shelter from the storm
This is our God
He will wipe away your tears and return your
wasted years
This is our God
So call upon His Name, He is mighty to save
This is our God

A father to the orphan, a healer to the broken
This is our God
And he brings peace to our madness and comfort
in our sadness
This is our God
This is our God

A fountain for the thirsty, a lover for the lonely
This is our God
He brings glory to the humble and crowns for the faithful
This is our God
So call upon His Name, He is mighty to save
This is our God
