back to the basics...

after the state of the union address by the president...facebook was fluttered with comments...both for & against what president obama said...what he's done...what he hasn't done...what i noticed...was that you can pretty much put a spin on a certain topic and make it sound really good...or really bad...

which is probably why when it comes to politics...i don't have much to say...other then...we should be praying for whoever is in office...at the moment...whether we wanted him there or not...

same holds true at trials...as was witnessed in my last jury duty commitment that i was a part of...both sides brought in expert witnesses...and both expert witnesses spinned the truth to match which side they were on...

which brings me to one of my all-time favorite songs...for me it is all connected...i think we as people make things harder then they need to be...we need to return to the "basics of life"

basics of life - 4Him

We've turned the page, for a new day has dawned
We've re-arranged what is right and what's wrong
Somehow we've drifted so far from the truth
That we can't get back home
Where are the virtues that once gave us light
Where are the morals that governed our lives
Someday we all will awake and look back
Just to find what we've lost

We need to get back to the basics of life
A heart that is pure and a love that is blind
A faith that is fervently grounded in Christ
The hope that endures for all times
These are the basics, we need to get back to the basics of life

The newest rage is to reason it out
Just meditate and you can overcome every doubt
After all man is a God, they say
God is no longer alive
But I still believe in the old rugged cross
And I still believe there is hope for the lost
And I know the rock of all ages will stand
Through changes of time

We need to get back to the basics of life
A heart that is pure and a love that is blind
A faith that is fervently grounded in Christ
The hope that endures for all times
These are the basics, we need to get back to the basics of life

BRIDGE
We've let the darkness invade us too long
We've got to turn the tide
Oh and we need the passion that burned long ago
To come and open our eyes
There's no room for compromise

We need to get back to the basics of life
A heart that is pure and a love that is blind
A faith that is fervently grounded in Christ
The hope that endures for all times
These are the basics, we need to get back to the basics of life
