Matchbox 20-Unwell/ Brett Dennen-Blessed

Our Story-Year Thirteen
at
http://sixgreggs.blogspot.com

Trying to help someone that 1)Doesn't want your help and B)Doesn't recognize there is a problem, is a difficult place to be in.
Especially when that person is someone very close to you.
Thankfully, sometimes a double portion of grace is given and things get better...even if it may be temporary.
"Stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me."



No matter what life brings--
The ups, the downs.
The heartaches and the joys.
What a blessing to have a God that "SO LOVES" you,
four wonderful, fun-loving, beautiful kids,
a career that brings satisfaction,
and a wife that will do anything to support your crazy dreams.
I love you, Mrs. Gregg.
May we have many more.

"This is the most magnificent life has ever been."

Nickelback-If Today Was Your Last Day

Our Story Year 12
at
http://sixgreggs.blogspot.com

Are you frustrated?
Bored?
Depressed?
If so, you are probably robbing the joy from other people's lives.
Other people?
Yes.
If you aren't doing what you alone were designed to do, then other people aren't benefiting from your gifts or talents.
Are you wasting your days?
You don't have to.
Figure out what you were created to do and do it.
You will find contentment and a sense of self-worth like never before.
We were designed to contribute to others' life experience.
Do it today as if it were your last chance.

"Each day's a gift not a given right."

Natasha Bedingfield- Pocketful Of Sunshine

Our Story- Year Eleven
at
http://sixgreggs.blogspot.com


Life has it's ups and downs.
I think that's true for everyone, regardless of social, financial, educational, etc. status.
The key is that when you are down, keep moving.
Failure isn't the ride down.
Failure is quitting.
Failure is getting off the ride.
Failure is giving up.
Keep moving.
Never give up.
Never quit.
Hide yourself in the Rock, the Secret Place.
But keep moving.

"The sun (Son) is on my side and takes me for a ride
I smile up to the sky, I know I'll be alright."

Alicia Keys- No One/ The B-52's- Rock Lobster

Our Story-Year Ten
at
http://sixgreggs.blogspot.com/

Ten years is a milestone.
In order to have 50 years, you have to start with 10.
(Or one).
One of the best trips that I have been on has been our Florida Keys anniversary trip.

"You can be sure
That it will only get better."





For about 10 years, I took myself too seriously.
It's important to get done what you're supposed to do.
But, it's also OK to have fun.
One day on our trip to Bahia Honda State Park, we encountered the "Bahia Honda Thong Man".
The trip was great except for that.

"Let's rock!
...Boys in bikinis!"

Hannah Montana/Sheryl Crow- Need A Little Love

I'm not sure I should admit this.
But I was actually a little impressed with Miley Cyrus last year when she was a judge on American Idol.
I'm not super crazy about her music as either alter ego.
But either she's got some talent or she's been around show biz long enough to fake it.
I guess either one could be true.
At any rate, she conducted herself very professionally.
But...I hear tickets to her concerts are like $50-$250.
Did you just read that?
I mean, dang.
I was about to write that there's no way.
But, do you remember the commercial from a few years back with the dad driving his daughter and her friends to a concert.
I'm sure in a few years that I'll be that guy.
Whether it's to Miley or Carly or the latest boy band.
I'd do it for my Be-Bop.
This song doesn't suck as bad because it has Sheryl Crow in it.

Jimmy Durante- As Time Goes By

Well, the Christmas season is almost upon us.
And with the Christmas season comes all the pretty lights and decorations, Christmas music, and of course, the Christmas movies and shows on TV.
The Grinch is always one of my favorites.
Charlie Brown---most definitely.
And then there's the clay animation.
Rudolph, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, and...oh yes...
There is the animated "Frosty the Snowman".
You know, as many times that I have heard the song, "Frosty the Snowman", if asked I could never sing it through all the way.
Kind of strange.
Anyways, the cartoon is one of the Rankin/Bass classics.
The narration and the most of the songs are done by none other than Jimmy "Ha-cha-cha-chaa" Durante.
I used to start playing Christmas music on November 1st.
I'm thinking that this year maybe that's a little too early.
But the kids are already with the "Jingle bells Batman smells" stuff.
Here's a little non-Christmas Durante to enjoy...at least until after Thanksgiving.

Rascal Flatts-Life Is A Highway

Alright, back to the script.
Our Story-Year Nine
at
http://sixgreggs.blogspot.com/

"There's a world outside every darkened door
...Come ride with me to the distant shore."

Life, in it's sometimes hideous costumes, scare the pee-pee out of you.
It's then that you grab somebody's arm and just keep moving.
If you stop, you'll wallow in doubt, depression, and self-pity.
If you can just make it up the next hill, sandy shores await...and the view is terrific.
