Shout Out of the week!!

  OK, I know I said I would write about my experience at the James Taylor concert yesterday, but it was so dog gone good it took me 2 days to recover.  No joking, JT was the best he has ever been.  3 encores were what it took to finally keep the crowd from becoming a "mob". 

One of the best parts of the night for Angie and me was getting to spend time with our good friends Jen and Andy Boswell.  It is amazing how God orchestrates friendships, but we met Jen and Andy through their son Taylor (AKA Frodo).  From the moment we sat down for a conversation with them, it was very apparent that there was a connection. Suffice it to say, this is a couple Angie and I adore.  Andy and Jen...here is a shout out to you from Blake and Angie.  We love and appreciate you guys more than you know.

When we were leaving, one of the songs that I said I wished JT had sung was "The Secret of Life."  I love the lyrics because they so eloquently describe the simple truth about life and friendship.  Jen and Andy...these are for you.

The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time
Any fool can do it
There ain't nothing to it
Nobody knows how we got to
The top of the hill
But since we're on our way down
We might as well enjoy the ride

The secret of love is in opening up your heart
It's okay to feel afraid
But don't let that stand in your way
'cause anyone knows that love is the only road
And since we're only here for a while
Might as well show some style
Give us a smile

Thanks for the smiles.  Thanks for a wonderful night.  Thanks for the friendship.

Blake
