Think/Talk About These Things

My husband can be seen on the right, paddling home.

He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all, 

how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 

Romans 8:32

August 9

My husband has grown to enjoy the stories told through country music.  One of his favorites this summer is by Toby Keith and  carries the title: "I Want to Talk About Me".  The lyrics are a hoot. I've posted them below, as well as a link to the song, in case you want to sing along!  Yesterday morning we were kayaking and he was singing the chorus.  I told him I bet Jesus wishes we would talk about him and what he has done for us more often.

On a towel rack, in my bathroom, hangs a towel with a reminder from Philippians 4:8.

Jesus is all these things, so let's think and talk about Him more often.

"I Wanna Talk About Me"

We talk about your work how your boss is a jerk
We talk about your church and your head when it hurts
We talk about the troubles you've been having with your brother
About your daddy and your mother and your crazy ex-lover
We talk about your friends and the places that you've been
We talk about your skin and the dimples on your chin
The polish on your toes and the run in your hose
And God knows we're gonna talk about your clothes
You know talking about you makes me smile
But every once in awhile

I wanna talk about me
Wanna talk about I
Wanna talk about number one
Oh my me my
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see
I like talking about you, usually, but occassionally
I wanna talk about me
I wanna talk about me

We talk about your dreams and we talk about your schemes
your high school team and your moisturizer creme
We talk about your nanna up in Muncie, Indiana
We talk about your grandma down in Alabama
We talk about your guys of every shape and size
The ones that you despise and the ones you idolize
We talk about your heart, about your brains and your smarts
And your medical charts and where you start
You know talking about you makes me grin
But every now and then

I wanna talk about me
Wanna talk about I
Wanna talk about number one
Oh my me my
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see
I like talking about you, usually, but occassionally
I wanna talk about me
I wanna talk about me

You you you you you you you you youyouyouyouyou
I wanna talk about me

I wanna talk about me
Wanna talk about I
Wanna talk about number one
Oh my me my
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see
I like talking about you, usually, but occassionally
I wanna talk about me
I wanna talk about me
