Bryan David
I’ve got my laughing muscles all packed with ice after a doozie of a weekend. My cousin Bryan and his wife Lisa were in town for a few days so Angel and I tried to soak up as much of them as we could. Bryan and I spent a bunch of time sitting on the couch with our guitars bouncing songs off one another. While we were doing that Angel and Lisa were talking about, I don’t know, girl stuff I guess, candles, kitties, deodorant, solvents, explosives, the usual.
It’s amazing to me to think of how little time Bryan and I spent together growing up (especially since our dads were/are so close) but how incredibly similar we are. We realized that we really didn’t know that much about each other, other than what I knew of his musical career from his website and vice versa. So we had a lot of catching up to do. And we did.
Bryan and I played an acoustic version of one of his songs called “Closer” at church last night. Great song! I think his dad shot some video of the performance so maybe that’ll show up on YouTube or something. It was a great feeling singing with Bryan. I don’t know what is happening to me but everything makes me cry these days so I was trying not to sniffle and blubber too much while we sang. It felt like the culmination of something. I don’t know what. Just something. Something good. I was honored.
For those of you who pray, please say a few prayers for Bryan and Lisa. They are facing some things right now that would cause anxiety even in a dead man.
You got it. Anybody who is in a marriage and is facing adversity is in my prayers. Drew, I know what you mean about the crying thing- it doesn’t take much for me these days. Hell, I cry over TV commercials…
I pray . . . and I will. God is faithful and will provide for Bryan and Lisa. Their steps, too, are ordered of the Lord.
“It felt like the culmination of something. I don’t know what. Just something. Something good. I was honored.”
Maybe what you felt was the beginning of you turning into a woman…suck it up.
[i hope you understand that i am 150% joking with that remark...please don't hurt me]
I don’t pray… and I just did.
This is sort of off the subject (but still on the subject of prayer), but I would like to ask everyone to remember my friend Kay in your prayers, and her daughter Karla. Karla was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago, and it was gone, but came back in several different spots on her body. Some of the spots have been healed, but the cancer is still in her lungs. She was in the hospital, but they have sent her home, and the doctors have told the family that there is nothing left they can do. It could be days, or maybe only hours, but she is dying. She has a husband and two children (I believe they may be both in their teens, one may be younger). Please remember this family. It’s not too late for a miracle, either. I don’t know if many of you know about this, but my grandfather was diagnosed with stage 4 Lymphoma last year, and was completely, miraculously healed within a few months, so I know that miracles still happen today.
