i see her walking in a crowd of familiar faces, she smiles at me
with eyes beautiful, and i wonder why she'd choose a man like me,
but i thank you God for her, she lifts me up
and i wanter her to see what she means to me
and i want her to know in God we'll be together
can you tell me why she smiles that way at me,
i get lost in her eyes like a satellite in the sky,

we walk alone beneath the stars and we look up above,
your beauty shines on us,
i wonder why you choose a man like me, but i thank you god for us
you lift us up and you want us to see what we mean to you
and you want us to know that in you we'll be together,
can you tell me why she smiles that way at me,
i get lost in her eyes like a satellite in the sky, shine out in the darkness,
wont you take me to a place ive never been where jesus holds the picture
and we see love the way its supposed to be,
its stronger than i, stretching past the stars we see, like a satellite in the sky, like a satellite in the sky,
and know help me sing this moment, let me stay like this,
hold me in your arms forever, i surrender to your kiss.

can you tell me why she smiles that way at me.
i get lost in her eyes like a satellite in the sky,
shine out int he darkness,
wont you take me to a place ive never been where jesus holds the picture
and we see love the way its meant to be, its stronger than i,
stretching past the stars we see.
can you tell me why she smiles that way at me,
i get lost in her eyes like a satellite in the sky.
like a satellite in they sky.

You and Whose Army?

America elects a pro-choice candidate and suddenly my fellow Christian brothers and sisters head for the hills screaming the world has come to an end. Are not abortion rates much higher in several other countries? Why aren't we just as concerned about "life" in those countries? America elects an economically progressive candidate and people are screaming "socialism" preparing for a Rapture. (An mid-1800's invention of conservative Christian theology). Doesn't America know that Democracy is one of the youngest political philosophies to be employed? Why do we think the fate of the world depends on the success of our economical and political philosophies? America is struggling economically, and Jesus is now coming back to rescue his 2000 year old church from this difficult tribulation. Doesn't America remember that its only 232 years old? Why does God's blessing equate with monetary blessing? Why do American Christians constantly tie the end of the ...

Pastor Or Theologian?

I received a facebook message from a long-lost college friend and roommate the other day. In his cordial greeting he noted, and correctly, that I had just graduated with a Masters in Theology. I really appreciated the recognition and congratulations, but what bothered me was his next question. He asked if I was "going to be a Pastor or a Theologian?" I laughed, not because I thought the answer to the question was obvious, but because of the fact that he dichotomized the two disciplines as mutually exclusive. My first reaction was to respond with a smart alec remark about his ignorance and misconstrued views of Christianity and its relationship to education, but then I had to stop and remember that he graduated from the same undergraduate institution which I graduated from, and probably, like me, attended a 'fundy' church growing up. Reminding myself of this context cooled me off a bit and I kindly responded that I would hope someday to do both. Nonetheless, what his ...

go with your gut

I was sitting in a coffee shop on Sunday, and a young lady sat next to me on the sofa. The place was packed and that was the only other seat open. She asked if she could sit and I smiled and nodded. I continued my business, trying to give the impression that it was no big deal that this cute girl just sat next to me. It wasn't a big deal, after all it happens every day. Right... Though it appeared to be the case, that was not the case. For about an hour or so I could not focus on what I was doing. I was constantly thinking about what I will say in order to strike up a conversation, find out her "status", and make a decision whether to ask her out or not. So I sat nervously thinking about what to say. It wasn't that hard, because she was feverishly grading what appeared to be homework, as if she was a teacher. So at a natural transition in my business I asked, "Are you a teacher?" That was that. She was kind and responded as if not to be bothered by my questi...
