Music Monday: Breaking You

While I was on my blogging sabbatical I got to see Audrey Assad live in concert in LA. She was, unsurprisingly, rather wonderful…

You’ve been let down, it’s true
Your pain is so easy to see
You’re haunted by your history
And it feels like you’ve got no escape

Your life left you high and dry
You used to be sure of yourself
But then your whole world went to hell
And tomorrow looks just like today

So, you lie on your bed, you won’t let the morning come in
And you hide in your room, feeding that fear and it’s killing you
Don’t you know
That it’s killing me too, cause your heart break is breaking you

I miss the life in your eyes
The home that I found in your arms
And now you don’t know who you are
But I won’t give up on you, no

You lie on your bed, you won’t let the morning come in
And you hide in your room, feeding that fear and it’s killing you
Don’t you know
That it’s killing me too, cause your heart break is breaking you

And you lost your fire
And your flame’s gone out
And your down on your knees
Cause your life is not what you thought it would be, no

Lift up your head
Help is on the way
And it won’t pass you by
You just gotta reach out your hand

Lift up your eyes
Love is on the way
And it won’t pass you by
You just gotta reach out your hand

Go on and lift up your head
Because love is on His way
And He won’t pass you by
You’ve just gotta reach out your hand

December Blog Love

While I was on my blogging sabbatical in December, I had a couple of blogs reference my website. The first was Veil Nation:

When I produced the graphics for “Wear The Veil” campaign, I just searched Google Images for a base graphic with which to begin my work. Well, it turns out the graphic I used was of a veil called the Colette Veil, produced by Ann Anzul. Ann found my graphic and gave me a shout-out. Thanks Ann! 🙂

The second reference to my my blog in December came from Jim who writes at Not For Itching Ears:

Screen Shot 2015-01-08 at 3.04.12 PMJim’s post wrote about how to become a better blogger. In the section where he spoke about reading and commenting on other blogs, he had these kind words to say about this site:

One of my favorite blogs is called Restless Pilgrim.   It challenges my world view!  He’s Catholic,  I’m a Protestant who has wandered far, far, far from home!  We have great conversations about theology and early church history, which is the kind of stuff I like and write about.  He does too. David comments on my blog and I on his.  I am not sure who interacted with who first, but whoever did, made blogging a lot more interesting.  I have lots of stories like that and you will too if you “do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

Always a pleasure Jim 🙂

Help me choose a new header image!

So, as you may have noticed, this blog has been having something of a face-lift recently. I’ve nearly done everything that I want to do, but one thing remains – choosing a header image. Until I’ve made a decision, one of the following images will be used at random. Which are these is your favourite?

Option #1: Desert road with tree

Option #2: Country road with darkness to light

Country-Road-Sunset copy

Option #3: Country road at sunset

Option #4: Man walking down road

Please leave a comment below. If you have a better idea of what kind of header image there should be, please let me know!

Fifty Shades Of Broken

There’s a lot of interesting posts coming out at the beginning of this year… 🙂

Back in September, I posted the Theology On Tap talk by Katie Patrizio on Sacred Scripture. Katie recently posted an article over at Impacting Culture and I wanted to share it here.

In her post, she talks about Unbroken, a movie which was released this Christmas about an olympic runner who ends up being incarcerated in a Japanese prisoner of war camp during World War Two. She then compares this story with the upcoming Fifty Shades of Grey movie which is based on the infamous book series about sadomasochism. These movies have more in common than you might think…
