\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Just arrived in Memphis to learn my flight (Delta) to Knoxville is delayed by 2 hours, but this time I’m fine.\u00a0 I had such a great trip to Tampa, enjoyed RC’s, Matt’s, David’s, Brad’s, and Adam’s company so much I feel just fine. \u00a0I’m thrilled with the new website\/blog and I’m learning more and more as I post and work on it. \u00a0That’s not the main reason I’m feeling so great. \u00a0I’m going home to \u00a0my bride and that’s fantastic but that’s not it either, no on the plane ride up form Tampa I listened to some music on my iPad and one song really hit me hard, it inspired me. \u00a0I’m going to sahare the lyrics below, but please go find this song on iTunes and be as blessed as I was. \u00a0The song is perfomed by Phil Driscol and Debbie Boone and it’s really a great song, the title is , Keep the Fire Burning<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here are the lyrics:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lord, i find myself needing you like i have never before,\u2028in all of the darkness around me,\u2028everyday my hunger’s growing more.\u2028Iit’s clear to me now, You are my only refuge,\u2028my port in a troubled sea, help me to give my life\u2028completely to You and make me only\u2028what you want me to be,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lord just keep the flame burning in my heart,\u2028light my way with the fire of Your Spirit,\u2028keep the flame burning in my heart and let it\u2028spread to whoever comes near it\u2028Lord, just keep the flame burning in my heart<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Children, He knows what you are going through,\u2028He suffered more than you’ll ever know,\u2028He is drawing us closer and closer to him,\u2028He’ll be back soon, woh, woh, you got to get ready to go<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

well, there is no time for complacency,\u2028there is no room for compromise,\u2028just walk straight and strong cause it won’t be\u2028long till we see Him split the eastern skies<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lord just keep the flame burning in our hearts,\u2028light our way with the fire of Your spirit,\u2028keep the flame burning in our hearts and let it\u2028spread to whoever comes near it\u2028Lord, just keep the flame burning in our hearts<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is a great song, and it begs the question is there anything more important than keeping the flame burning. \u00a0Just as they keep the flame burning for Elvis in Memphis I’m keeping my heart on fire for my Lord.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Have a wonderful day, I think I’ll go get some Memphis Bar-B-Q!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blessings,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
