VANITY!

Snippet

Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes 

before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter — to-morrow we will run faster, 

stretch out our arms farther. . . . And one fine morning ——So we beat on, boats 

against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past. Great Gatsby Page

Scripture

I, the Preacher, have been king over Israel in Jerusalem.  And I set my mind to seek and explore by wisdom concerning all that has been done under heaven.  It is a grievous task which God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.  I have seen all the works which have been done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and striving after wind.  What is crooked cannot be straightened and what is lacking cannot be counted. Ecclesiastes 

2:12-15 NASB

Some Kind of Joke by AWOLNATION

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9ndeJm_nvg

This day feels anything but difficult

Woke up choking on a miracle

I don't know why [x3]

I don't know why [x3]

My teacher told me what I'm made for

I beg to differ in the outcome

I don't know why [x3]

I don't know why [x3]

There's nowhere to run

When you're hiding from the truth

It's some kind of joke

When the tears are bleeding through

Looking glass fire

When the pain is caused by you

It's some kind of joke [x2]

oww yeah oww yeah

I'm almost done with all my secrets

I'll take my time to fake a deep breath

I don't know why [x3]

I don't know why [x3]

There's nowhere to run

When you're hiding from the truth

It's some kind of joke

When the tears are bleeding through

Looking glass fire

When the pain is caused by you

It's some kind of joke [x2]

Ah, wait a minute

In a room full of red pretend to be done

We fall on our face pretend to be gone

In a room full of red pretend to be done

We fall on our face pretend to be gone

Nowhere to run [screaming]

when you're hiding from the truth

It's some kind of joke [screaming]

when the tears are bleeding through

Aw look at that fire

Aw when the pain is caused by you

Sometimes we choke

And sometimes we choke

SING

SING

ALRIGHT

SING WITH ME

Sometimes we choke [x2]

[Scream]

Sentence Prayer

Dearest Father in Heaven,

Bless this child and bless this day

Of new beginnings.

Smile upon this child

And surround this child, Lord,

With the soft mantle of your love.

Teach this child to follow in your footsteps,

And to live life in the ways of

Love, faith, hope and charity.

A Gaelic Christening Blessing
