The Music

I just thought I'd write a quick note about the seemingly random music I have chosen for the blog. Every song has a story behind it. For example; 'Earth Angel' and 'Unchained Melody' were my grandparent's songs. 'Can't Help Falling in Love' is Tyler and I's (although not the same version, ours is the Jon Schmidt version but I couldn't find it.) Obviously 'Mandy' is the song my parents named me after. I love music, all kinds, and I love how many memories can be attached to a song. Hopefully you enjoy!

I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk's lawn.I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children.I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.
