For 99% of you all reading this, I'm sure the title of this post has you slightly confused. Who the heck is Mr. Dolphin, you ask? My sweet Eric of course! (Rick Nelson that is.) Lately, I have been talking about, posting about, thinking about, and listening to a lot of Rob Thomas and Matchbox Twenty's music. As a result, a few people have made comments like, "So are you just over Ricky now?" I just want to clear something up right now - I will NEVER be over Ricky. Loving him is written on my soul. I have two quotes that are perfect for how I feel about Rick: I have blisters on my feet from dancing alone with your ghost. -Tyler Knott Gregson Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same. -Emily Bronte I don't think I could make myself stop loving Rick if I wanted to. Not that I ever would want to. He's " My One and Only Love ." Rick has been a light for me when there was no light around. In fact, he is my Mr. Dolphin . This is a son

Here I am to elaborate on those "Bright Lights" that I mentioned in my last post ! For this post, I'm going to do something I haven't done here, but enjoy doing on my own time. I'm going to post the full lyrics with my thoughts in between. They'll be in italics. If you couldn't distinguish my blabbering from the eloquence of Matchbox Twenty. (By the way, I don't own these lyrics. Are you kidding? I'm not half brilliant enough to come up with them!) Heck, go ahead and take a listen to " Bright Lights " again if you want! (Verse 1) She got out of town on the railway, New York bound Took all except my name I think sometimes we want God to help us and bring us blessings without actually making a commitment to him - we try to take all except his name. Another alien on Broadway Without Christ, we are nothing. We couldn't even exist without God quite frankly. We need God. As terrible as this may sound to some of you, I find a g

This is a post that is very near and dear to me. Bible study has been quite a roller coaster for me. For years, I have been an "Israel" (which means 'one who wrestles with God'). I haven't always been consistent in my quiet times. I've had my reasons, but none proved themselves to be worthy excuses. The two biggest things that kept me from being consistent were the fact that I wasn't saved and a little phase of doubting I had that was jump started by the band incident . For starters, it is really hard to have a regular study time when you don't even have a relationship with God. I can't blame myself for not doing that, but I won't leave out the fact that I was raised in church. I don't have a reason for taking so long to come to Christ. I do know that everything happens in God's timing. I have a great testimony as a result of my stalling, even though it breaks my heart when I think of how many times I ignored God all those years. (I'
