My Soundtrack

Once upon a time, Satan told me…

It's always here and now my friend, it ain't once upon a time
It's all over but the shouting, I come to take what's mine
We're searchin' for the latest thing, a break in this routine
Talkin' some new kicks, ones like you ain't never seen

This is home, this is Mean Street
(“Mean Streets” – Van Halen)

But I told Satan…

Is that all you got?
I'll take your best shot
Is that all you got?
I'll take your best shot
I'll take your best shot
(“Boom” – P.O.D.)

And he did and I didn’t. Then one day God said to me…

I can be the wall when you fall down
Find me on the rocks when you break down
I heard it in the song when you call out
But I got to say now it's got to change
(“Renaissance” – Mat Kearney)

And He did and I did, too. But it wasn't enough; I looked at my family and told God…

I'll show them I'm willing to fight
And give them the best of my life
So we can call this our home
Lead me, 'cause I can't do this alone
Father, lead me, 'cause I can't do this alone
("Lead Me" - Sanctus Real)


And He is. And I proclaim to Him...

In your word I place my trust
In your word I rest
In your word I place my trust
For I know I must wait
(“I Wait for the Lord” – Jeremy Camp)

  1. I like this, Scott. But I think you need to change your "about me" to "dynamo runner" and 48...

  2. Ha! I like it...but I'll wait until after the 7K race (March 19) which is about a month before I need to change the 48 to 49 :(
