James 4

13 Go to now, ye that say, Today or to ^amorrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:

14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a ^avapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

Two lessons I learned and am trying to apply in my life from these verses:

Life is short, make the most of every day
Let the lord show you how to do that right, so your not fumbling along your own path

A Dream Within A Dream by Edgar Allan Poe

Take this kiss upon the brow!

And, in parting from you now,

Thus much let me avow--

You are not wrong, who deem

That my days have been a dream;

Yet if hope has flown away

In a night, or in a day,

In a vision, or in none,

Is it therefore the less gone?

All that we see or seem

Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar

Of a surf-tormented shore,

And I hold within my hand

Grains of the golden sand--

How few! yet how they creep

Through my fingers to the deep,

While I weep--while I weep!

O God! can I not grasp

Them with a tighter clasp?

O God! can I not save

One from the pitiless wave?

Is all that we see or seem

But a dream within a dream?

"Tighten Up" by the Black Keys

The end gets a little over the top, but I love the start of this video and it's just rockin sounding song.

This makes we want to get my travel on soooo bad. In the words of Bob from What about Bob?, "I want, I want, I want. . . I need, I need, I need. . . Gimmy, gimmy. . ."
