Taken from the Disney Wiki - Pastoral Symphony by Beethoven
Hello,
You know, life is like a book, you are the author, and what you do is the written part. I'm on Chapter 27 of my book and next year, I will have ended that chapter and began a new one.
All the events that happen in your chapter is written in your life's book. Some of the big events that transpired in 2014 were this:
1. Celebrated the New Year with my now fiance
2. Got a new car
3. Ended my 8 year tenure at my old job and got a new one
4. Started briefing people
5. Losing a new friend in Nansy
6. Taking my first major trip since 2012
Who knows what will happen in the last days of 2014. 2014 was the continuation of my miraculous renaissance starting in August of 2013 and it still continues to this day. I'm working harder than ever, saving more money, I'm doing all the things I couldn't before. It just feels like my life has definitely turned around for the better!
Next year, with me getting married, more challenges I know are coming. The challenges of being a great husband, a father in years to come (maybe '16 or '17), working harder to get to where I want to in life, and just trying to be a success.
Happiness awaits to anyone who seeks it and it's shown in so many ways.
With November and December arriving, we prepare for the holidays that await us. Thanksgiving... Christmas... The excitement and expectant waiting in advent. The works.
4 Sundays remain in Pentecost... the offseason is coming to a close... everyone starts to return to church and the wondrous season of Advent begins November 30
People should be joyous at the closing of Pentecost as it is the longest season of the liturgical year. Catholics call it Ordinary Time, Lutherans just call it Pentecost, Methodists go with Kingdomtide.
November is also the start of a new routine. I, the one who is the NON-catholic marrying the catholic, I have decided to go to Saturday Late Afternoon mass at 5:00 pm and she'll come to my church service on Sundays to hear me sing.
That routine will begin soon.

Speaking of Advent, It's just hard to believe that Advent is slowly but SURELY well on it's way.
I certainly love the season of Advent, filled with joy, happiness, beautiful colors... everything that's enjoyable.
Pastor Mark usually puts on a joyous sermon filled with laughter and joy. I'm already ready for when Advent comes around.

November Rain - Guns 'n Roses
I'l even openly admit that "Where does my heart beat now" by Celine Dion is a favorite of mine too. Reason, I sang it to Joanna on our first trip to Atlantic City together and she was REALLY shocked that I even knew the words!!!
See, I'm a Country Rock Classic New Age kind of guy
When it comes to country music and I, I figure it as a story of loves, patriotism, everything. Country music has the most god-bearing soul in music.
Classical music basically puts you in a relaxing mood. You picture yourself walking through a moonlit forest at night, looking at water falls, fields of green... If you don't think classic music is fun, you're wrong. Pope Benedict XVI said it best when classical music "penetrates the soul."
Enya's probably the most ultimate New Age artist there is. Using 80 tracks of her own voice to record her music. That's absolutely amazing to me in more ways than you can believe.
I'll defend my former co-worker Jeff and say Kiss is probably the greatest rock 'n roll band assembled.
November Rain is probably rock's GREATEST masterpiece ever written. Slash's guitar solo is probably the greatest solo ever done. You can't go wrong with what he did in that solo. A pretty amazing one at that.
Well, that will wrap it up for Post 94...
