All Will Be Well

All Will Be Well
(written by: The Gabe Dixon Band)

The new day dawns
And I am practicing my purpose once again
It is fresh and it is fruitful if I win
but if I lose, ooh, I don't know
I'll be tired but I will turn and I will go
Only guessing 'til I get there then I'll know
Ohh, I will know

And all the children walking home past the factories
Can see the light that's shining in my window
As I write this song to you
And all the cars running fast along the interstate
Can feel the love that radiates
Illuminating what I know is true

And all will be well
Even after all the promises you've broken to yourself
All will be well
You can ask me how but only time will tell

The winter's cold
But the snow still lightly settles on the trees
And a mess is still a moment I can seize until I know
That all will be well
Even though sometimes this is hard to tell
And the fight is just as frustrating as hell
All will be well

And all the children walking home past the factories
Can see the light that's shining in my window
As I write this song to you
And all the cars running fast along the interstate
Can feel the love that radiates
Illuminating what I know is true

And all will be well
Even after all the promises you've broken to yourself
All will be well
You can ask me how but only time will tell

You got to keep it up
And don't give up
And chase your dreams
And you will find
All in time

And all the children walking home past the factories
Can see the light that's shining in my window
As I write this song to you
And all the cars running fast along the interstate
Can feel the love that radiates
Illuminating what I know is true

And all will be well
Even after all the promises you've broken to yourself
All will be well
You can ask me how but only time will tell

All will be well
Even after all the promises you've broken to yourself
All will be well
You can ask me how but only time will tell
You can ask me how but only time will tell

Drum Lessons

Why hello there. So in the past few days I've had 2 girls ask me to teach them to play drums, Ashley and Kady. I gave Ashley her first lesson on Friday and it went pretty well. I got her to play basic rock and some jazz. I also tried to get her to think about some ideas behind playing drums like, knowing when to not play which I think is one of the hardest lessons for dummers to learn. I think she's coming along pretty well and next time ill try to have her play along with some cds or something. You know, get her use to playing with a band behind her. She said she had a blast playing and she was singing the beat she learned for like 30min after we stopped.

The other girl who has asked me to teach her a bit is Kady. I can't remember exactly when I met her but I can only guess it was months ago and it was through Liesl. Like me, she is taking French and attends The Village Church. She doesn't hang out in Kharma as much as she use to but I still end up seeing her once or twice a week or so. Shes 20 and has a few years left here at school. Anyway, I ran into her at Kharma tonight and she said she has always wanted to learn to play drums and thought, "hmm who do I know who plays...Patrick plays, maybe he'll teach me." Yes, yes I will. Unlike Ashley, I dont think shes had any experience in music before so I'm not quite sure how to approach her abilities. Ashley played percussion all through high school so I kinda got a jist for where she was at, but with Kady I suppose I'll just sit her down and ask her to play a beat and see what happens. Who knows, maybe she'll be really good and just blow me away.

I joked with Travis earlier that I should start charging for lessons if word gets out I'm teaching people how to play. Man that would be cool. Getting paid for teaching people how to play drums...awesome.

A Change

So I'm back in Denton. Yes I made it home in one piece. I feel refreshed and ready to take on the troubles of every day life. I'm attending church tomorrow for the first time in what has to be a little over a year, excluding holidays when my mom made me. With the exception of Liesl, I don't really know anyone else I'm going with so maybe I can make some new friends while I'm at it. I had to go diging for my bible this afternoon so I could actualy bring it. We are going to The Village Church which is were me and Angelica use to go all the time. We use to go in the evening so I'm not to concerned about running into her. But if I do, I think I can deal with it now. It all seems so trivial now after last week. I thought about a lot of things over last week and have decided that some things need to change in my life. My run-ins with her are one of those things. No longer can I let her effect me. I don't effect her any so why shouldn't I do the same? Well, here we go, nothing to lose, everything to gain.
