Setting Up the Pins

Recently had the privilege of seeing musician and song writer Sara Groves in concert.  I fell in love with her music and just her personality in general.  This song especially captured my heart since in speaks to our life and really the whole idea behind this blog.  The song is by itself is great, but the music video is just so darn cute, I had to include it.




man in a silk tie heads downtown
setting up the pins for knocking em down
people in cars all rushing around
setting up the pins
let's get rich find a way around
setting up the pins for knocking em down
we'll get gadget with a whirring sound
for setting up the pins
everyone everywhere some way some how
are setting up the pins for knocking em down
you can find joy in the fertile ground
setting up the pins and knocking em down
you can try to fight it till you're anger drowned
setting up the pins
everyone everywhere some way some how
are setting up the pins for knocking em down
it can feel simple but it's really profound
setting up the pins
rent a tent, build a stage, throw a party, get a gown
buy a ticket, rent a car, pack a bag and leave town,
cook a dinner, clean the kitchen hit the light
brush your teeth, read a book, say a prayer good-night
everyone everywhere some way some how
are setting up the pins for knocking em down
it can feel simple but it's really profound...
my grandmother had a working song
hummed it low all day long
sing for the beauty that's to be found
in setting up the pins for knocking em down

Hope you all are enjoying this beautiful Labor Day.  We haven't done a whole bunch, just mainly setting up the pins for knocking them back down tomorrow :) Have a great week!
