Sinatra's Coffee Gallery

To all my Springfield friends, You must stop in and see the newest hotspot in town: Sinatra's Coffee Gallery. It is located at the corner of National and Chestnut Expressway. Sinatra's is unique in many ways. First it is owned and operated by the only female coffee shop owner in town, Kim Batson. It then brings a new genre to town in it's Sinatra-Era decor and theme. Black and White with the touch of Scarlet Red. This was Oaxacafe's first real consultation project as well. A really cool thing is that from Kim's awesome ideas and inspiration, I was able to design the logo and menu. I'm not particularly a logo-person, but this one turned out awesome and I'm so pleased with it! It's like Sinatra's is our "baby", following it from its conception to labor pains to birth. It's been awesome to see the progress, and tonight was the Pre-Opening. From the sparkling glasses used for every drink to the black leather lounge chairs, everything has fallen into place. This is going to be the coolest place to hangout in Springfield in the coming weeks, and that has nothing to do with my involvement in the project.
This fine establishment will be serving only the finest products. Tell your friends, and stop in for a latte!

...all that matters is

All That Matters
by Addison Road

I may never be the one that gets a second glance
I may never be the one they call the prettiest
But that’s alright with me

And maybe I don’t follow every crazy passion
Spend all my time trying to get a good reaction
But that’s ok with me

This world is like a trampoline
High and low no in between
Jumping at the chance to please
Everyone but that’s not me

Cause all that matters is
All that matters is
I know your love has set me free
And that’s all that matters to me

Some people tell me to step out and do my own thing
And others say I got to blend in just to be the same
And stop being me

But this shallow world is no longer what I’m made of
I’ve been changed by grace
I’ve been saved by love
What more do I need

My life comes from the One
Who made the stars and brought the sun
He loves me more than these
So I don’t need another identity

You're Not Alone

You're Not Alone
by Meredith Andrews

I search for love
When the night came and it closed in
I was alone
but you found me where I was hiding
and though I'll never ever be the same
It was the sweetest voice that called my name
singing

You're not alone
For I am here
let me wipe away every fear
My love I've never left your side
I have seen you through the darkest night
and I'm the one that's loved you all your life
All of your life

You cry yourself to sleep
cause the hurt is real
and the pain cuts deep
All hope seems lost
With heartache your closest friend
and everyone else long gone

You've had to face the music on your own
but there is a sweeter song that calls you home
Sayin'

You're not alone
For I am here
let me wipe away your every tear
My love I've never left your side
I have seen you through the darkest nights
And I'm the one that's loved you all your life
All your life

Faithful and true... Forever
For my love will carry you....

You're not alone
for I... I am here
let me wipe away every fear... Oh yeah
My love I've never left your side
I have seen you through your darkest nights
Your darkest nights
And I'm the one that's loved you all your life
All of your life

You Are Everything

You Are Everything
By Matthew West


I'm the one with two left feet standing on a lonely street
I can't even walk a straight line
And every time you look at me I'm spinning like an autumn leaf
Bound to hit bottom some time

Where would I be without someone to save me
Someone who won't let me fall?

You are everything that I live for
Everything that I can't believe is happening
You're standing right in front of me with arms wide open
All I know is everyday is filled with hope

'Cause You are everything that I breathe for
And I can't help but breathe
You in and breathe again feeling all this life within
Every single beat of my heart

I'm the one with big mistakes, big regrets
And bigger breaks than I'd ever care to confess
Oh, but You're the one who looks at me
And sees what I was meant to be more than just a beautiful mess

Oh where would I be without someone to save me
Someone who won't let me fall?

You are everything that I live for
Everything that I can't believe is happening
You're standing right in front of me with arms wide open
All I know is everyday is filled with hope

'Cause You are everything that I breathe for
And I can't help but breathe
You in and breathe again feeling all this life within
Every single beat of my heart

You're everything good in my life
Everything honest and true
And all of those stars hanging up in the sky
Could never shine brighter than You

You are everything that I live for
Everything that I can't believe is happening
You're standing right in front of me with arms wide open
All I know is everyday is filled with hope

'Cause You are everything that I breathe for
And I can't help but breathe
You in and breathe again feeling all this life within
Every single beat of my heart

You are, oh You are
Jesus, You are
You are everything

i smile when i think about the way you turned my life around

Autism is Curable!

I found this article today through a link in my inbox. Interestingly enough, the DJs on the radio were talking about autism. Something to be aware of, and understand that it can be cured. Or better yet, healed, by the Lord!!!
