*** DO NOT TRY THIS YOURSELF ***
The 90’s for me…
were just… were just… hmm…
still lookin’ for the word(s)…
For now…
fire and ice.
The middle of the decade—
Burned hottest…
Froze bone…
I was dealin’ with heartbreak…
tryin’ to fix it with drugs… alcohol…
music.
I was strugglin’
So this memory came back to me today…
I just sat there like—
geeees man… what was I thinkin’?
Apparently… I wasn’t.
Back then… I had a few handguns…
used to go to the firin’ range pretty often…
had a couple of 9mm’s…
and this one…
a small .22 revolver—
pearl handle…
looked almost harmless in the hand.
But I noticed somethin’ about it…
You could load just one round…
and if you looked closely—
you could barely see it sittin’ there in the chamber.
So… as you pulled the trigger…
if you paid attention…
you could track it… tell when it was one pull away.
And yeah…
I’d mess with my buddies sometimes…
I would play Russian Roulette with it.
Even though I knew I was “safe”…
keepin’ an eye on the bullet…
it was still—
an unreal feelin’.
hard to explain it.
I never let anyone else handle the gun loaded…
and I absolutely would not let anyone else participate…
and I never shared my secret.
I can’t believe I did it.
My friends thought I was somethin’ else…
and yeah…
I built quite a reputation off that.
But lookin’ back now…
ugg…
what a thing to do.
…
So grateful God never let go…
…

New South 🎵 I’m Tired
Hey y’all…
I’m so ready for the weekend…
Just wanna relax…
chill…
listen to music…
play a little guitar…
Keep it simple—
more feeling…
less words…
Here’s two Hank songs for you 👇
🎵 “New South” — 1977, from The New South
🎵 “I’m Tired” — Out of Left Field 1993
These are a little deeper cuts…
definite Hidden Gems 💎
“I’m Tired” cracks me up 😄
Funny song (at least to me)…
little bit of language—
he keeps saying “son of a beach” in the chorus…
just a heads up lol…
Anyway…
hope y’all enjoy…
and have a great weekend ✌️🎶

He’s dealing with a rare form of cancer…
and he calls me most every day…
So last time we were talking… music… bands…
he asks me—
“you know that band DIESEL?”
I said… nah… not ringing a bell…
He goes—
“yeah… DIESEL… they sing that song Hemorrhage…”
I said—
“Oooo… you mean FUEL bro…”
He pauses…
“…yeah… FUEL!” 😂
He said they’re awesome…
I told him—

What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?
— the first hour, and then some
So… once my dreams let go
and morning rolls around…
I open my eyes—
and I’m instantly happy.
I’m glad a new day has begun for me.
I thank God…
tell Him I love Him…
just chill for a moment—
embracing His love for me.
Then I usually lay there for maybe ten minutes…
eyes open… just thinking.
Then I reach over—grab my phone…
reply to my girlfriend’s texts…
They’re always there waiting on me.
She’ll send a photo she took…
or a piece of her art…
a scripture she picked out just for me…
along with her words…
So Supergood to wake up to this…
After hygiene stuff—
I head to the kitchen… get my coffee…
make my way to the couch…
Start my morning devotions…
Two different ones I read…
“Streams in the Desert” — by Lettie Cowman
“My Utmost for His Highest” — by Oswald Chambers
Both from the 1920s…
both deep…
in different ways.
One poetic…
one piercing.
I read…
sit with it.
Think about it.
Then I pray…
I talk to God for a while—
real talk.
Then…
I shut my mouth.
I listen.
To what He has to say…
After that—
headphones on…
I open up YouTube Music
Choose something… then just let it go…
A mix of Christian and secular
Then comes one of my favorite parts—
I grab my guitar.
I try and learn one new song a week, sometimes more
Right now I’ve been learning…
“Infra-Red” — by Three Days Grace
Next up… “Fine Again” — by Seether
Most times…
I don’t use tabs…
don’t look up chords…
I just listen…
play what I hear.
Learning the lyrics are the main thing…
the guitar part I make my own…
in my own style…
usually…
I’ll jam for a while…
have some fun with it…
then it’s back for more coffee ☕️
Headphones back on…
Then I check in—
My ministry platforms…
my YouTube…
my blog…
I respond to people…
read what others are sharing…
I’m not a big commenter—
but I show up lol
Then later I think on…
pray on…
whatever I want to write or post…
or if it’s time for one of my weekly series posts—
I’ll do that…
post on my other Christian platforms…
make a YouTube short sometimes.
Then I hit my workout.
Every day—
except Wednesday and Sunday.
After that—
protein shake…
something to eat…
And yeah…
That’s been my mornings lately.
I’ve been on leave from work for about a month now…
So right now—
My job?
Is just having awesome days 😎
Also… at night… I read the Bible and whatever other book I’m reading… right now it’s Hemingway’s memoir “A Moveable Feast”
After I read… I listen to more music… then I spend a good amount of time praying for others… then I sleep…

Isaiah 40… the war is over
…
My friend Lish… from one of my Christian social media platforms… wrote this song…
I think it’s beautiful…
give it a listen…
check out her YouTube channel…
SUBSCRIBE if you like and help support her…
she’s just getting started…
these are her words below 👇
…
Lish Victory
If you like discovering new Christian music, I wrote this song called Menuchah.
Menuchah is the Hebrew word for rest… tranquility… a resting place.
In Isaiah 40, God declares that the war is over.
He also shows the fragility of us… even the strongest struggle in this fallen world.
But because of Him… we can rest.
We can be strengthened.
I hope you like it…
the writing process was a breeze…
as if the Holy Spirit took the pen.

Fully Alive 🎶 All Around Me
Happy blessed Sunday yall…
I’m sticking with Flyleaf a little longer.
These next two — “Fully Alive” 🎶 “All Around Me” 🎶 — (acoustic versions)
are both from their debut self-titled album
Flyleaf (2005)…
and man… that record was something special.
Made fans out of a whole lot of people… me included.
Somewhere along the way I drifted from Lacey Sturm for a bit…
but about a year ago, I found my way back —
right around the time I started my YouTube channel “bryanforchrist.”
All I do over there is make Christian music shorts —
so if you’re ever bored one day… come check me out.
I’ve got a few Flyleaf ones up there too 🎶
And quick tip — on all my shorts, you can get to the full song:
tap the little thumbnail in the bottom right…
then when it redirects, go up top left and tap the larger thumbnail —
that’ll play the whole track.
It can look a little tricky at first… but once you see it, you got it.
Now as much as I love Flyleaf…
I’ve never actually performed any of their songs myself 🎤
That’s about to change.
I think this week… I’m gonna learn “Circle” 🎶
(from their second album Memento Mori — 2009)…
it’s probably my favorite from them… hard to choose though
So again… thank y’all for listening… for reading…
I appreciate you — and I’m always thinking of you 🙏
Have a blessed day…

Gonna Go Huntin’ Tonight 🎶 Here I Am Fallin’ Again
Hey yall… got two more good ones for you…
The first one’s fast… the second one slow…
As I was selecting the songs for this one… I was reminded of my first Hank concert…
I think I was 14… it was me… my best friend Joey… my good buddy Chris… and two neighbor girls… April and Ashley…
Ashley’s mother was a police officer… and she and the chief of police for our town took us all to the concert that night…
It was a crazy and fun night… I won’t go into details… other than just to say… everyone had a lil too much to drink… including Hank…
And I ended up spending the night at Ashley’s house… Got the T-shirt!
My mother was not happy the next day… cuz she was worried about me…
…but you know how us Gen X kids used to roll 😎…
So let’s get to the music…
🎵 Gonna Go Huntin’ Tonight
— Strong Stuff — 1983
🎵 Here I Am Fallin’ Again
— Habits Old and New — 1980
Oh! I also included a pic of the mountain Hank fell off… with a lil diagram… showing the path of his fall… just a miracle that he survived (it was 1975… Ajax Mountain near Wisdom, Montana)
Hope yall enjoy
