Hard Life - Brad Paisley with Joe Kindregan


A very special friendship led Brad Paisley to record his song, ‘Hard Life.’ The tune was written by Joe Kindregan, a 23-year-old Virginia native who had A-T (ataxia-telangiectasia), a fatal disease that combines symptoms of cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, immune deficiencies and cancer. Joe met Brad back in 2005 at a fundraiser for Team 25, which helps kids facing tremendous health challenges like his. The two sang on stage together at the event and had kept in touch through the years.
“I’ve known Joe for several years and he is one of my favorite people,” says Brad. “His disease is physically debilitating, but obviously creatively and mentally Joe has such tremendous depth. It’s an honor for me to be the person to give voice to his creativity and cause.”
Brad gave all of his artist royalties from U.S. digital single sales of ‘Hard Life’ in the next year to the A-T Children’s Project. A great song for a great cause.
The ‘Hard Life’ lyrics are inspired by not only Joe’s battle with A-T, but also by others with the disease who had shared their stories with him. When the songwriter shared his lyrics with his country superstar friend, they both realized they had something very special. Joe was in Brad’s Nashville studio to watch the recording and producing process, seeing his song come to life. Joe was ‪#‎LivingWithAT‬.

Joe is now ‪#‎ATfree‬. 1988-2015

Scarves

I love knitting!

Knitting scarves is the most easiest thing.

They boys enjoy seeing me knit or crochet.

They understand it relaxes me.

All 3 of them asked in the last couple of days

if I could knit them a scarf.

So .........





Justin is first.

Green is his favourite colour.

Still the Tooth

So after having the tooth extracted I was still in pain up until this morning. 

I went back to the dentist and apparently I have a dry socket where the tooth was removed.

"Dry socket is also known as alveolar osteitis and happens where a blood clot fails to develop in the tooth socket as a normal part of healing, or if the blood clot is dislodged. Dry socket can cause an aching, throbbing pain in the gum or jaw. There may also be a bad smell or taste coming from the tooth socket".

It has now been dressed (tastes horrible) and I no longer have any pain at all.

Faith

Belief

If You Let It!!!!


Please don't let fear ruin your peace, happiness and general well-being

Fear is having a field day with what is happening in the world

It is destroying peace of mind

It is causing people to turn against other people


2 Timothy 1:7 - For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.


1 John 4:18 - There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love
