Every teardrop is a waterfall.

We laugh. We cry. We breathe.
In the midst of our tears and pain. 
Through the rubble, we live.


(the song is #77 in my playlist, if you wish to hear it.)


I turn the music up, I got my records on
I shut the world outside until the lights come on
Maybe the streets alight, maybe the trees are gone
But I feel my heart start beating to my favorite song

And all the kids they dance, all the kids all night
Until Monday morning feels another life
I turn the music up, I'm on a roll this time
And heaven is in sight, Ooh

I turn the music up, I got my records on
From underneath a rubble sing a rebel song
Don't want to see another generation drop
I'd rather be a comma than a full stop
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/coldplay/every_teardrop_is_a_waterfall.html ]
Maybe I'm in the black, maybe I'm on my knees
Maybe I'm in the gap between the two trapezes
But my heart is beating and my pulses start
Cathedrals in my heart

As we saw, oh, this light
I swear you emerge blinking into
To tell me it's alright

As we soar walls
Every siren is a symphony
And every tear's a waterfall

Is a waterfall, ah
Is a waterfall, ah
Is always a waterfall
Every tear is always a waterfall, ah

So you can hurt, hurt me bad
But still I'll raise the flag, Ooh

Every tear
Every tear
Every teardrop is a waterfall

Lil' Blueberry :P by Gnuffy on Polyvore.com

The song played at our wedding.
I like not playing this song as much so that when I do play it, it awakes my amazing memories of 2008.
Pandora randomly played the song just now and it was a pleasant surprise :)
I love you, Pandora. Scientists. Coldplay. Love. Cody.

Cornerstone University.

I am thankful for Cornerstone University because:

1. Not every answer has to be God, Jesus, or the Bible.
2. Students can come into contact with people of the opposite gender; we have the God-given ability to choose not to sin, rather than being forced not to sin.
3. I am taking a Shakespeare class. And we haven't once opened up the Bible. God can be glorified through study without relating everything directly to Him.
4. I can blast Coldplay on campus.
5. Heck, I think Coldplay's music has played over the speakers before Chapel. Wouldn't surprise me.
6. We have Scott Carroll.
7. Professor Stevens says "Smokin' cats!" instead of cussing and talks about his trailer park days in class.
8. Professors and students are okay with religious diversity and tension.
9. We have intellectual discussion, sometimes without a definitive conclusion. And it's okay. I am not paying $9,000 a semester to hear a sermon.
10. My professors teach me how to think, not what to think.
