Hearts Burning, Eyes Opened - Sermon for Thanksgiving Eve 2025-11-26

sample from teen sucide
made in 15 minutes cuz i was bored
---


peeling skin off my arm until i bleed
nobody ever wants to listen to me
i cry so much, i cant even see
i was not meant to live, never meant to be
nobody wants to be friends with me
cant look at my face im such a freak
my teeth are rotting, burnin through my cheeks
cant wake up in the morning, im just too weak
i know my life wasn't meant to be
so i hung myself on the side of the creek



i killed myself on the side of the creek

German-born spiritual teacher and self-help author Eckhart Tolle once wrote, "Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance." &nbsp;I found this to be true in my life as well, and as it turns out, expressing gratitude isn't just a sound spiritual practice. It's essential to our emotional and physical well-being. &nbsp;According to a recent study performed at Harvard Medical School, "Gratitude is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness. Gratitude helps people feel more positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve their health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships."&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;How can you reap the benefits? While there are many beneficial exercises that can help you cultivate an attitude of gratitude, such as journaling, morning or evening reflections, and performing acts of kindness, many people focus their thoughts outward (Ex: I’m grateful for my children, a roof over my head, my job, etc.).It’s easy to lose sight of the good in ourselves. Instead, let’s focus inward. Tune in as Anthony and I share what we’re grateful for about each Enneagram type and why you should be too.

ETERNALLY

“White Lines” is a late-night drive you take to outrun the version of yourself you don’t want to be anymore. Long highways, empty gas stations, and too much time with your thoughts. Minimal beats, atmospheric guitars, and a hook that feels like mile markers flashing by in the dark.

White Lines

Love and romance rekindled on the road.
Love is a trip-- a road trip with you, 
Seeing our dreams coming, coming true, 
Wind through the windows,
Blows the music away,    (riff)
Look up, look up-- places to stay…

Mountains are blue,    just like the sky, 
But we won’t be blue,     not you and I, 
The leaves on the trees     are something to see,  
Some blow past you, some blow by me,

First thing this morning,      we got caffeinated, 
We made oatmeal       but only half ate it,
We laughed and laughed and laughed, elated.
This song is dedicated,    
To you.

    I love that look on your face.  
     Let’s find a new place.
So, take a right, - no, a left, - no, a right at the light,
Give me a heads up, 
Turn it up-- turn it down-- turn it up all the way,
Turn around….         nothing to say.   (solo)

Mountains slide by--       behind old graying barns, 
Fences surround--       old lonely farms,
With love on our faces--   we search out new places,
To hold each other,      in each other’s arms. 

Love is a trip-- a road trip with you, 
Seeing our dreams coming, coming true, 
Wind through the windows,
Blows the music away, 
Look up, look up-- places to stay…On just such a wonderful day. 
We hold each other, hold each other, in each other’s arms.

Road Trip Love

ur little lies that you consume

i ripped out all my guts

but u kept on begging for more


Perc$ice

you grabbed my hand
and gave me a kiss
you felt so pure, you felt so genuine

i didnt want

im caught between the memories and the mist,

you lovebombed me
and i could see right thru 
ur little lies that you consume

This week on&nbsp;Typology, we welcomed the incomparable Lynn Smith—former national news anchor turned communications strategist, executive coach, and proud (and newly discovered) Enneagram Three with a Two wing. And friends… buckle up. This conversation is a masterclass in emotional intelligence, presence, and what it means to pursue success without losing yourself in the chase. Fresh off taking the Typology Assessment, Lynn joined us in that familiar Three-ish blend of humor, candor, and high-octane energy, joking that the results made her want to immediately call her therapist. What unfolded from there was a remarkably vulnerable exploration of people-pleasing, approval-seeking, identity, and the hidden costs of a lifetime spent earning applause. Lynn pulled back the curtain on her years in broadcast news—an industry where worth is measured in seconds, headlines, and flawless delivery—and revealed the deeper story beneath her polished exterior: a lifelong drive to achieve, a tenderness inherited from her family’s immigrant narrative, and a powerful desire to help others communicate with confidence and authenticity. But the real gem of this episode is Lynn’s groundbreaking work on what she calls “the brain bully.”  That inner critic. That saboteur whispering that you’re one misstep away from failure. That internal voice Threes know far too well. Lynn not only names it—she teaches you how to outsmart it. Her framework for dismantling fear and building resilient confidence is practical, empowering, and deeply human. And when she reveals her own brain bully’s name—“Bob”—you can’t help but laugh and exhale. Sometimes the most powerful breakthroughs come with a wink. We also wandered into a juicy conversation about magnetism versus authenticity, why your energy enters a room a full tenth of a second before you do, and how the Enneagram can radically improve communication across teams, industries, and families.&nbsp;&nbsp; Connect with Lynn Smith at&nbsp; or on socials at @lynnsmithtv &nbsp; CONNECT WITH IAN Learn more about the Enneagram at  or follow Ian at @ianmorgancron and @typologypodcast on Instagram and Facebook P.S.

World turned its back on me just like an orphan
I'm on the internet sellin' my organs
Said you would change, but my soul has been scorchin'
I guess that to you that your friends more important
Pretend I've forgotten his name
Down DXM but my thoughts stay the same
I feel like you poison my brain

I've been thinking that you are my consequence
You expect me to drown you in compliments
But those randoms were boosting your confidence
Satan tells me that you are my opposite
I would give him my soul if he offered it
I would give him my soul just to get you back
And you're in my bed but I'm not attached
Smokin' outside 'til my lungs black

you r my consequences... yeaaaa (wifiskeleton cover)

Uplifting and bright, light pop with piano melody. Upbeat and positive, great for advertising, positive and inspirational media. (Stem files available.)

how the fuck do i get up after all the things they said?
its worthless, id rather rot and drop fucking dead

"Dust on My Soul" was born from an inner journey — a necessary escape after losing something I thought I’d never walk away from. Riding through my own deserts, past empty saloons, silent nights, and endless roads, I realized that every mile I put behind me also brought me closer to myself.
This song is about carrying the weight of dust on my soul, the fire in my chest, and still choosing to move forward. It’s about freedom, letting go, longing, and courage.
If you’ve ever had to leave something behind just to find yourself again, this track is for you.

If you want, I can also make shorter, more poetic, more cinematic, or more commercial versions — just tell me the vibe you prefer!

In this episode I played very hybrid music by Arodes , Monocule, Tiesto and many others

CYBER CHORD writes songs the way a porch light holds a night: small, steady, and impossible to ignore. I work with AI as a true co-writer, then carve the lyric by hand and shape the track in Suno. The sound leans bare and human—country roots in the soil, a little rock grain in the teeth, and a faith-lit lift that chooses hope without preaching.

These are ordinary-room hymns: rings hidden in cotton, receipt-tape strings, a dress behind rain glass, a sink that cools while you find the words. Silence is an instrument here; sometimes there’s a full bar where the house gets to breathe. If a line can’t survive a campfire and a cracked mug, it doesn’t make the song.

If you’re new, start with the heartbreakers. They don’t shout. They stay. I believe in the holiness of the everyday, and in the quiet bravery of saying the thing before “later” takes it away.

No paid promo, no playlist buys, no cover-art pitches, no dance offers, no cold DMs. If it’s a pitch, the porch light’s off. If you’re a real listener, come in soft: pick one song, leave a genuine note (lyric or timestamp welcome), and hand it to one friend. That’s how this fire stays lit.

May your road stay open, your coffee stay warm, and your day be peaceful.

If you’re ready to run free, feel the adrenaline, and lose yourself in the music, welcome to my world. This is Outlaw House, and this is how I ride.

フィンランドのラハティから実験的な電子とインストゥルメンタル音楽です。聞いてください!

Entinen räppibiittisetä (H.N.S) Lahesta, joka nykyisin väsäilee kokeellista musiikkia tai ainakin vähintään musiikin kaltaisia koeputkituotoksia, enemmän tai vähemmän Japanin innoittamalla saundilla. Myös mies YouTuben alkuaikoina suosioon nousseen "Ajattelenkin tässä nyt Oonaa" -biisin takana. En käytä tekoälyä musiikin tekemisessä.

元ビートメーカー（H.N.S）。フィンランドのラハティ出身で、実験音楽、あるいはいわゆるテストチューブ・トラックを、多かれ少なかれ日本的なサウンドで表現しています。また、YouTube黎明期にフィンランドで人気を博した「Ajattelenkin tässä nyt Oonaa」の作者でもあります。人間が作った音楽、AIは使用していません。

Former beatmaker (H.N.S). Experimental music or at least so called test tube tracks with a more or less Japanese inspired sound, from Lahti, Finland. Also a man behind the song "Ajattelenkin tässä nyt Oonaa", which became popular in Finland in the early days of YouTube. Human made music, no AI used.
