Recently a past principal of my school lost his battle with cancer. As I thought about it, this song instantly filled my mind. So here's Dancing with the Angels; in memory of Les Duncan.
Dancing with the Angels
Monk and Neagle
Memories surround me
But sadness has found me
I’d do anything for more time
Never before has someone meant more
And I can’t get you out of my mind
There is so much that I don’t understand
But I know…
Chorus
You’re dancing with the angels
Walking in new life
You’re dancing with the angels
Heaven fills your eyes
Now that you’re dancing with the angels
You had love for your family
Love for all people
Love for the Father, and Son
Your heart will be heard In your unspoken words
Through generations to come
There is so much that I don’t understand
But I know
Chorus
Bridge
We’re only here for such a short time
So I’m gonna’ stand up, shout out,And sing Hallelujah
One day I’ll see you again
Chorus
(Here's a link to a youtube video with this song. The video is very touching. http://youtube.com/watch?v=22x2mR1WU1w )

21st Time
Okay...so I just recently heard this song on the radio and immediately fell in love with it! It has such a strong message.
Twenty-First Time
By Monk and Neagle
Nowhere to live
Nowhere to fall
He used to have money
But he’s wasted it all
His face is a photograph burned in mind
But I pretend not to see him for the twenty-first time
He sleeps under stars, it’s all he can afford
His blanket’s an old coat he’s had since the war
He stands on the corner of Carter and Vine
But I pretend not to see him for the twenty-first time
He may be a drifter who’s grown old and gray
But what if it’s Jesus and I walk away
I say I’m the body and drink of the wine
But I pretend not to see him for the twenty-first time
She’s 29 but she feels 48
She can’t raise three kids on minimum wage
She’s crying in back of the welfare line
But I pretend not to see her for the twenty-first time
She may be a stranger trying to get through the day
But what if it’s Jesus and I walk away
I say I’m the body and drink of the wine
But I pretend not to see her for the twenty-first time
This is a call for a change in my heart
I realize that I’ve not been doing my part
When I needed a Savior, I found it in Him
He gave to me, now I’ll give back to them
Drifter or stranger, daughter or son
I’ll look for Jesus in everyone
‘Cause I am the body and drink of the wine
And I’m thankful there’s more than the twenty-first time
