Can We Have The Best Of Both Worlds?

I used to listen to Van Halen enough to have seen them in concert more than once. After they changed lead singers I figured it was a doomed program but to my surprise they kept chugging out some music I still would listen to. It didn’t hurt they brought in a guitarist I also liked as a replacement.

One of these songs has lit up my heart in areas I couldn’t have imagined years ago. The title of it is called, “The Best Of Both Worlds”. Although the band got the truth wrong, they got the longing for more right. I edit music in my head for what may encourage me and I disregard the rest, kind of fun really. This is how I edited this particular song….

Best of Both Worlds  (lyrics…kept the best, dumped the rest)

I don’t know what I’ve been livin’ on, but
It’s not enough to fill me up
I need more than just words can say

‘Cause sometimes it’s not enough.
This can be everything we dreamed
It’s not work that makes it work

‘Cause honey, something reached out and touched me
Now I know all I want

I want the best of both worlds
An’ honey I know what it’s worth
If we could have the best of both worlds
We’d have heaven right here on earth.

We forget where we come from sometimes

John 10:10  (Message)  A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of.

*underlines added…we should understand what is meant by real and eternal
