31 years ago towards the end of 1978 Disco singer-songwriter Alicia Bridges was the star of one of the hottest hits on the radio and in the roller discos. She co-wrote this long-running gold-certified TOP 5 Disco smash that spent more than 7 months on the Billboard Hot 100.
Here now are the spiritual lyrics to “I Love The Nightlife (Disco ‘Round)”:
And here’s Alicia Bridges performing it via an early-form music video:
– It’s been a dark and gloomy day thus far here in America’s Riviera.
– One-third to two-thirds of an inch of rain has already fallen.
– It’s because of a cold front that’s currently draped over us.
– On the other side of the cold front it’ll be sunny, windy, cool, and dry.
– We could actually see wind gusts in excess of 35 MPH this weekend !
– Hold on to your wigs and keys !
– As you probably know by now I’ve been sick at home with a bad cold.
– I haven’t gone outside since I came inside from work on Tuesday afternoon.
– After a lot of laying and sleeping around I am now vertical and upright.
– I am on the slow road to recovery.
– I don’t expect to be 100% fully recovered until perhaps Sunday night.
– I hope to venture out later today to take the trash out and check the mail.
– This is the weekend of our big air show at the air base.
– It’s our first air show since the Spring of 1992.
– Check out all of the news that you can use at wingsoverhomestead.com.
– Yes – The USAF Thunderbirds will be there putting on a show.
– At the same time as the air show it’s the Miami-Dade Parks Ribfest 2009.
– See Joan Jett & The Blackhearts and Blue Oyster Cult LIVE in concert !
– There’s a lot to do and see right here in Homestead this weekend.
– Go check them out and support our local businesses down here.
– You won’t regret it pal.
During the early weeks and months of my fantastic journey late in 2006 (once I actually realized and confirmed that I was on such a journey) I knew that I was stepping in to something really big. It was huge. It was radical. It was life-transformational. Call it what you will, but there’s just one clarification that I’d like to make before I move on any further. The word ‘was’. It ‘was’ back then, and it still ‘is’ today. It is really big. It is huge. It is radical. It is life-transformational. It is today, and it shall always be infinitely.
That euphoria that I experienced when my previous life died and a new Life – a Rebirthing – began ? That euphoria is today. The fact of the matter is this. No matter when you were rescued and saved by our Lord Almighty above – whether it be last night, last week, last month, last year, or 25 years ago – if you’re not even more excited about this life-transformation today as you were in the beginning – then you’re only fooling yourself. You’re certainly not fooling God. If there’s no overwhelming excitement and passion for our Lord Almighty Jesus Christ today – then you’re not really living. You’re dying.
Never ever forget where you came from – no matter how dark and evil it was. Reveal it all to God, and ask Him for His forgiveness. With both eyes on the road ahead proceed moving forward with vigor towards the light ahead on the fantastic journey that He created especially for you.
You gotta run from yesterday
Turn away from past mistakes
And leave them all behind
You’re holding on too tight
You gotta run from yesterday
Turn away from past mistakes
And just make up your mind
There is no better time
It’s in the lyrics:
It hardly ever snows in Miami, but one time it did – and it made International news headlines. It was the notorious Winter of 1977 – statistically one of the coldest, windiest, snowiest, and most brutal winter seasons in modern recorded history east of the Mississippi River. Below freezing temperatures invaded virtually the entire great state of Florida, and snow dusted the ground deep into South Florida. Flurries were swirling in the air as far south as Miami, Miami Beach, and even Homestead on the morning of the 19TH of January of 1977. Snow mixed with freezing rain was even observed in The Bahamas on that historic morning !
The next day Jimmy Carter was inaugurated as our 39TH President Of The United States on a cold and sunny day in Washington D.C.
High atop the Billboard Hot 100 during both of these momentous events was this gem from British singer-songwriter Leo Sayer. It’s the biggest smash of his still-going 36-year music career, and it’s a Grammy Award winner. Here’s his gold-certified # 1 Disco smash – “You Make Me Feel Like Dancing”.
