I was in a nostalgic frame the other day, so I plugged in my old Sony turntable and extracted some vinyl from its storage space. On Friday I had DeGarmo and Key Live out, and a Randy Matthews album. This morning I’m spinning one of my favorite old albums, Dylan’s “Saved” (with the original cover art, of course). The first cut on side two stands out today: “Pressing On.” Some days we need the encouragement to just keep going. We all have those days, and today, for me, is one of those days.
Well I’m pressing on
Yes, I’m pressing on
Well I’m pressing on
To the higher calling of my Lord.Many try to stop me, shake me up in my mind,
Say, “Prove to me that He is Lord, show me a sign.”
What kind of sign they need when it all come from within,
When what’s lost has been found, what’s to come has already been?Well I’m pressing on
Yes, I’m pressing on
Well I’m pressing on
To the higher calling of my Lord.Shake the dust off of your feet, don’t look back.
Nothing now can hold you down, nothing that you lack.
Temptation’s not an easy thing, Adam given the devil reign
Because he sinned I got no choice, it run in my vein.Well I’m pressing on
Yes, I’m pressing on
Well I’m pressing on
To the higher calling of my Lord.

How are you pressin’ on today?
By the skin of my teeth…
and my lovely family and our slightly magnificent fellowship…
OK, first of all, what is a turntable, and what is vinyl? LOL, just kiddin’ ya;-) Man are we old or what? It’s weird that my kids have never seen a vinyl album, let alone an eight track tape player.
Anyway, How am I pressin’ on? Well, I got out of bed this morning.
Ya made me want to go dig up that vinyl and give it a spin. I’m sure I gots it boxed up somewhere in my collection!
How am I pressin’ on?
