Patrick Shipley hails from Chattanooga, TN USA. Patrick has B.A. in Communications with a Minor in History from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Patrick has over 20 years of musical experience on the stage and in the studio as a performer, studio musician, and songwriter.

He is also the founder of the band Faith Head. Primarily an avid fan of heavy music but his tastes vary from blues to funk. Apart from his music interests, Patrick is a prolific writer. He is married and a father of three and serves his church as a deacon and Sunday school teacher.

 

Dave Grohl, the original drummer for the band Nirvana, formed the band, Foo Fighters, in 1994 after the death of Nirvana’s frontman, Kurt Cobain. What had been initially meant to be an anonymous solo project turned into Grohl’s chance to spread his wings and fly in a different direction from Nirvana.

The band’s name was coined after a World War II secret term used to describe UFOs. Their career, spanning more than 25 years, has managed to produce multiple Top 100 Hits with “Best Of You” and “Times Like These” being two of those songs.

“Times Like These”
song lyrics:

I, I’m a one-way motorway
I’m the one that drives away
Then follows you back home
I, I’m a street light shining
I’m a wild light blinding bright
Burning off alone

It’s times like these you learn to live again
It’s times like these you give and give again
It’s times like these you learn to love again
It’s times like these time and time again

I, I’m a new day rising
I’m a brand new sky
To hang the stars upon tonight
I am a little divided
Do I stay or run away
And leave it all behind?

It’s times like these you learn to live again
It’s times like these you give and give again
It’s times like these you learn to love again
It’s times like these time and time again

It’s times like these you learn to live again
It’s times like these you give and give again
It’s times like these you learn to love again
It’s times like these time and time again

It’s times like these you learn to live again
It’s times like these you give and give again
It’s times like these you learn to love again
It’s times like these time and time again

It’s times like these you learn to live again
It’s times like these you give and give again
It’s times like these you learn to love again
It’s times like these time and time again

Have you accepted Christ as your Savior?

If you would like to accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, please pray the following prayer:

“God, I believe in you and your son Jesus Christ.  I believe that Jesus died on the cross and rose from the grave to save me. Today, I invite Jesus into my heart to stay.  I make you Lord over my life. Make me new. Wash me, Lord, and cleanse me. In Jesus Name, Amen”

If you have just prayed that prayer, we want to celebrate your new victory with you.  Please contact us at prayers@oceanfloorministries.com so we can welcome you into the kingdom.  We don’t want you to have to walk alone and we have some resources we would like the opportunity to share with you.
