Sometimes, I like to keyword search songs in my iTunes collection.Today, I decided to do so with the word "safe."When I keyword-searched this, I came up with two surprisingly different songs…The first was Safe and Sound (from the Hunger Games) by Taylor Swift and the Civil Wars, and the second was Safe by Phil Whickham.

However, for those of you that knew me then, you would readily agree that I was quite the "over-confident little girl" (to quote my daddy). ...
