list

I'm one hundred percent unaware of what I'm supposed to write about today. But I want to write for some reason. So I think I will start out by writing down the first 10 songs that randomly show up on my mp3 player...perhaps this will get the writing juices flowing.

1. Ryan Adams - "Dear Chicago"
2. Mute Math - "Chaos"
3. Modest Mouse - "Black Cadillacs"
4. Ben Harper and the Blind Boys of Alabama - "Satisfied Mind"
5. Tom Petty - "Learning to Fly"
6. Kathleen Edwards - "Back to Me"
7. Keane - "Bend and Break"
8. Nada Surf - "Stalemate"
9. Fountains of Wayne - "Everything's Ruined"
10. Kutless - "All Who Are Thirsty"

I kid not that was the final song. That's pretty interesting because I remember playing this song at the UR shortly after this Kutless record came out. Of course we've played it several times, but I think that time was special because Jordie and Clint were there and we played with electric guitars.

That was fun. This is a great version of this song. I've decided to let it play as I type because sometimes I don't get enough "inspirational" music throughout the day. Although I don't really buy into Christian/secular musical debate. I don't think about that too often, but maybe I should. I know a lot of people who think that I'm diluting my brain by listening to music that they don't think is very Christian like.

But I've always felt like I don't come to music (some music anyway) to get my spiritual thirst fed. I guess there are some times when I do (when we worship together on Sundays or practice on Tuesdays) and sometimes when I don't (Pearl Jam concerts).

Actually I think music is just another area that I am gray about. I know it's not cool for Christians to admit to being gray about anything. It's all supposed to be black and white. All these issues that I've written about my doubt before are supposed to be clear cut but for some reason that's not often the case with me. I don't think I could only listen to Christian radio. I think my head would explode because, c'mon, some of it is just plain terrible.

Ugh, I'm exhausting myself. I thought this might be going somewhere but if it is, it's going there without me. Goodbye for now all. Hope you are well.
