So I was sick for almost a week then, busy catching up with work and life for another. I have had things on my heart to write. Must have been fleeting thoughts. I was ready to write a new blog when, "Come home Eileen" came on the web music I was listening to. For those of you who don't know, it's an 80's song. Fun music. But as I searched for the Lyrics, (because one cannot really understand what the guy is singing. Sounds like he has a real bad cold. He makes it work. At least for this song) well, let say the lyrics are not what I thought. I read innuendo’s I didn't hear when previously listening to the song. What’s that mean? Exactly that, I didn’t notice it before.
I was having a conversation with a good friend the other day. Both of us have been saved (given our life to the Lord) just under 5 years. We still notice things we didn’t notice before. This song would be a prime example. I am not boycotting, I have freedom to listen to any song. I am merely stating that when truth is revealed, it sets you free. However, I sometimes now have a conviction in my heart when listening to certain songs. Are certain songs though artistically good beneficial for me? I don’t believe I am limited listening only to Christian music. To be honest, it seems some bands use the label “Christian” a little loosely. What does the word "Christian" mean to them? My prayer is that the spirit of God directs me. Ultimately I answer to him.
Peace and grace as you pursue his wisdom. Enjoying his creation. Through Art, music or simply gazing at the stars and eyes of your close loved ones.

yep, who hasn't pondered these things. (actually, probably many christians don't even think about it) but i do. I do want to be careful, I know what I don't like, and if the lyrics of the song affect my feelings too much, then i usually can't listen to it. It's good living life with you, keep on keepin' on.
oh i've thrown many a CD's away on a wimb (SP) because i felt convicted... it's the joy of listening to the God of creation.
