(2 Samuel 6:5)
"And all the house of Israel played before the LORD on all manner of instruments"
If you know me, I think music is kind of a big deal. It's something that really connects to my heart in a pretty personal way for some reason. And music is a big deal for just about everybody, if you honestly think about it. In fact, it practically can define us, and does define us. A gangster is complete with rap music, and a punk is complete with heavy metal. Satanic people love black metal, according to Zack at least.
Kate said that Jonathan is indie music.
Music defines us, but I'm not really sure if that's right or not, because I'd rather have my God define me.
But do you get what I'm saying?
There's some undeniable deep connection that comes through music. It describes the beauty of a woman, and the greatness of a god. We use it to express the deepest longings in a human heart that can't be simply described.
And I think that poetry and writing and photography and painting are also music.
That is, if music is the expression of the deepest being of our hearts and souls, surely that's expressed in those ways as well. Photography and painting are just music of the eyes. Writing is simply music of the heart. Melodies are music of the ear.
God is too kind for giving us a way to share the deepest emotions of our hearts.

"Christ died precisely because man isn't worth dying for-to make them worth it again"
I love the Spanish culture.
I just got back from Miami for my cousin's wedding.
And it's always crazy.
Basically, I don't have a clue what anyone's saying,
and I don't know like anybody, but it feels like I've
known them for years. Like I have some awkward relationships
with cousins I sort of know on my mom's side, but not on my dad's.
Like it's not weird when everybody is kissing
eachother on the cheek or when I dance with my 2nd cousin from Spain
after meeting her like once.
It's all so intimate.
And I think so many of us are missing that in our society. We all walk around
and are so afraid to just dive on in and love eachother. We're quick to love in
a relationship, but slow to love as friends or family. Am I making sense?
I guess to put it in the most basic words I can say....
Why don't we love each other simply because Christ told us to love?
Anyways, I wanted to say that but I also wanted to share my weekend...
so yeah...Hope that made sense/wasn't a waste of reading!
