"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.

I never got around to commenting on this one. But I really liked what you were saying. As long as we don't lose sight of God in the midst of these things, they truly can be amazing and a thing to be embraced in ministries everywhere. Oh, how I love art. :P
