Thoughts, Obviously.
I feel like we have gotten so far away from what we are really after, while looking for it. The basics always seem to get lost. In music, theology, and life in general. We work so hard to impress someone or make ourselves seem intelligent that we miss what we are really looking for. Its not hard to find a workaholic. Someone who is after money and power thinking that it will provide nice material things gets lost in doing what it takes to get them. Even men who are just trying to provide for a family. How can we miss this?
Am I playing music to be famous? Am I playing music to make money? Am I playing to connect with people? I remember when it was just a hobby, but now it has become something to make Him known. What have I done for His kingdom? My heart has been stripped bear. I pray that He will reduce me to nothing and build me back up in His image so that I may attempt to glorify the kingdom. Total depravity means that I am hopelessly and undeniably lost. Before I was saved, my heart was an empty void and now I am called to be different. 2 Corinthians 4:3-6 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they may not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God...For God, who said, ‘Light shall shine out of darkness,’ is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
His calling to the elect is irresistible. I have been forever changed.
I feel like I have over-shot whatever I am attempting to do. Which I have lost sight of because of everything cluttered in the way. Music, fame, computers, internet, cell phones, tv.... you name it.
I am headed back to the basics.
Bounce your thoughts off me, please.

Finding What Makes Me Tick
Here for the past few months I've been trying to pick my brain apart (messy, I know) to find out what makes me tick. I have been trying to learn why I like the songs I like. Why do the images and photos that catch my eye, actually catch my eye? Everyone is different and I have been learning how to pin-point what I enjoy and why. Colors and sounds are my focus... not so much smells, tastes, or textures.
I have been listening to songs to hear what going on underneath everything. What is that noise that is so hard to hear that only happens once in the song. Was that a flub or on purpose? I have compiled quite a few interesting things to listen for and because of that I am having to re learn every song I ever thought I knew. If feel like it I might come back later and post an example.
Images.. why do I like you? What colors strike my fancy? What is that placement for? Typography blows my mind. We can have all the same numbers and letters written in all sorts of crazy ways and still read what they say. Have you ever looked at everything as if it were just a line? How does nature know so much about the sights and sounds I like? That bird is so RED and sings such great melodies. What a packaged deal.
I'm up for a change of scenery.
I'm on another rabbit trail.

We're In It.
I need this.
"If you're anything like me, then I'm a lot like you. The ice on my toes, lets me know all the places I haven't been. Set me on fire and teach me to love you, like I should"
New songs soon.
