Music

I absolutely love music. In fact you might say I'm addicted, unfortunately I am not as addicted as I once was, but nonetheless... Since I was twelve I have slowly but surely been building my music collection. I have a vast array of styles. I also have quite a conglomeration of favorites. I don't just get into the music I also like to know a little of the background of the artists that I listen to. I find that I can relate and be touched by music more when I know that I can trust the "heart" of the music. I try to keep up to date on the Christian music scene. Every so often something comes up that just tears at my heart. I hate when that happens. It actually occurred just this evening when I went to www.jesusfreakhideout.com to see what was new. I have been looking forward to the return of an artist only to find out that that particular artist has an issue in their life. I'm not going to say exactly what the issue is, you can find out for yourself if you really want to. I just have a few thoughts. Do we ever truly know where music is coming from? What issues are effecting the artist? It's not anyone's place to judge anyone, but what do you do when issues arise and involve music that you love? You don't want to open doors to the enemy. Yet where is the line that says this is acceptable and that isn't? I'm not really sure. This isn't the first time I've had to do some serious thinking on issues and controversies that are running rampant in our society and it won't be the last.

The weekend

For those who asked me to put up more music done by my mosted talented siblings, I posted some on youtube. The address is www.youtube.com/user/Tisktisk123

I don't have much time to be on here today. I'm back in Isabella watching my siblings and trying to get stuff ready to go tomorrow not just for me, but for the family. My great-grandma died last week.... The funeral is on Monday. We have to leave tomorrow. I am very sad that she is gone, yet I know that she is indeed in heaven a place where moth and rust don't destroy and where thieves can't break in and steal, a place with no more pain and suffering. She will be missed.

My parents are at AGLOW in Grand Rapids, they went yesterday and they should be back sometime later tonight. Probably for the first time they met someone who knew me and they were Kjersten's parents. I thought that that was funny, because it's always been "oh your Darrell Todd's daughter." Anyways I had better get busy. I have to make supper too. Last night I didn't know what I was making for supper until 5:30 and I had it done by 6:30. Still I made it up as I went along. Oh well, I guess the munchkins will have stories to tell about me. LOL!

Life is good, Eternal life is better!
