EDIM 7 - Music Is Good Stuff

Hm. There's one or two things brewing on the back-burners of my inconsequential mind, but nothing nearly resolved enough to bear writing down. Do that too soon and I invariably end up writing loophole-filled circular logic-based paragraphs. Which, I guess is at least of some value in the humor department. Yet after a day of disquieting regularity... humor isn't something I think attempting would result in anything good. More like sadistically ironic dry stuff far to full of implication to be funny at all.

Instead, I'd just like to share some music for a change. Here are youtube links to some music I've found uplifting/soothing/plain good. Also, for delicate/choosy ears sake... I'll leave a general genre label after the links. Maybe you will like a few of these while you do whatever it is you end up doing.

Becoming the Archetype - How Great Thou Art - Metal

For Today - White Flag - Metal (not particularly a favorite, but pretty good nonetheless)

Audio Adrenaline - King - Rock

Mew - The Seething Rain Weeps For You - Jazz Ballet.... or atmospheric rock I guess.

My Epic - Shadows - Not sure what this is, but if you don't like it you need to grow your taste in music.

My Epic - Perfector -If for whatever reason you didn't like the other one, this one is softer.

Secret & Whisper - Whale Bones - Um, not sure what this is, but if you don't like it you need to grow your taste in music?

Mindthings - Colours Of Happiness  - Introverted, or at least that's the feeling it creates. In a good way.

Mindthings - Shared Loneliness - Chill

John Murphy, Sunshine Soundtrack - The Last Message/A Beautiful Day - Every time I listen to this song, everything is going to be ok, and living for Christ is so totally real and worth everything.

Familiarity Breeds

There's one fact swirling along the periphery of my brain today. The close proximity and familiarity by repetition of co-workers resulting in care for people I don't care for. There's only so many people that one can emotionally connect and intentionally build relationships with, and the cold fact is that time has a lot to do with friendship, because time is valuable. Spend time leveling in an rpg (thank goodness those days are over) and try not caring about losing days of progress. And so on and so forth with additional analogies. Jesus does say to love and pray for enemies, but also had only twelve "close" followers, or friends. My old lost and dead flesh dislikes people, but Christ within loves. So it happens that I end up caring for people I don't care for. At the same time, we are the salt of the world. Christianity isn't about holing up in our home with best buds all day and staying away from all the bad people. What a bad influence. This fact

The Fruit Of The Spirit

This passage has always encouraged me. I hope you find some encouragement and peace from it. Galatians 5:22-26 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other." Against such things there is no law. Really? Think about it. If everyone had these gifts in abundance, we wouldn't hardly need law at all. There definitely isn't any laws against them. Continuing on to the second part, the opposites to these gifts are easily named under "passions and desires". Only with Christ can we put these away and behind us. Selfishness, despair, madness, anger, um, nastiness, disloyalty, malice and impulsiveness. Those all sound horrible, and mean

Still Muddling Through

It's been some time- inside of which I've aged. In ten years- or less- I'll be able to read this bit and chuckle and say, 'I've aged". Yet it really doesn't matter that my immaturity still exists, it's comforting to simply make progress. No one just clicks and becomes perfect and ceases to grow in wisdom for the rest of life. That 'click' point merits its own article. At seven I thought it would be ten, at ten I thought it would be fifteen, at fifteen I thought it would be eventually... but of course with so much wisdom now at least I no longer guess any more ages. Ha. Blogging is a pretty good way to exercise writing, even if it does require consciously telling the grammar police and editing moguls in my head to shut up occasionally. Can't get a straight sentence out otherwise. And I declare- says the least disciplined youngest of five- 'writing shall be in my life, whether I like it or not!' An astounding argument of logic.
