Changes

Change always seems to hit so fast and unexpectedly. Just when you get into the groove of things, change happens. You graduate high school. Summer ends. You buy a mac. The OC stops recording. You move to college. People move away. It's inevitable, so why does it always seem so surprising when it happens? If it is indeed inevitable, why do we expect things to stay the same?

So many things are changing at dcf--new house churches, pastors leaving, new pastors on the horizons. It's exciting but at the same time, disappointing. I mean, I don't want Winn or Nathan to leave, but then on the other hand, I don't know who God has in store for dcf.

Whenever I start thinking about change, I think about that stupid book, "Who Moved my Cheese" that Mom made me read in 8th grade when we moved to Greenville. It's all about how people respond to change. The mice look all cute and fun on the cover of the book, but I hated that book. It was not cute and fun.

Change happens.

music

There's got to be a wrong way to listen to music. I would never normally agree to this statement, but after enduring about 2 songs, I have found someone who has no idea how to listen to music. First off, you shouldn't claim to have amazing taste in music if you always listen to pop--where's the quality? Secondly, turning the base up to like +8 and the treble down to -4 when you listen to Love Song by Sara Bareilles, just doesn't work. I mean, maybe if it was R&B or hip hop or maybe even jazz, but the song is PIANO driven....hopeless. It's not like you're Victor Wooten or anything.

Love Song

But, at least the song is kinda catchy...the lyrics are a little deeper than the bouncy feel of the song though so it's kind of a weird blend of cheer and drear.

The blogging begins!

So, I don't really know why I've begun blogging--I guess it's the peer pressure. I mean anyone who's cool blogs, right? Or maybe its the idea that I can leave a permanent record of my thoughts that can't be lost or damaged in a hurricane. Or, maybe Rob and Nathan were beginning to make me feel like a slacker. I can't promise anything highly intellectually stimulating or rolling on the floor hilarious but who knows, maybe I'll surprise myself along the way.
