i had a whole conversation about steven curtis chapman last night. somebody said his music was whack (which, i know, is the general consensus in these pages of journalses) and i defended him.
couldn't help it.
i love the guy.
go ahead, call me old. i don't care.
i don't know...
for me, he's one of those artists that, when i think about his music (or when its brought up somehow) i don't think about him.
i think about the Lord.
that, to me, is a big deal.
i mean, isn't that the whole point of being a Christian musician?
to use your gift to glorify God?
to use what He's given you to point to Him; away from yourself...

when i think about that it challenges me. i mean, isn't that the point of being a Christian period?
in my life, its hard to balance that with personal style. i mean, is there even such thing as that or did we fat, slovenly americans make that up - personal style... you suppose that Jesus had a retro Apostle? some guy who walked around in 40-year-old vintage robes...
i am wearing my calvinism/armenianism shirt today. (it just occurred to me that i wore it last friday too. bad llama.) 10 years ago, i do not think that i would have a shirt like this. i think i have changed a lot in the past 5 or 6 years. not really in the core of me, but...on the edges.
on another topic entirely, the media fast is over. lalala... i started to watch ROTK EE last night (technically this morning) but couldn't (wouldn't? yes, "wouldn't" is a better word) stay up to watch all of it
now i'll call myself old...YOU ARE OLD.
it occurred to me,
as i watched...
this movie is really dark.
like, i only got through the first 40 minutes or so ::oh, for shame!:: but there were like...one...two...three... ... ... three violent deaths. and two of them weren't even in the book. i was bummed.
buuuuuut...you take into account who peter jackson is (some of his movies are rather creepy looking) and it doesn't surprise me...much.

tim burton is doing "willie wonka" and johnny depp plays the chocolatemakerman. i hope its good and not...bad.
i have to send my christmas box today.
lalala...
okay, well, i have to go now. i'm off to look at shacklee (shakley? shacklie? shaqleigh? hahaha!) vitamins and cleaning products that have no soap in them...
i love you guys!
me :)
ps
lockin tonight! yeah, baybee.
