It feels like it's been forever since I've posted a blog, or have even thought about writing in one.
This
week is Vacation Bible School at east somerset, so Live Fish has been
keeping me super busy for a couple of weeks, but my goodness, it's
worth it. I have had a blast playing for everyone. I wouldn't trade
it for anything. Watching close to three hundred and fifty kids
swaying in one room to "You Alone" has got to be one of the greatest
feelings in the world.
Lately, I've been really thinking about
a lot of things; where i'm going in the next year, where i'll be,
life, religion/faith, and who my influences are. This week, my focus
has been strongly on religion and faith. Since joining Live Fish, many
people question my religion, some say I've become Baptist, or even
"Batholic." Honestly, I don't really care. I would much rather get
rid of religion, and just have a personal relationship with God. Why
let a silly thing such as religion get in the way of fellowship? Don't
get me wrong, religion is a fantastic way to come together and
worship. I just don't see why little details get in the way of how
someone is viewed by one another. People these days confuse me.
Let
me ask a question to you, the reader: Is your room like a giant
unorganized calendar? Papers scattered everywhere, piled on top of
each other with dates and activities and things that need to get done,
it's a miracle that everything works out...most of the time...These
papers with dates on them are like doorways, they possess opportunities
that you decide whether or not it should be taken. Then again, we must
look at our organized calendar and make sure no dates collide...alas,
sometimes they do. Often times I find myself in this situation. A
show is scheduled, yet, I would like to do something with my church
group. Out of fairness, the event previously scheduled is the victor.
When I'm playing these shows, I think to myself how people are
benefitting from this, or if I would have gone to the other event, how
would people benefit from it? In my eyes, once you have made a
commitment, make it the best it can be, no matter what the situation,
or no matter what you're going to miss, make it good and lasting for
someone.
I'm scared to death that since i'm not going to a
big univeristy or college that I won't meet my future wife or won't
discover what it is that i'm supposed to be doing. It bothers me that
the ones going away to college will throw their lives away, forgetting
everything they have ever learned from home, from experience, from
their pasts. It worries me, but we have to remember that to each
his/her own, let's learn from our mistakes, and make each day count.
It's times like these where I wish I had someone to talk to, or just hug for no apparent reason.
Goodnight.
