i was laying in bed this morning listening to the radio while i was trying to motivate myself to get up and get ready for work. i can't remember what the dj's were talking about...oh yeah, one of them said his daughter was standing in front of her mirror and singing priase songs at the top of her lungs and couldn't care less who saw/heard, and the dj's talked about how much that changes when you get older and start to care what others think, and then one of the dj's says, "wouldn't it be great if you could go to church and be able to have freedom of expression? to be able to sing at the top of your lungs in joyful praise and have the freedom to express yourself and not worry about what others think?" the other dj pauses and responds solemnly, "...yeah..." they both had that tone that kinda seemed to say, "yeah it would be awesome if it was like that...we wish it could be...why can't it? it'll never be possible...". almost like hopelessness in people ever being able to freely express their praise to God in any given church worship service. realizing they didn't really have anything else to add to the topic, they quickly moved into another song.
man, that sure hit the nail on the head for a big frusteration i've been feeling :) "freedom of expression" - i like that.
back to work.
keep it real.
