The Dreamer

Dreamer's scare people, some dreamer's are the artisans of this world.
Dreamer's live in this world, some dreamer's live for another world.
Dreamer's are the breath of life, some dreamer's can't appreciate life.
Dreamer's love intriguing conversations, some dreamer's love no conversation.
Dreamer's are emotional, some dreamer's don't know how to convey their emotions.
Dreamer's work to live, some dreamer's live to work-when said dreamer gets their dream job.
Dreamer's are the enemies of practicality, some dreamer's are enemies of the state.
Dreamer's enjoy shaking things up, some dreamer's shake to hard to fast.

To live the life of a dreamer all you need to do is imagine.

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
- John Lennon

Unsure. .

I have become unsure of the world that man has created. It is such a dark and faithless place, it is not ours to run, yet we try and rule it. It is time for a change, it is time for God to rule over this world. It is time for love to rule, once love has found a way life will feel right.

Life is just sitting there waiting for us to grab a hold and run with it. When will you grab your life and run with it? Or do you just want to sit around and have life handed to you.

Merry Christmas!!!

So, instead of a mass text Merry Christmas I decided to do this.

"Merry Christmas to all, I hope your family and yours have a wonderful day.
May your day bring you hope, peace and a little something special in your stocking.
Let there be food in your belly, warm clothes on your back,
And a little bit of rest for your soul.
To the musician's, artist's, and creatives, enjoy your gifts this holiday time.
Use your gifts to make others smile."


Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Things I've been thinking about. . .

Ok, so in no specific order-

•why does it seemlike everyone thinks that you have to be totally put together to find someone to love?
•What is out there for a younger person who wants to work for the Church but has his own ideas and wants to do church in a different way?
•What happened to my childhood?
•I love crisp fall days. .
•I'm wonder when I will figure it out
•Why does the physical body matter so
much to people?
•When do I get paid for having a degree?
•Why did I go to college?

Cool "quote". . . .

"The world does not consist of 100 per cent Christians and 100 per cent non-Christians. There are people (a great many of them) who are slowly ceasing to be Christians but who still call themselves by that name; some of them are clergymen. There are other people who are slowly becoming Christians though they do not yet call themselves so. There are people who do not accept the full Christian doctrine about Christ but who are so strongly attracted by Him that they are His in a much deeper sense than they themselves understand. There are people in other religions who are being led by God’s secret influence to concentrate on those parts of their religion which are in agreement with Christianity, and who thus belong to Christ without knowing it…" - CS Lewis

Some days I'm not sure where I'm at in this manuscript, it's rather long for a quote. . . isn't it. . . .

Feeling the need to create

So, I haven't created anything in awhile. It feels very weird, it's like apart of me is not living right now. I want to make music, create experience's, and just explore the mind that God has given me. But, I also need to re-create myself at the same time/before I can completely figure out what God wants me to do with myself, how am I doing this?

I'm going to try and read more, explore myself more and just enjoy what God has given me.

Here's to re-creating Steve. . . . . .

Re: The new traditional church

This is a response to an article I read over at monty hobson's little piece of the interwebs.

It states that more churches should be involving the hip-hop/r&b genre into their worship services because itunes says that a good portion of the people who buy their music on itunes purchase hip-hop. I'm not giving the right numbers but that's not really the point.

IF the Church were to embrace hip-hop/r&b as a style of music to be used during corporate worship wouldn't it bring up the question, "how do people sing along with someone rapping or flowing?" To me the music style used in worship does matter, but not to the point that people can't sing with it.

Of course all this to say I don't think that I will ever find my "style" of worship this side of heaven. I can adapt and meet God in most styles of music. But for me to enjoy and not have to stop thinking to worship I need music with a little more grit and punch to it. And then there's the whole function of how to mix it well for a worship service.

Which is another topic for another night? Maybe I will start adding to this blog more often again. . . . . . .
