So I have a lot of theories

So I have a lot of theories; I discovered that this is a large part of who I am on the way to Cornerstone this year; Michal and I decided it’s a family trait we get from our mom. This is the way I see the world really, some of them are completely set in my heart, part of who I am and the way I live my life others come out in a more joking manner like; the sun must set earlier in the south because the sun should not be setting at 9:30 in Illinois when it sets at 10 where we live in Michigan. And since this blog is my perspective on world and theories are so much the way I see the world, I thought I would share one of my core theories with you tonight so here goes. The right song heard at the right moment can change a life; I spend hours a day with headphones on, I listen to my i-pod while I work, so frequently I take the music I listen to for granted, it turns into background noise and loses a part of what makes it special, but when I stop and listen, truly listen, there is power, for different people it’s different things but when you listen to the words or to this instrument or that instrument or this or that progression, the way it all comes together, there is beauty, there is power, and there are those moments that change people. It’s been two weeks since I got back from Cornerstone, while we were there going to show after show I was amazed by how frequently we heard references to letting this festival change you. I am a firm believer in Christian music, it’s where I find my joy, my moments. We were at a Christian music festival so of course God was playing into the people being changed, but I find a tremendous amount of beauty in the way He uses music to foster that change; music brings people together, music becomes a part of the consumer, at least when you listen and experience it, music changes people, I know it changes me, at least, in theory.
