Beautiful day
the other day. I'm in my convertible, top-down, and I'm listening
to a CD a friend just gave me.
It's a new
band, and the songs were pretty deep. I like the arrangements.
One song I was listening to
got me thinking about who we are in Christ, as a whole, not just as
individuals, but as a community, and as it faded out, I was thinking
maybe God wants us to present us as a body, rather than
individually, to the world, and HEY HEY BRO HEY MAN DO YOU NEED A
FLAT-SCREEN????
That's what I
was thinking, because a truck pulled up right next to me, and the driver started
yelling at me.
I told him,
"No - sorry."
And I drove to
the red light, annoyed that my space got invaded, but this next song
actually has a nice keyboard intro, which I didn't expect, and
HEY MAN I DIDN'T STEAL THIS STUFF, IT'S FROM MY JOB!
He was back,
and I said, "Okay, man. I don't need it."
The light
turned green and I thought, "What a way to make a living. I'm in
my car, in my own head, enjoying this music, thinking about God, and
this guy foists HIS agenda on me out of nowhere. I didn't ask for
that. At the carnival, I could expect that, but I'm in my space. No
fair. That guy is annoying."
And then it
dawned on me: When I'm not respecting the music...
I'm that
guy.
