music is the door to my soul...

i have good taste in music. i do. it is weird. somehow as a child growing up the "kool and the gang" and "james taylor" being pumped into my soul manifested itself into quite the music aficinado. and i turned out alright. quite alright. and by the way never say anything negative about kool and the gang or james taylor they kick ass.

i was just sitting at work thinking about music. i recovered a cd that i was...will just say IN LOVE WITH and lost about three years ago, but an angel in the form of a boy my roommate is casually dating made me a copy after i mentioned that they probably are one of my favorite bands.

anyone laughing that i just made a definitive favorite statement about a band?

but they are. really, they could be in the top 15. but right now they are my FAVORITE.

ha.

i think christianity has lost touch with music. or rather good music. at my great uncle's funeral last week i was reminded how music is so fundamental to judaism. and i love it. the scripture is always sung. it makes sense, it is easier to remember things if they are set to a beat and have a catchy melody. so i am planning to write the entire bible to song. ha. nevermind i cant do that but someone should, and i will sing it along with my nsync christmas album and my long lost splender album (splender is the band i mentioned earlier)

i wonder a lot about how the church is constantly changing, not just in the aspects we always complain or think about, but in ways like when did they stop singing the scriptures, whose brainy idea was that?, who invented pews?, why do we continue to divide into more denominations although we preach unity?, why do we judge other denominations when we preach tolerance and understanding...it is not just outside the church that we judge but inside as well...

i like being jewish. they do the same thing, dont get me wrong...division division division...change up the rules as they like...hell life is subjective and realtive lets make religion that way too.

i'm glad jesus is real and really good.
and i love my splender cd.
