Music...

So guys. Music. Lets talk about it. I love music. I mean, what teenager doesn't? I fyou know me, you never see me without my Ipod blaring. I wake up to music, hang out with music playing, sleep to music...I pretty much do everything with music. I love all types of music. Rock, rap, techno, regae, pop, country, screamo...as long as it has words, I'll have some apreciation of it. I know for a fact that when we get to heaven, there will be music playing. In heaven, there will be an abundance of 3 things: music, books, and peanut butter. :) God created music as a gift to man kind. But one thing I don't like is the fact that Satan took it and perverted it. I mean, seriously. All you have to do is go to a store and listen to the music, and you hear about everything from sex to fireflies. :) You know, like look at these lyrics:
"I'll take you home if you don't leave me at the front door. Your body's cold, but girl we're getting so warm...She touches like this when you touch her like that, she moves like this when you move her like that, she does like this when you do he rlike that. Shake shake shake shake shake it." (Quote taken from Metrostation's song, Shake it)
"I'm taking a moment just imaginin' that I'm dancin' with you-I'm your pole and all you're wearing is your shoes. You got soul, you know what to do to turn me on until I write a song about you and you have your own engaging style and you've got the knack to vivify and you make my slacks a little tight, you may unfasten them if you like.That's if you crash and spend the night." (Quote taken form Jason Mraz's song, Butterfly)

So if we were to analys those songs, they both have the same message. "Let's have sex." Great song, right? You know, in my peronal opinion, those are good songs-music wise. They have good music to them, but you won't find those song son my Ipod. I mean, I have my standards, and they might be different from your standards or your friend's. But I don't chose to put music in me that says things like that. I don't listen to music that has lot's of cussing or talks about sex all the time. Sure, I have some songs that say d*mn once, but I don't continuosly fill up my mind with music like that. Think about it this way. Your spirit is part of you, and you feed it, just like your physical body. So lets say music is a food for your spirit. Lets compare music with lots of cussing or music that talks about sex to dirt. And lets compare good music (maybe not nessicarily Christian music-but just normal music without a ton of cuss words or sex-talk) to vegetables. Yeah, if you eat some dirt, it won't kill you, and maybe it might taste good for a second, but it's bad for you. But you can eat vegetables all you want, but it won't hurt you one bit. And don't say "Well I'll get bored of the same type of music all the time." Cause there are lots of vegetables out there. But only one type of dirt-dirty dirt. You understand? And if you look on my Ipod, you won't only find "Amazing Grace" and "how great thou art" on it. I listen to all types of music-christian, secular, rap, rock, pop, techno, country, screamo-all of it. But I can garuntee you this-all of my songs are vegetables. :)
