Music Is Big

tapes, cd's, radio in car and house, TV music channel, music in restaurants and stores, BOOM BOOM BOOM in parking lots, church, Girl Scout camp, I (heart) Radio, Pandora, Playlist, You Tube, Commercials, Movies, TV Shows, ballgames to carnivals, I-pods, weddings to parades, phones, ZEDGE, prom to lullaby, records

 

music is everywhere 

 

Could we ever count the songs that have been written or sung?

Cowboy to Jazz

Opera to Bluegrass

Christmas to Rock

 

On and On and On it could go.

 

And it does.

 

Songs mark the times of our lives, they do cause floods of memories.

 

Jesus Thou Joy Of Loving Hearts makes me think of Kimberly, at the piano

Circle of Two.....listened to this tape the night Daniel was born

If I'd Known You Was Coming, I'd Have Baked a Cake.....Aunt Nancy

Carry Me Back To Old Virginia......trip with the girls

It's Such A Pretty World, Today!  Isabel, Kansas

The Last Word In Lonesome Is Me.....a song my dad used to sing

Music Box Dancer makes me think of working in the cafeteria at the Fuller Brush Factory in Great Bend, Kansas....and of a piano recital

Pirate Songs....makes me want to clean the house with Lydia

Don't Step On Mother's Roses, good old Johnny Cash....can't hear this song without my skin crawling.

You Are My Sunshine.....my only sunshine.....I don't care where I'm at or who I'm with,

this song makes me cry.  No matter what.

Train They Call the City Of New Orleans.....Lydia

Teddy Bear Parade.....days of Big Jon and Sparkie on the radio

Grandfather's Clock makes me think of my sister

Always has.

Trusting Jesus....Always Have, Always Will........makes me think of my girls

Swans on the Lake....girls/me/piano

Kelly Man Jelly, or is it Jelly Man Kelly?......the kids

Seasons In the Sun makes me think of Toni, my school friend

Soar!  The Kelly family and Colorado

Living By Faith ~~~~ Mission Boulevard Baptist Church

Country Bumpkin, this song was popular when my best friend's mom died.

 

 

Do you believe....you are what you eat?

If so, you should believe you ARE what you listen to.

If you listen to a song long enough, it becomes a part of you.

 

You listen to a certain kind of music long enough, and you become a person

you probably shouldn't be,

or better for it.

Test yourself.....after listening to a certain kind of music,

check your mood.

 

If music can make you sad.....make you want to dance.....make you want to praise the Lord....make you cry.....make you want to clean the house.....make you want to *jam*?.....

then it can make a rebel out of you.....

or soften your heart to the things of the Lord.

 

I'm highly affected by music.

I'm highly affected by weather.

I'm highly affected by smells.

 

I can control one of them, most of the time.

Most of the time, the music I listen to, is my choice.

Sometimes I'm in a restaurant and can't help it.

 

Would the Lord choose my music?

The Lord * hears * all of my music.

 

I got saved when I was 19.

I stopped listening to most of what I was familiar with.

But it's still in the back of my mind and heart somewhere.

Not all of it was bad.

Not all music is bad.

But some is.

Figure it out.

There are a kabillion songs out there.

Enjoy the good ones.

 

Psalm 40:3

And he hath put a new song in my mouth,

 even praise unto our God: many shall see it,

 and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.
