This Saturday I was at two weddings...one that started at 11:30am and the other that started at 6:00pm. I have been to quite a few weddings, but I don't remember doing that before! It was an interesting day. The next day in church another couple that I know well got engaged. A couple months ago our church had at least one engagement announced each week for 7 straight weeks! All this makes me concerned for marriages...not that I am specifically worried for any of these marriages (congrats to Wes and Ashley, Kelly and Jeremy and Matt and Andrea by the way). So many marriages suck and/or end in divorce. I decided to pray as hard as I could at each wedding this Saturday during their vows (pretty weak, but it was what I could do at the time). Does anyone else have some suggestions on how we can help improve other people's marriages? We all know our own marriages are perfect.
The whole idea of "Christian" music has bothered me lately. There is this whole industry that exists to produce and sell "Christian" music. It's as if the music itself could be Christian...I am pretty sure that music itself does not have a soul (well OK there is Soul music, but c'mon!). I prefer to think that music is just music, sometimes Christians play it, sing it or write it. What if Christians did not have the advantage of having Christian labels producing their music, or Christian radio stations playing their music and Christian book stores selling their music? I think it would be wonderful...I think there would be more "Christian" music on secular radio stations and in regular music stores. There would be Christian artists who are more prepared to be honest about their faith. There would be people outside the Christian circles who might be exposed to some good Christian artists (I think there are a couple of those!?). I think this would make...
