The Power Of Love

Love comes in all shapes sizes and colors. It is sometimes disguised as a smile, a kind word, a hand shake or a hug. No matter what form it comes in, it is the most powerful force in existance. Love can make a hard hearted person break down and cry like a baby. Love can cause you to forgive someone that you know has hurt you. Now, in our very limited human thinking and reasoning, it makes no sense to forgive and forget, or to love someone inspite of of the wrong they have done to us. You see my friends, love does not always make sense. Love is supernatural. Love is God. Now I know alot people may be thinking “awe man, he’s getting religous on us”. I am not getting religous at all. Love is one the most misunderstood things in the world. People confuse love with lust. They are two totally different things. Love is a spiritual, godly, thing that gives you the desire to treat your fellow man and woman with honor and respect. It makes you want to put others above yourself (within reason and in perspective). Lust on the other hand is sometimes very selfish and is always seeking to be number one and does not give a flip about anybody. Love brings care and concern. Lust brings just the opposite of that. Inspite of all, love is still the greater power. Have you ever picked up a baby that was crying and held the baby close to you and almost immediately he or she stopped crying? Well, okay, maybe the baby was hungry or needed drying, or just maybe the baby felt security and love when you held him or her close to you. On another note, love also works well through understanding. If you understand why a person behaves a certain way, that will cause you to have compassion for them because you realize where they are coming from. Love will cause you to bear with a person’s faults (as long as you are not being harmed in any way). Love can cause you to look at what some would say is the worst person in the world and make you say, “hmm they aren’t so bad”. If we had more people in the world practicing just simple principles of love, this would be a much better place to live in.

Music Is…..

Music is an expression of life. It is a very powerful energy and force that can touch and change hearts and minds. It is an ever present friend that visits us everyday of our lives.  Music can lift your spirit or make you sad. It can save your life, or make you want to commit suicide.  Music can change your mood or make you reminisce about another place and time. It can make you feel love or hate. It can make you laugh or cry or do both at the same time. You might wonder how  something so simple be so powerful and potent? I am glad you asked that question. Being a songwriter myself, and enjoying it very much, I will try to answer that question. Now, this is simply my opinion, but I truly feel and believe that music comes from the unseen realm or eternity. The person composing the song is the channel which the song comes through. I believe some forms of music are pure and some are poison or toxic. The heart of the person writing and composing the music greatly determines one or the other. Also, what is the message or what is the song suppose to do or accomplish. Some music is written and meant to be harmful, some is not. Now I know that some music may not appear to be neither good or evil. Some compositions are written solely as life testimonials,  I would say that’s cool.  Others are written to be humorous and lighthearted, two thumbs up. I guess as long as the music is not degrading human life in any way or degrading the Creator it is most likely okay. Inspite of all that we know that music is,  it is more than we can ever put into words or writing.
