You give me hope.

Some days I feel like the crazy gal standing on a soap box calling out to the people who pass by. And deep inside I know I am no longer trying to change them, I am trying to prevent them from changing me.

Some people seem to think that choosing to sneer at another person’s expression of devotion is some sort of theological argument. It is not. It is simply a disrespectful expression of personal opinion, intended to elevate oneself others.

You can say a song is “a hormonal teenager’s craving for a boyfriend,” or something like that ... or you can say it expresses a vulnerable soul’s yearning for intimate union with her Lord and Savior, friend and brother.

You understand Spanish, don’t you? My group does this song with guitar (the horror!), but the Other Guy in our Spanish music program does this arrangement with keyboard.
