If you don't already know, I am not a big fan of Christian music. I enjoy some really good worship stuff and maybe a few others, but that is about it. (I won't go into why I think this way.)
To my surprise, Christian music and even Christian radio helped me keep the right perspective and attitude this past week. Let me explain.
One day last week I showed up to work and found out that I was going to have a difficult day ahead of me. A million negative thoughts were running through my head...I was trying to reorganize my thought pattern. And then I heard a familiar song. The family had a Christian radio station playing in all of the rooms of the house. It was great hearing some "words of wisdom" to help me and not allow me to let my thoughts and frustrations take over how I was thinking or acting. And for the record, this family isn't a "church" family.
Over the weekend I decided to have my "worship" play list from my ipod going while I studied or worked at my computer. This brought such a calmness to me and helped remind me what life and circumstances is all about.
I guess what I am saying is that despite my thoughts about Christian music, there is a definite time and place that it can minister to my soul, help me control my thoughts, and just remind me that there is more to life than what we have here.
I am going to try to be more open minded about Christian music. We'll see what happens.

i totally understand what you are saying about "Christian music" I love to listen to worship when I am at school during a crazy day or at home stressed out. It toally does refocus your mind and helps you to think of things eternally, and put life into persepective, and remember that GOd is always in control and has your back. Gosh, do you remember Carmen? Ugh he was one silly Christian singer! It's like 80's christian music...totally remember it...it makes me laugh!
