The Sound of Music II

So last time I posted, it was called The Sound of Music I, which was what most of the post was about.  I did intend to make a second post involving the words of the title (hence, the I). This post, although it is titled almost the same, is about something a little different. 

Last time I mostly wrote about the song My Favorite Things which is one of my favorite songs in the movie, The Sound of Music.  I think that each person should have their own version of that song.  Everyone needs a collection of those things that they can think of and then they don't feel so bad.  Here are a few on my list . . .

music in general
acoustic music
homade music
worship music
loud music
bonfires
fireplaces
hot drinks
heated seats
microfiber blankets
food
scarves
pump-you-up music
christmas lights
warm sweaters
splitting meals
people going out of their way to bless strangers
my dogs
my family
my friends
going out for breakfast
coupons
renting movies
walks
ice cream (duh)
reading
having intellectual conversations
hugs
smiling
watching what makes other people smile
comforters
movie nights
late nights
grace
heroes
and, my favorite of my favorites,
Jesus

p.s.-ok more than a few ;)

Post Prompts I

I googled blog post prompts just for fun and found a website with a whole bunch.  Rather than writing whole posts on some of the topics, I decided to do interview style responses. Write about the first time you broke the law. When I was 4, stole a handful of grass seed from a store. Felt awful but never admitted to it untill way later. They knew I was lying but never prosecuted (is it even possible to prosecute a 4 year old?).  I discarded the evidence onto their lawn as soon as I got out of the store (I guess that was sort of smart).  Why grass seed? Good question.  Your favorite vacation spot or place that you've traveled to. An Island in Malaysia called Redang. Everything about that place looked like those tropical photos you secretly doubt the existence of.  Straight up B-E-A-U-tiful. Write about the passing of a loved one. My Grandma died 2 years ago on the 4th of July (ironic, don't you think?).  For me, the whole experience wa...

How do you feel about that?

Like I got hit by a truck.  Like a cement block got dropped on my entire body.  Like the wind was knocked out of me.  Like a deer in the headlights.  Like I got slapped and at first it was numb and now it stings. But. . . "In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.  These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith-of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire-may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed."   1 Peter 1:6-7 It's worth it.

From desiringGod Blog

From a blog I follow called  desiringGod .  The whole website is full of truth.  I encourage you to check it out.  I've enlarged and boldened sentences I think are especially well said.   Not Your Mother's Kind of Tolerance by Jonathan Parnell | August 2, 2012   Views that advocate same-sex marriage are free to exist, but they are wrong. Now, stop. Read the above sentence again. Are you okay with it? Chances are how you feel about that statement indicates your understanding (or misunderstanding) of tolerance. D. A. Carson, in his book, The Intolerance of Tolerance , explains that Western culture isn't exactly firing on all cylinders when it comes to knowing what tolerance is. He distinguishes two different concepts of this word: old tolerance and new tolerance. Old tolerance — that is, before the onslaught of postmodernism — defines the concept as to "accept the existence of different views." New tolerance, however, defines tolerance ...
