Well, I thought about the post by FordSVT and after the morning news I listened to the secular music. I normally listen to Christian music on my way to and from work. I began taking a strong interest in Christian music about 15 yrs. ago and decided to only listen to that. So today I wanted to hear the pleas of youth today in secular music, to understand the kids, "to relate to the world" as Ford SVT put it. That experiement lasted about a song...okay, not really, half maybe.
I work in the world everyday, I hear foul language, negative attitudes, dealing with discipline everyday in my job but I need to feel lifted up, inspired to keep focus on Him, encouraged to allow myself to be positive, to see through the sin and help the ones I deal with daily. I don't find encouragement in secular music, I can get soaked by the negativity of the world or be light to those around me because my spirit is satisfied due to the fact I just spent 40 mins. praising my Heavenly Father. I walk into my job and feel alive, positive, knowing I will have to discipline some students but knowing He will guide the discipline because I give it to Him everyday.

I used to have a job where my life was threatened, I was harrassed daily, sworn at daily, called every name in the book but I drove an hour to work and I spent it with Him. Not once did my job drag me down, it never effected me because I sang on the top of my lungs to Him. I worship God, through how I live my life daily with each of the kids I deal with and my colleagues.
I don't need secular music.
