Truth

It was another one of those days where I wake up and I feel compelled to accomplish as much as I can before bed. For instance, I cleaned out my car today for the first time since the fifth of December. Needless to say, it was a mess. After that and many other errands, I found myself in vocal lessons. That's right, I'm taking vocal training. I was concerned at first, because I didn't know how a trainer would be able to communicate anything to me, but this guy knows his stuff. He has me sing and then he just watches my posture and breathing and mouth formations. He's given me good advice thus far. He really thinks he can improve me drastically in the next ten weeks. After that, I've got piano lessons, which I am also excited about. I've always wanted to learn the piano because I think it would be a much more superior writing tool for me than just the guitar.

I came home and relaxed for a while before I went to sociology class. My professor is in his early thirties. His name is Dr. Ken Spring, a graduate from Vanderbilt who has no appearance that would lead you to believe he is a doctor. He wears jeans and has a nose piercing with tatoo sleeves. He also just happens to be a professional BMX racer. He's very passionate about sociology though. He raises some interesting discussion topics. I reflected tonight on how far I have come from freshman year to now. I used to get so offended when people would say things I considered to be ignorant and unchristian. But now I listen more than I speak. I try to gather a full understanding of the feelings of the majority before I try and address the issue. It can be depressing though. Nobody believes in any matter of truth anymore. Postmodernism has convinced the developed world that there is only relativity. There is nothing worth putting all of your faith in. To do such is considered barbaric and ignorant. There is also a great deal of animosity against Christianity. I understand why. Christians have been so dominating and opressive with their beliefs for so many generations. But it bothers me that people lump Jesus in with their Christian enemy. I feel bad that we have represented Him so poorly. Perhaps something might happen that would convince this world that there are some things worth putting all of your faith in. Peace and love.
