Let’s Shuffle
There’s a cute little meme working its way away the blogoshpere that supposedly plays out the soundtrack to your life…if your life were a movie. Simply put your MP3 player on shuffle then answer the questions (truthfully) shuffling to a new song for each question.

Whoa, this is sorta a little scary, don’t you think? Some folks wonder why I choose to listen only to Christian music. That happened a long time back when I was going through a particularly rough spot in my life and I noticed how nearly every song that came on the radio at the time was what I called a “hurt me song”. It was like each song ripped my heart out all over again and it was too much to take. That was when I discovered Christian Contemporay music and fell in love with how good it made me feel. I let the music wash over me and it has healed a severely wounded heart more than once. I don’t completely shun other genres but simply choose to immerse myself in this one.
