"Mama" Cass Elliot said it best in her song "Make Your Own Kind of Music" (video below) when she sang - "And if you can not take my hand, and if you must be going, I will understand". If you're going to judge me by the music I listen to, you can take a hike. This might be the best lyric ever written - of course next to "Make your own kind of music, sing your own special song - even if nobody else sings along". Our Jr High classes will begin giving reports next Friday on one of the songs off their playlists they turned in a few weeks ago, in hopes to expose everyone to "new" music. As part of our Catholic faith, we stress the importance of not judging people. Whether its by their clothing, hair style, shoes, and even music. Jesus hung out with the prostitute, the thief, the tax collector and forgave those who put him to death. If that isn't an example of being non- judgmental, I don't know what is.
I've said before that music makes up the fabric of who we are, it's important that we stand behind who we are and what we believe in.
I can't believe that we are almost half way through October. Which for us, it's almost time to begin working on the Christmas program. Can't believe it's that time already. I have a good program planned, we'll see how it unfolds in the next few weeks.
