Week 2 A Personal Comment
Hmmm, a personal comment, eh? Well, I've already written that I have my own opinion about art and music, and my blogsite wasn't even online 24 hours before I was told by a poster that my interests are "weird". I'm not sure what the poster meant, am I weird, or just my tastes? I had not comprehended that liking classical and contemporary Christian music, Carravaggio and Thomas Kinkade would place me so far outside the mainstream as to be "weird". While I cannot speak for Caravaggio, Thomas Kinkade has been "laughing all the way to the bank" with the loot he has made with his artistic "weirdness", we should all be as fortunate with our individual weirdness. The poster may have meant that I am unlike his acquaintances, that may be true, but then perhaps I am not the weird one, perhaps it is his acquaintances who are outside of the mainstream. If he was referring to my liking for contemporary Christian music, he may have a bias against me because since it has the word "Christian" in it, most likely that would indicate a direction of my spiritual thinking, and perhaps he thinks I am totally "out of it" from a secularist viewpoint. Alternatively, he may not have any such bias against me, but against the term "contemporary Christian" music. He mentioned that he was French, and I do not know how much, if any, of this style music is available in that language. He may be so unfamiliar with it as to think it is the "organ playing, old fat lady sitting in the back of the church" type of music that people find so deadening in today's church. If that is the case, and he would like to know what exactly is this type of music, and he is not afraid to try something different, I suggest that he to go to :

Other than that, I will say that I am enjoying this blog more than I would have thought. Not only do I get to write, I even have people who read what I say! Life is good.
