Lyrical Worth
Post the lyrics to a song you really like and tell why you like it. (stina)
Presented with the opportunity to talk about Michael Card, I will do so freely *smile*
Perhaps this is breaking the rules, but I'm going to have to go with a whole album, I hope you don't mind. This particular album came at a crucial time in my life when everything around me was painful. My church was falling apart, I was working in a very difficult situation and I was at odds with my family and many of my friends. As my life was stripped away this music was ingrained so deeply in my heart that I have tears in my eyes thinking of it now. This is the album. I hope you enjoy it.

What makes something worth doing? (lindsey)
Inundation with distractions and constrains of a time limit remind me why I asked this question. My gut response is that if we act out of faith and our motive is love, anything and everything is worth doing. But it gets more practical than that. Stephen Covey, author of the 7 habits of highly effective people, says there are four areas we can operate out of. 1) Urgent and necessary 2) Not urgent and necessary 3) Urgent and unnecessary 4) not urgent and not necessary. Ok, sure, I agree. The thing is that I can know what I should do, what is necessary to do and not do it because at the time, the amount of energy needed to accomplish the task is so great that it is not worth the doing. Until afterwards, that is, when the aforesaid item is still on my list. So perhaps my question is really what makes something worth doing if it is not enjoyable. Ah, the truth comes out- I am a wuss. I guess love is my answer. Is the motive love? Then do it. Is it not? Let it be. I am eager to hear your response.
Question for next week: What is your favorite and least favorite physical feature and why?
