Music and Religion

It always bothers me to see people who don't know much about the faith try to act as if they know more than we who have studied it all our lives. I compare this to my lack of understanding of music.



 

 
I like to listen to music
and I also like to sing.
I play piano with one finger
And tune a guitar string.
 
I don’t know what’s an augmented
or how to transpose a key.
I just know what I like
and what sounds good to me.
 
If I have a musical question
I ask someone with a degree
and I trust their education
will help them explain to me.
 
Many who call themselves Christian
realize what they don’t know.
They know what makes them feel good
and they try to go with the flow.
 
When they have a religious question
they seek one trained in God’s Word
to think they know just as much
would be so very absurd.

Music is beautiful and peaceful and gentle, just as the Good Lord. I was raised in a Catholic family as my mother was just two when her Mom died, Mom was raised by her aunt Sister Mary Joseph Byrne in the convent. Though she taught us well, There are so many things we don't understand.

Everyone is a musician, though Larry. I don't know more about music than the next guy. It's all intertwined, music is the language of the heart, like poetry. We're all on equal footing with music, I'm sure of it. My mother never had a class, but she sang better than most of the music majors I knew, even doctoral students. Religion may be a different matter, but music, eh, we can all communicate in that universal language.
Blessings,
Christine

I am one of those who wished I understood the Bible better. If I compared it to something like music, or Football, baseball, or God himself, I would be lost.

GOD BLESS YOU

How very true, but then life is what it is. Many forget to open their ears to listen...

Be always safe,
Karen
