on the way to work

Today was a good drive to work. I was feeling chipper, happy, and enjoying the music. A couple of things came to my mind:

One song was "Revolutionary" by the David Crowder Band. God's love is revolutionary; it really is. It turns the world and people upside down and frankly, seems an impossibility. And that's what we live in...the revolutionary love of God. Amazing!

the next one was "Stars" also David Crowder. It wasn't so much about the lyrics this time but the music sort of created a backdrop for a scene. The scene of a day beginning. The sky brightening the closer to work I get, everyone on their way somewhere. Where are they going? Work? School? The store? Meeting a long lost friend? Everyone has a story. Everyone has something going on. The day is new. God's mercies are new each day. It's a fresh start. Full of possibilities. There was something comforting and energizing about viewing the morning this way. It's almost like things slowed down and I was able to watch it from outside of myself. I'm not sure if that makes sense, but it was kind of neat, refreshing.

And that's how my day started. Now I'm at work and there is almost (quite literally) nothing going on today. So I'll have a bunch of extra time. Woohoo. i do have music and a couple of books and the company of my fellow subs so we should be okay.
