In other news...

Lately I have been thinking about my spiritual views/opinions. Going through Mark at Southside, I've seen Jesus interact on several occasions with the Pharisees. I think for some time I've felt self-justified in being sure that I am not a Pharisee. I of course am much more loving and maybe less conservatively minded than those I would think of as Pharisees. That sounds bad even as I type it. Anyways, lately I have convicted that just because I think of myself as less legalistic, I still in many ways see myself as having God and my relationship with him all figured out, and often see myself as better than others who hold more or less rigid views. I guess as I get older I just learn that there is more and more I really don't understand, and I really am a prideful person. It's funny because adults tell you this kind of stuff all the time growing up, but you only start to see what they are seeing as you live through various life experiences. So in the end, I guess I just have to ask God to guide me and make me less of a Pharisee.

On a different subject, I just finished recording a better version of a song I arranged in Columbia. I say arranged because I took an old hymn, switched some words around, and gave it a new tune a chorus...it's the cool thing to do these days. You can find it here.
