Jibberish
I've been spending lots of time at home lately. I've been reading for my summer classes, especially Church History.I love the stories of the early church. Guys back then really took Jesus seriously, and it showed in their community - loving and holy. Community with such single-mindedness seems very foreign now. We seem to care a lot more about "being ourselves" than being holy. What if "being ourselves" and being holy were the same thing?
With a lot of alone time, I've had good diversions: leaks of the new coldplay (stream, torrent, and slow, annoying download), the new-ish Ryan Adams, and the new White Stripes.
Also, I pass the silence with various outbursts of Jibberish-speak to myself. I wish it weren't true. I have three basic Jibberish languages:
1.) Fake Spanish-sounding Jibberish
2.) Fake Japanese-sounding Jibberish
3.) General exclamitory Jibberish
I wanted to post an mp3 of "The Longer I Lay Here" by Pedro the Lion. If you have it, listen to it while you're reading this.
