There is no better cure for a cruddy day, than to get away in my car. I pretend I’m not one of those painful-to-watch performers on American Idol, and sing all my favorite songs at the top of my lungs. Sometimes there is even a little dance to go along. I feel safe that no one can see me when I’m driving back from the machine tool lab at 3 in the morning. When driving through intense rush hour traffic on my way home from school, my most favorite song is Time is ticking away by dcTalk. It gets me pumped, and I can make lane changes I would, otherwise, never be able to make. When I’ve had a bad day, and I’m heading out to Starbucks, I like to play Newsboys or, lately, Rascal Flatts. The best song ever for running is Come On to the Future by Skillet. My favorite band is usually what ever I’m currently into. I listen to songs so many times I get sick of them and don’t listen to them again until three years later when their rediscovered. I believe music is helps the soul to fly, can be a gateway to another reality, and opens our hearts to hear words from God.
