I'm not very good at coming up with titles for my blogs, so I decided that I would start my iTunes and the first song it played would be my title for this blog. It was "The Legend of Miss Baltimore Crabs" from the musical Hairspray. I have decided that's just a weird title, so I decided to hit the next button and that is where the title of this entry came from, in case you were wondering!
I haven't been blogging as much lately because all of my spare time is consumed with The Mark of the Lion series books. I am hooked. I have finished one and am already 100 pages into the second. For those of you that really know me, this is huge! I have completed 2 books while I have been here and have begun my 3rd, 4th and 5th. (The 4th and 5th being books for class, but once again still more better than I ever did in college...those books just didn't seem worth my time).
Last night I waited at the bus stop slightly annoyed that I had to wait at yet another bus stop. It was then that I began to hear someone singing. I looked around and realized it was the other lady who was also waiting on the bus. I began to listen, and she hit some notes, but I don't think she was even near the right note most of the time, yet somehow it sounded beautiful. As I really began to listen and hear the words she was singing I realized she was singing praise songs! How wonderful to hear something like that at a bus stop! It seems like sometimes the people here don't really care about God. They are satisfied enough knowing that you believe and if that works for you, ok then, but it's not for me kind of attitude, if that makes sense at all. I was very encourage by this woman and her singing praises to the Lord out in the middle of a fairly populated street. How powerful to hear this and be reminded that God calls us to praise him in everything, everywhere, even if it may seem uncomfortable or awkward.
