Sunset reflection in the oil spill

You know the feeling,

You may be doing something little, you may be doing nothing at all. It could be the sights, sounds or smells around you. But for some reason, whatever it may be, that something makes you extremely happy. And i'm not talking about just a little smile and chuckle. I mean the "can barely contain your laughter-going to smile so hard you rip your face in half" kind of happy. The kind of happy that makes you want to scream or dance or run.

For me, this experience happens very little... but when it does, it's just that much sweeter.

The thing that causes this for me is music. Something about crazy bass, heavy guitar and even heavier screaming just makes my skin tingle.

Being outside does this sometimes too (although to a lesser degree). Saskatchewan sunsets just blow me away, along with the massively beautiful mountains of the Rockies or the sun sparkling off the early morning frost(you know, the frost that completely covers a tree making it look like it was sprayed with glue and than dunked in glitter.

I love it, I wish i could experience it more.

But i was thinking earlier. Is this joy always from God? If the music i'm listening to isn't honoring to God... is the feeling from God?

I can just imagine seeing Jesus for the first time, and for some reason i think he is going to sing instead of talk.

I always heard that God is part of everything, that he is everywhere. Music is how i see God's beauty the clearest.

Music floats my boat!

It's called Dopamine. From a scientific perception.

Music, Skies, Friends, MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine).



From a Christian Perspective...

So much more...

I just recently listened to a sermon on Revelations chapter 1. It had tons to say about worshiping God and the many things in this world that God has put in here to remind us of his glory. If you wanna listen to it you can download it at www.marshillchurch.org and go in Media Library - to scroll over the menu tab in the top right corner - under sermons - books of the bible - revelations - and get the one called "Revelation 1: The Revelation of Jesus Christ" by Mark Driscoll
