My office is just down the hall from our Creative Arts suite. Every once in a while about this time I start to get serenaded. First let me clarify, I think the music at WRC is the best in Atlanta. You cannot get it too loud (if it’s too loud, you’re too old). I love it when it’s rockin, a ballad or two is alright once in a while, but I want to rock it out most of the time. But………..sometimes they record and when they record some times the music gets repetitive, redundant, and repeats itself. Last Easter I got the same line of one song for about 4 hours straight, it was somewhat like chinese water torture.

What voices do you allow to speak into your life? We all need someone that can speak into our lives, professionally and personally. I know too many pastors that only want to hear what they want to hear. And if they hear something different then the other person: doesn’t understand my (our) situation, hasn’t grown anything, hasn’t led anything, etc. etc.

Sometimes from the most unexpected places God has spoken to me. I don’t always want to hear it, accept it, or embrace it, but sometimes I need to hear it anyway. Who’s speaking but you’re not listening. That is probably says more about you than the ones you are listening too. Make sure you’re not listening for the right reasons.
