Outcast

Kerrie Roberts is new on the music scene.  If by "new" I mean the past couple of years...and I do!  She's got a good voice and she will make a few albums.  Does she have sustainability in the big sea of talent?  Time will tell.  In the meantime we will enjoy her music. 
I really like this song because it should be true of every person who says they love and walk in God's ways.  Note that I said "it should be".  Unfortunately it is not.  But that's a different blog because that's a big soapbox for me to climb up on to!  Roberts sings about being an outcast, the right kind of one, in this world.  Go against the flow of culture and reach for the higher standard.  We aren't reaching for the higher standard, or any standard at all, when we blend in so seamlessly to the culture that nobody can tell if we love Jesus or not!  This song encourages Christians to be outcasts - be different, be Godly, be Holy, be sanctified (which means SET APART).  It isn't popular to be an outcast but who are we trying to win popularity points with?  The world and it's depravity or God and his call to Holiness?  We have to decide. 
As for me?  I choose to be an outcast, it's really the only way to live!  :)

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
