I live. I am human. I am a teenager. I am a guy. I live for something greater. I struggle with the basics. I groan at the usual. But I keep living to do what has been asked of me.
You can call me Speedy.
I'm here to reach out to the ones I love and care for. Once in a while I'll get sentimental, or deep, and probably blog something like it.
My life has simple aims, and a difficult path to them. I deal with it the best I can.
I am Speedy. I am Christian, but do not fear me, for I will love you regardless. I guess this is the chance for anyone who cares, to see the depths of my mind, and everything it holds, dark or bright. Happy or sad.
Read my thoughts or leave them, they are yours to criticize.

so after staring at the listing of bands that’ll be playing here, I recognized there are FIVE bands going… not just one… who are awesome Christian (or close to) metal bands… which makes me want to go even more… >_<  I wonder if I can convince my parents to buy me tickets to Warped too since

For Today

Is this idolatry?

What about this?

Is this idolatry?

Even this?

Honest question.  Is it? O_O

I feel that sometimes (and I’m guilty of this as well) that we place a greater importance over the band than we do our own faith.  I can sit there and pound my head to all the Christian metal I can… I can literally go all day… but then… it’s getting to a point now where it’s just music.  Do I actually act on my faith like I should? Do I get into my God and his word?

No.

I have no problem getting into the band.  Checking for new albums, downloading new songs, and seeing where they’re playing next. 
But then… I rarely find myself checking out my God and where he is in my life and the lives of others…

So is this idolatry? Or just poor focus?
