We all need some understanding: We all need love

"...Millions of faces
Are looking for movement
'Cause everything's stuck
And everything's frozen
And everyone's broken
And nobody moves
And everyone's scared
That the motion will never come

This is the incompletion
Stuck in a line

Love is the movement
Love is a revolution
This is redemption
We don't have to slow back down

The stars are alive
They dance to the music
Of the deepest emotion
And all of the world
Is singing in time
As the heavens are caving in
Mysterious ways
How God gave his life
To put motion inside my soul

It's bigger than cold religion
It's bigger than life

This is a revolution

Get up, get up
Love is moving you now "
_Switchfoot: Love is the Movement_



"Do me a favor
Would you tell me when to let go?
'Cause I think I'm holding on

Do me a favor
Would you tell me which way is up?
'Cause I don't know where I fit

Would you do it for me?
'Cause I'm playing for keeps

Tell me tomorrow has come
With open arms
If you say it's time to move on
Then I'll stop holding on
If you say that it's time for moving on
Time for moving on"
_Switchfoot: Playing for Keeps_

"This is your life
Are you who you want to be
This is your life
Is it everything you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger
And you had everything to lose
You had everything to lose"
_Switchfoot: This is Your Life_

I think some of this touches how I feel toward the church. Yeah yeah, I know its vague, but like any series of words, someone somewhere gets hit with the emotion and the words served their purpose. I don't ever cry because I'm a heartless bastard. Naw but, I just don't get all emotional cause I have an analytical brain and everything just simply is, no strings. Lately though I've actually found some material capable of pulling my heartstrings.

Apparently God is perfect love.
As a Christian, one should epitomize that quality.

Love has never been easy for me to understand. It may be the way that America has tainted it, maybe the way that I've experienced things disguised as love that let down, maybe just my unwillingness to accept that I'm no different than anyone else.
So the concept of love has little meaning to me in the way that most people view it. If I come out of my life and into something new, I'll see the way to love as I do it now; but the current definition is not applicable to me. Is that for everyone? To write their own definition of love?
If love is the movement, then I can feel it and know it's there. Thats where I want to be. [I'm thinking of action, not standing still, not being static; going somewhere, being with people, making a change for the better in the world around me; stirring up the situation, adding excitement, being involved with advancements, building on our future, moving from the past that haunts and hurts and hinders]
