lyrics.

i didn't go to church this morning.

i woke up on time. ate my toast and orange. put on my makeup. picked out my dress. drove. parked in the parking lot. sat in my running car. then pulled out. drove home. washed off my makeup. took off my dress. and sat on my bed.

sometimes church isn't about a building.
sometimes all i need for church is words and music -two things that are such a major part of who i am. i think a lot of people don't understand that - that sometimes, a church building is the last thing a person needs and a quilt, open window and early morning air is perfect.

and so, my church consisted of my ipod and "sex God" the latest book i'm reading.
a really good book, mind you.

i won't go into the semantics as to why i didn't go to church - that would be a rather long blog concerning friends, connections, moving, etc. instead, i'll just tell you about my church service with relient k.

the thing about music is that i really feel it brings you closer to God. no matter if the song is intended to be "christian" or not - it can be spiritual.
the thing about relient k is, sometimes i'm not sure what the meaning of their songs are but i think what matters is what a song means to you more than what it meant to the writer.

which is why i'm not going to explain what these songs mean to me or even give you my favorite lines - no, you'll have to determine what they mean to you without my influence.

"there was no thief"
"let it all out"
"who i am hates who i've been"
