Plus I am ...a combination of all of those reasons. Plus I am prone to depression and I am very easily influenced by my enviroment. If a sad song came on the radio I could be depressed for hours. Then, at my last job the teacher I worked with was always playing a Christian radio station....only I didnt realize it because it wasnt the corny music I was used to, it was rock. So I figured I might as well give it a try...and the positive reaction in myself and the kids was instant. The only secular music I miss is my musicals. One day I will be able to balance those back into my life, but for now life is good.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137184010706286214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2058866614084160232.post-92079789037088796122010-02-22T16:43:44.926-08:002010-02-22T16:43:44.926-08:00as always your resolution is challenging and witty...as always your resolution is challenging and witty...but I have a silly question, and that is why no secular music?? <br />Is it just to avoid certain subject matter for the sake of your children, is it for the challenge to see if you can do it, or do you find all music other than spiritual to have no valuable purpose? <br />I understand certain lyric avoidance, but there are also a ton of choices that do not have to do with slapping a bitch or humping and lumping...<br />Have you ever listened to Marlo Thomas' "Free To Be" series?? I nannied over the summer and the child adored the classic children's singalong.<br />I am just curious where this actually stimulated and what objective you aspire to achieve at the end of the journey without popular radio...<br />and I guess this means no Phantom Planet?? lol.Ashleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2058866614084160232.post-20833082201770814422010-02-08T19:58:03.669-08:002010-02-08T19:58:03.669-08:00LOL!!
