A couple months ago as part of our MuteMath VIP package Jason and I traveled to Grand Rapids to sit on a tour bus and listen to the new album, Armisitce, before it was available to the public. One of the songs that stood out to me was Clipping. I remember distinctly looking at Jason and saying that this is a great song for a church to use leading into a sermon.
It remains one of my favorites on the album, not only because of the great music but because it resonates with me so much.
In the last year I’ve been coming to a point in my life where I just don’t feel like fighting people who disagree with my beliefs—religious, political, sports, whatever. I’m very happy in what I believe, and I’m very willing to listen and learn from others, I just feel no desire whatsoever to fight or argue with anyone, on anything.
I know how it happened. It was a combination of more church infighting, and “christians” acting like tools during the presidential election. I feel passionately about many subjects, but if you’re wanting to fight me on the subject, or threaten to (or actually) leave me because of it… good riddance.
I’m just not sure if that’s a good place to be or not. Seems like I should be more willing to fight for people or ideas. But honestly, I’m not. At least right now.
