I wrote a song with some lyrics that someone might not like. It's interesting how it effects me as the artist and singer. I'm nervous that I might not appeal to everyone! And that's crazy! Of course, not everyone will like it! And some people will brandish me evil. Should I hold back? Should I lighten the mood of the song? Change some words? The whole point of the song is to maybe think a little, but it gets to me. Will I be struck down by lightning? I doubt it, but I could and someone would say "I told you so!" I want to be provocative, but it's much easier to be funny. Someone can laugh at you and walk away and that doesn't matter. But if someone takes you serious, you have to be prepared. What's next? What if it gets deeper than a "how are you?"?

Imagine you are Adam on your first day of work. And your boss put you in charge, but didn’t give you directions. Hi Adam, You are in charge of my greenhouse. Adam: ah okay God: I’ll be back. Adam: ahh okay And that’s the instructions. Could you imagine showing up for your first day of work and not getting any instructions, without getting a job description, without anything!? Then instead of giving instructions later on, God just says “you need help.” Still no instructions except don’t eat the apple!” Adam: ahhh Okay Fast forward to the present. Has God giving any better directions? Maybe, I don’t know. Sort of, but it’s all a bit confusing. If you believe one group of people, yes. But then that means this other group of people are wrong, and then another group is wrong…if you are the boss, wouldn’t you give better instructions? Imagine teaching your 6 year old how to drive a car? Err…let’s not. That’s scary. But it is up to you to have faith through your free wil...
