To Skate

Man I love skateboarding.  And I don’t mean to insinuate that I am some great skater or something, that is not AT ALL the case. 

I’ve only really tried to push myself in skateboarding, and more recently longboarding, a handful of times.  But, even if life or fear or injury pushes me away from it for some time personally, I have and always will think that the ART of skateboarding is beautiful and worthy of the upmost respect.

People that create on a board are artists of the highest caliber, whether or not the world gives them that credit.  

I hope my current training season grows into a lifelong habit of learning, strengthening, and perserverance. 

I’m not naturally adept at the sport, nor am I courageous in great amount.  But I want to see how far I can go while growing new skills and friendships to boot.

The Scene: Music, Both Friend and Foe

The music scene is such an interesting beast.

It's a big mesh of bands that either pour their hearts out to, sometimes, empty rooms and bands that get frustrated because they feel the world owes them something.

In the same way, many fans flock to every show they can, regardless of relationship with the artists at a show, just to support the community. While other groups support bands from afar with thoughts and prayers because of an inability or lack of desire to make a personal journey to a concert.

But it's all really wonderful.

Like a big, messed-up family.

Music rocks.

God has a plan and such a massive opportunity to show love, grace, and salvation in the music community.

Pray for me.  Pray that I am an agent of the Holy Spirit's will for the scene in all that I do, that I would not hinder God's will.
