This week the new flat has just got internet and this means we can now numb our minds with useless information and stalk people on facebook… yesssssssss. Anyway it also means I get my dear Spotify back and now I can listen to my favorite music again. This morning’s song of choice as ‘first of the day’ was Man in the Mirror – Michael Jackson. While I was listening to the words of the song (along with the awesome music and key change) it got me thinking about how I live my life. I don’t know what MJ’s reason for writing the song (or possibly just singing the song), they are pretty powerful words.
“I'm Starting With The Man In The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change His Ways
And No Message Could Have Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World A Better Place
Take A Look At Yourself, And Then Make A Change”
I was chatting with a friend last night about the death of Michael Jackson and the reaction so many people had around the world. Amazing to see one man influence so many people and affect so many peoples’ lives. I wonder if there is a message to Christian leaders in these lyrics above. I have found myself far too often struggling with why something is not working properly at Christian Union and looking back on these problems almost every one of them I was setting a terrible example of what I really felt the event or activity was about. I’m really excited to be getting back to University in September and starting this new series on Colossians but even more excited to be feeling more ready to be leading in my actions as opposed to just my speech.
In other news I am currently working in a pub/restaurant called the Spylaw Tavern. It is a pretty fun job but the best part about it is free food if I’m working 6 hours or more. The haggis pie in the restaurant is actually to die for, it is huge, filled with haggis, comes with chips or potatoes, loads of vegetables and with pepper corn sauce. I think I have just described a small slice of heaven. Come visit if you fancy a nice meal.
In Christ
