I’m “working” at the library right now, but its so slow that I’ve checked out one book in the three hours I’ve been here. That’s okay though. I’m in the mood to blog. And I’ve got nothing but time…and Mary Poppins. *sigh…*
My co-worker is playing the Mary Poppins soundtrack from the broadway show she saw last night. She said it was great. I concur.
It’s just funny though, because when I sat down, I was intent on doing some “serious” blogging. You know, stuff that matters. But its hard to feel stoic when “Spoonful of Sugar” is the music you write to. I feel like I should be writing about the mirgatory patterns of unicorns, fuzzy catepillars, or shiny things.
I think it’s funny how much we are influenced by our surroundings. This isn’t about nature vs. nurture as much as it is about attention span! Although it’s hard for me to picture Jesus turning over temple tables while Roman peace keepers sing “Spoonful of Sugar,” I think he could if he had to.
One of the things I love about Jesus the most, is that while he was aware of his surroundings, he wasn’t controlled by them. Instead, he brought his purpose into foreign situations. And the results speak for themselves.
I like these kinds of thoughts. It just shows me that the silly and seemingly most unrelated occurences in life can teach us about the way He changed His world.
