Welcome to heartbreak

I like some of Kanye's music. I'm not a big fan of his ego and disagree with most of his subject matter. However, recently one of his songs really hit me.

Welcome to Heartbreak is pretty much him sharing how, despite his riches and fame, he still feels empty and lonely. Here are some of the words:

My friend showed me pictures of his kids
And all I could show him was pictures of my cribs
He said his daughter got a brand new report card
And all I got was a brand new sports car

Dad cracked a joke, all the kids laughed
But I couldn't hear him all the way in first class
Chased the good life my whole life long
Look back on my life and my life gone
Where did I go wrong?

My God, sister getting married by the lake
But I couldn't figure out who I'd wanna take
Bad enough that I showed up late
I had to leave before they even cut the cake
Welcome to heartbreak...

Matthew 16:26 - What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?

Everything we see around us gloryfies excess riches, loose sex, and power. Yet, none of these things complete us because we are made with a longing that can only be filled in Christ.

Rappers glorify Scarface, the Godfather, etc. Yet they forget that the story never has a happy ending. Today's music, TV shows & movies, promote sleeping with whoever you choose, but ignore the wounds that come from these relationships and mistakes, nevermind the growing rate of teenage pregnancy & STD's.

In case you weren't aware, the world is wrong. Believing its lies will get you nowhere. Praise God for the truth.

Matthew 16:19-21 - Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

One Year

Today I give thanks to God for the memory of the most special day of my life. On April 5, 2008, I was blessed to marry Sarah Lindsey.
