Music, for many people, is a captivating and liberating way to express emotions and feelings in such a way that words and actions simply cannot. Music is a universal language that knows no ethnic or religious barriers, does not discriminate age or gender or social status, and does not judge by the color of a person’s skin. People all across the globe can connect in a way through music that is virtually impossible by any other means. Though we are all individuals and unique human beings with our own distinct taste and style, music holds the capability of bringing all different sorts of people together. There is virtually no limit to the use and functionality of music, as there is music available for essentially every single human emotion and sentiment. No matter what the occasion, where the environment, or how the mood feels, there is music for practically any and every situation. The genres of music are limitless, and the rich sounds and emotions that music can evoke can be a powerful outlet for an individual to express what cannot be expressed through words or actions.

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010Christian Movie Review
Tuesday, May 4th, 2010There are two movies that Christians have been buzzing about so far, this year. The first movie that Christians are finding themselves in discussion about is the latest Leonardo DiCaprio film under the direction of Martin Scorsese, Shutter Island. Many Christians are talking about this particular movie, not only because it was one of the biggest films of the season, but also due to the messages that are given off in the film. Many of those within the Christian community were impressed with the complexity of the film. The Christian community is known for finding favor in those things that provoke its community to think. Many within the Christian community feel as though we get so caught up in our daily routines, that we do not take the opportunity to step back and really assess life as they know it. It is safe to say that the movie, Shutter Island, provoked such thoughts.
