I wanted to quickly share a short story:
A while back I dropped my ipod in the toilet. Let me explain how this happened. One night, I have been running back and forth to the toilet. I have been using my headlight for these trips. The toilet is right outside of our house. I was in my bedroom preparing myself to go and get ready to use the toilet. But when I went to turn on my headlight, the light bulb blew. However, during this time I have been listening to my ipod and I knew that it had a light on it. With pressure gearing me to the toilet and with no other flashlights to be found at this time it was my only option. I went into the toilet area…did what I had to do. But as I was finishing up holding my ipod as a light it slipped from my hands. As the ipod was literally dangling from the ear bud string over the hole, I went to reach for the ipod, but it was too late. My sudden twitch in an attempt to save the ipod was what caused the downfall. And yes, the fall was deep…about 50-75 feet to the ground. It was lost forever, but after it happened there were no sorrows. As crazy as it might sound, I was more joyful after the incident, than I was before. I was realizing that although music is great and wonderful to listen too, it is not what gives me pure joy in this world. It truly comes down to seeking God. I look back at the situation and laugh. Even without the music I have been lead to times of worship.
