Nowadays, I only listen to the radio on the rare occasions when I’m driving myself around. (We are a one-car family for now; when MFH drives, we listen to his iPod.) Usually I set it to the local Christian station. I tried listening to some country again yesterday, but it was all partying songs that I just don’t relate to. My favorite Christian band, thanks to MFH, is Waterdeep. But I never hear them on this Christian radio station. The station strives for a “positive message”, so its music tends to what I call the “happy happy Jesus happy” end of the spectrum. Gets annoying after a while. Waterdeep has some songs like that, but they also have many, many “life SUCKS, we need Jesus” songs, which are more often what I’m needing. There are plenty of psalms in the Bible with a similar theme: Woe is me, life is horrible, everyone is out to get me, BUT….God is still here.
