"To much television!"

That was something my mom used to say when i was a kid. I was never one of those kids who just went outside and played in dirt until high school came along. My dirt phase actually started when i was in high school. But nevertheless my past month has been chalk full of t.v. Part of this is because during the day i have nothing better to do.... well that's a lie, i do but i choose instead to indulge myself in my new favorite t.v. show SCRUBS!

I love that show, let me just tell you. I think their are so many funny parts in it and i love all the characters and how they have developed them but most importantly they have some really thought provoking and ethical scenarios that happen at the end. They always make me think and really question my own life.

Some of the stuff i really have been thinking about lately is comfort and my mark. Still sitting on 2 Corinthians 1 which talks about God's comfort and how in our struggle God comforts us and how we in turn comfort others. This is a commandment, just as much as "love your neighbor". It may not be implied in that verse as a command, "who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. (vs.4) But it's is defiantly a part of love your neighbor or love your enemy. But what I have been thinking about is have i done that. Because at the heart of what I want and desire out of life is to help others. If i do nothing other than be a light to those around me, and if people know that Drew is their to talk to, to help, to comfort and encourage, then i feel complete. That is the minimum of what I want to be for people and if I can't, then I really think something is horribly wrong. So that's what I want to be, if you need anything, I want to be that guy to be their and help.


Andrew Music Exchange:

This weeks musician for the week is Ray Lamontagne. He is very folksy and has an amazing voice. My favorite songs are "Three More Days" and "Trouble", but all on his myspace are excellent. I would highly recommend his newest CD, "Till the Sun Turns Black", it is a newer look on music for him but has some great songs.
