Gleek

Ok I have a confession to make... I am a total GLEEK. I first watched the show with my cousins a year and half ago at their house, I thought it was going to be majorly corny but LOVED it and have watched it ever since. I have been envious of my cousin Kelsey who has been rocking out to the 4th CD now since Christmas, stupid I know because I could have just gotten one myself. Finally yesterday I broke down and bought it... LOVE IT! I have been cruising around town with my windows down thinking I am something pretty stinking cool now.



Aside from their awesome voices I love the way the show takes old or new songs and makes them very different from the originals. This morning I was driving to work and the song  One of Us came on... it was featured on the Glee episode with Sue and her mentally impaired sister. This episode touched me for many reasons but I never paid attention to the song. I never liked the original version of this song, I always thought it was poking fun. The Glee version allows you to hear the lyrics so vividly that I was for the first time impacted by this song this morning. I never expected to be singing "God is good, God is great" listening to glee.

"What if God was one of us , Just a stranger on the bus, trying to make his way home, back up to Heaven all alone." I began to think, well God was one of us, he sent his son to walk among us and be of the flesh just like we are and he was crucified. I wondered if this day in age Jesus was sent to walk among us, and teach us the good news, would we believe him?

Having been raised in the Church of Christ I have always had the belief in Jesus as my savior and the bible to strengthen my walk, but what if we didn't have any of that to guide us. Sadly I am sure that if Jesus was testifying the same things now he did back then he would be rediculed just as he was and sacrificed as a false prophet.

Just a glimpse into my thought process this Thursday morning.
