Why Is “Christian” Music So Awful?

Agreed. And speaking of mortality, now that I'm well up into my 60s, my physical condition isn't so hot any more; injuries that I got while in the service are taking their toll on me. My back gives me pain 24/7/365, and my days are usually split into equal shares of good days (when I feel pretty good) and bad days (when I feel so lousy I don't want to leave my chair, let alone the house). I know my time is limited; if I live to be as old as my father when he died, I will depart this mortal coil in less than ten years.....but, my older sister is still going strong, so who knows?



Usually when I'm driving by myself, I'm either praying the Rosary, or I have Sirius satellite radio on, and I switch back and forth between various oldies channels, from the 1940s to the 1980s. Today's music leaves everything to be desired, I'm afraid.

I got my hair cut today and my stylist and I were talking about how good the music is there, at the salon. It’s almost all older stuff. 70’s and 80’s.

I first came here back in 2003 and I saw your name. Back then it had our ages next to our names. Yours said 42, and I thought that sounded mature, not old just more dignified as I was not yet 40. Now we are both over 60. Amazing how fast 23 years goes by
God has blessed me with a wonderful job but it can be demanding. In my 20s I could stay up sometimes for 40hrs because I had to work night shifts and go to school, now I occasionally have to be up 24hrs. It takes its toll. I’d like to work another 18 yrs but God may have other plans
Our body falls apart and our time grows shorter
A life that once seemed so long now may end at any time. My parents passed away at 82 for my mother and 85 for my father. Feels like the fright train from Back to the future iii 90 miles an hour off an unfinished bridge. The quote was It will be a spectacular wreck. No need to scare me about end of days. I can see them coming
There is no sane choice but to stay close to God in the sacraments. My favorite hymn at this point is wake, awake by the Woodstock Jesuit singers

Rejoice the King is near
Our praises He will hear
But we must be prepared to see
The brightness of Eternity

Yes, but I won’t go into detail. It’s too painful for me.
