Fixing all things broken

My macbook suddenly broke Friday. I came back from class and it simply couldn't find it's hard drive. So I immediately got on the phone... and the Apple people were so helpful! I drove to Charlotte yesterday to drop off my macbook and the people in the store were even more helpful! They are going to take care of all of it and because I am still under warranty and everything, it is all free! For now, for this week I am bumming computers from labs, friends and such. I can't wait to get it back!!!
This whole church thing has gotten me thinking. Don't get me wrong, I am not investing myself in some indiscriminate diety. I have been on scholarship at First Baptist Church in Asheville to sing. They are a really progressive church with an open viewpoint about everyone's journey. They are really accepting. Anyway, the service today really opened up my eyes. I don't think it had anything to do with what the pastor was saying, but I did get to just think. So while I sat, I thought that I really need to embrace the love of my surroundings. I have a lot of friends, and I don't say that boastful. It is just to say that I am really lucky, and is time that I start appreciating all of the good vibes and love that I get from them. I really need to start opening myself to love. I also need to start listening to my conscious more. I need to start focusing my energy on positive things and keep that inward perspective available. I need to keep it more than available, I need to use it often!
I am a lucky guy. I don't need a relationship, a show, or other material things to prove that. I have exactly what I need. We all have exactly what we need. I have to start accepting that. I have to start accepting what the universe gives me, because it is what I need.
For the video of the day, it is a tough choice. To be honest, there were a lot of videos posted this week what with Scott Alan's concert, and some recently found youtube videos.
But I had to go with what I am singing in church next week. I am singing a piece from Haydn's Creation, "The Heavens are Telling the Glory of God". I think it is really going to be really gorgeous! I am stoked!
