Journal Entry from February 2005
I really never know what to say to anyone. I speak and something comes out. But what does come out is so important as Christ said. If I live right, pray and focus on Him and not me. Abandon me. Prisoner/slave for the kingdom of God. Abandon self. Who or what do you live for, if not for Him? You’ve been saying it and saying it. You are created to worship. You worship in many ways, but you’re always serving. Serve God serve others.
What does U2 do? They blur the line between secular and Christian music. And the popular culture doesn’t even realize U2’s conscious effort. They take the words and use them in their way, as pop culture is a use [glean from it what you think it means to you] and dispose mentality. But U2’s lyrics are pure and right and good. They engage the secular world in worship as the secular world does what it does. They’re a high fast moving spy plane.
Why have I pondered this so much lately? Perhaps I will write in that way. Perhaps that’s the way I’ve already been writing without realizing it. However, if that’s what I do, realizing it can be a useful tool. Write what you know as God wants it, and be able to recognize it when it’s there. Pray for that. You know the world too well. You must know God more, thus revealing Him within you. Use the tools as tools around you. You know what I mean. There is a right way.

"You know the world too well" What do you mean by this? If god is everywhere at once then he is in the world, and if the world is his creation then he put himself into the world... either way how can we know the world too well?
Can't you know the artist better by studying his work?

I believe you can see the the beauty of the creator in the creation, and that beauty is everlasting to us. However, God is in spirit and people, where he is not stagnant but active and moving. But the prince of darkness raoms about, and I believe those powers to drive people, "They know not what they do."
When I say the world, I mean those things of the world that I am too weak to control my self against, yet. The world is A-moral, but it's not vacant.
