Opera. and the other Finer things of Life.

So, as the first post, I thought that I should write about something momentous... but, this really isn't. It's just an experience that I had today and decided to share.
Opera.
I went to a friend of a friend's senior recital tonight and it was pretty great.
The first thing that I thought was, woah, this is intense singing. Although, I wouldn't classify it as the best.
Not that she wasn't an exceptional singer, she was. 
As I was sitting there I was thinking, Opera! What a strange and yet wonderful noise! but, I was also wondering if my ears were beginning to bleed or if I was entering into the inner sanctum of enlightenment while my soul was beginning come to life! Experiencing that kind of raw talent coupled with a piano and a very timed page turner was amazing and yet saddening; it made me think of all of the things that technology has marred, and all the things that it will continue to change... newspapers, paperback books, childhoods filled with roaming the woods and playing on jungle gyms...
But!
Jesus is Lord, and for that I am grateful.
So, it could be worse...
I could have no arms. and still have to write this post...
