I love KLove.  I mean, I love it.  It's a national Christian radio station (check it out at klove.com and find a station! it's worth it.) and they're doing a challenge where you have to listen to Christian music ONLY for 30 days.  No cheating.  The goal is to see if it changes your life.  When I told my hubby that I was doing this, he laughed and asked how that's any different at all from what I already do.
It's so wonderful to listen to good music every day that isn't going to make me sad.  The DJs are funny.  Actual funny DJs who aren't talking about gross things or illegal things or things that make me nervous.  They're laughing about things that I laugh at; like the other day when they were having people call in and tell how their body reacts when they get nervous.  One girl said she actually snorts.  Randomly.  And she demonstrated.  On Mondays the morning folks have Make a Difference Monday every week when people call in about how someone has made a positive difference in their life, or if they've done something to help someone else.  Wednesdays are Wow God Wednesdays where people call and tell their stories about how God has come through in their lives in ways that make your jaw drop. 
I mean, come on.  There's no way I'd turn the channel from THAT and go to... grossness.  Don't even get me started.
So I didn't consider myself as really attached to this challenge thing until today, when I was in a restaurant where they were playing country music.  I laughed at the "heart felt" videos, and really found myself getting impatient with the music.  It had no message.  No feeling. It made my face smile for a minute, but  I got bored quickly.  Then, we went to another place and I heard an old song that I loooooove, and sang along with as long as we were in the store.  It was in my head for a while.  Didn't like it.
So I went back to my little desk and turned on my little radio and heard a song that made my heart smile, not just my face.
Much better. :-)
