I just finished making all my music related YouTube videos public again. I’m going to do a new music challenge. I gotta post something every 3 days! I’ve been in one of those perfectionist ruts for too long! It’s crazy that I made so many songs in one day. And the early Covid songs were done in a day or two as well.
I went to the park today to work on a song. I felt like nothing worked. It’ll be ok.
Work has been better. It’s completely fine when Dimitri isn’t there. I feel like it becomes chaotic and stressful when he arrives. He just makes things more difficult.
I booked yesterday off work. I went to meet more people for the volunteering thing. I’m gonna play guitar there on Wednesdays! And it’s amazing because the open-mic is right down the street. So I’ll perform there after.
I also got a library card yesterday. Today I took out I, Robot. It’s my first Isaac Asimov book. All the library stuff was free! I couldn’t believe it.
I was meditating Tuesday evening when I had the idea to do the music challenge. This idea suddenly flashed into my head to post every ‘third day’. Then I heard ‘the first song shall be named Third Day.’ But I was told to record and post it the very next day, which I realized was Wednesday, the third day of the week.
I filmed the b-roll on the way to the volunteering. I started googling the significance of the third-day in the bible. This is what I found.
Jesus Christ’s resurrection on the third day fulfills Old Testament predictions (Luke 24:46–47; 1 Corinthians 15:4), establishes him as the reigning King (Romans 1:4; Matthew 28:18), inaugurates the new creation (1 Corinthians 15:20, 23; 2 Corinthians 5:17), justifies the many (Romans 4:25), calls believers to walk in newness of life (Romans 6:4; Colossians 3:1), births a global mission (Matthew 28:19–20; John 20:19–22; Acts 1:8; Romans 1:16–17; Galatians 1:11–12), and supplies hope to all believers of their own resurrection (Romans 8:11; 1 Corinthians 15:43–44, 49; Philippians 3:20–21; Hebrews 9:27–28). It also should stressed to non-believers that they will indeed meet the heavenly Judge face-to-face (Daniel 12:2; Matthew 25:46; John 5:28–29).
I’m just realizing as I’m typing that I slept with a copy of the Bible next to me last night. I needed something to put my phone on. I grabbed a copy of the Bible from a shelf in the house.
As I’m typing this I also noticed that the headshot JPG I keep on the desktop is IMG_1333. I keep seeing threes!!
I love it when this stuff happens.
I felt like recording and posting that video yesterday was a sort of ceremonious thing.
I just realized that it’s March, the third month of the year!
