jon foreman

i have a whole batch of favorite bands and artists
their music i mean

i've never really had a favorite korean tv star or... singer.. or whatevs

but jon foreman!! (who has nothing to do with the previous two anyways)



yeah some of the acoustics are beautiful and switchfoot is a renowned band, but i could name many other bands/artists that i would rather listen to merely for ear candy
but what really attracts? no... not in that way... me to this person are his words

i guess you could say i admire him? no... not exactly in that way either...

okay. you could say that when i listen to his songs, read his lyrics, i feel like he took the words out of my mouth. no... not that either... haha wow. because i don't have the ability to wove words together like that.

more like... 'that's exactly what i want to say. what i want to express but can't find the words'
and his thoughts expressed and views that i can see through the lyrics, sometimes in glimpses, sometimes so strongly expressed, i find myself relating so much

i guess it could be a narcisstic thing. haha... i love jon foreman because i feel like he read my mind? i love jon foreman because he knows just the right words and the right amount of words? i love jon foreman because i feel like he shares the same views with me?



but what's wrong with empathy... a lot of times people can't help being drawn to it, even dragged around because of it. seeking after it.

yeah. it's always different though when i examine my own self




this letter that i found in this book by a 15 year old boy fighting to end human trafficking made me :) (haha i can't find the right word.) jon foreman even more

(okay... what is wrong with this sentence? isn't this ridiculous that i am admiring the letter by jon foreman to this kid more than i am digging into this book that this amazing boy wrote? ... but that will change once i read the book, haven't had the chance to yet...:l)





Howdy friend!
I'm rooting for you, Zach. Trust only the one who empowers you to think and speak and breathe differently than the headlines. He who created the foundations of the world is still creating. His eyes are on the oppressed and the broken.
You've written a book. And yet, because words are so disposable in our culture your elders will say, "what can words do? Change never happens! What can be done!"
Prove them wrong, Zach. Tell the story with your life.
