That Jesus Music

A friend told me yesterday that one of my workmates doesn't particularly care for my music choice. Something about "when Barb opens, she listens to that Jesus music. I mean, it's okay, but really All Day??" Yeah, on my baking days I go into work, turn on our little stereo to K-Love and bebop around the bakery to It's A Good Morning and all sorts of stuff. I replied to my friend that it is my Jesus Music that keeps me in a good mood all day. It's my antidote to work. And the more I thought about it, the more it's true. I'd been told once and am fond of saying that Satan cannot be in the presence of Praise. For several years (and even still) Jered and I only listen to Jesus music on long car trips (ie: anything over three hours). We've found it to work against the bickering that can occur after several hours on the road. And although in my music collection only a relatively small percentage is Jesus music, somehow I don't ever care to listen to anything else while I'm at work. If I don't open, we'll listen to whatever the opener picked (country music on Wednesdays. . . took me a while to get used to that). But something about being up and at work at 6AM and the stress that usually precedes the reason for my needing to bake in the first place causes me to need a soul soother. So as much as I sometimes dog on Contemporary Christian Music, I will relent that there is certainly a time and place for it in my life. So thanks, K-Love, for reminding me that It's a Good Morning. . . even when it all seems to be falling apart.
