Secular things

There are two sides of me. My past,(as an unsaved person) and my present (as a saved woman),but I'm still one person. In the past..I was a mega 80's rocker chic. Big hair,Bon Jovi lover kind of girl. I was wild, hung with the wild kids, and did all the wild kinds of things. Soo..when I hear that kind of music,a part of me slips into the past,and I get too caught up in it. I start remembering the days, the summers, the fun, The parties,ect. And the hard part is,I like it... way to much.

So when the topic of secular things come up, I become passionate about getting rid of it all. I'm an anti-secular person. I just don't see the point of surrounding yourself with things that don't benefit you or others in a kingdom kind of way.

I'm like this with:
Books
Music
Movies
Tv

But I've noticed that maybe I'm kind of extreme in this way. I haven't met anyone really who is like me. So, I give a little. I will go to the movies with the family and friends, I'll listen to the secular music that my husband has on his playlist. I've read secular non-fiction books. But really if I had my way, I would throw all those things out and not do any of it. But then again, I wouldn't have nothing in common with a lot of people. And I would probably be looked at as someone who's legalistic. But you know, I'm not. I know 100% that no amount of good doing would save me. It's Christ Alone only. It's just that I hate being reminded of the things I did during that time when I hated Christ. Why surround myself, and enjoy parts of my life when I was in rebellion? Didn't Christ set me free from all that stuff? It's more out of Love and respect towards him, in what he set me free from, that makes me not want to listen or do secular things. It's out of love not duty. It's kind of hard to explain.

Anyways, I bring this up because last night I had alot of fun listening to my husbands playlist.We listen to music, chatted about the good o'l days. We also listen to Christian music too. But you know..Today,I just feel kind of heavy hearted about it, and wish I didn't have to do that, in that kind of setting. But, I did love spending time with my husband. And I did enjoyed listening to his laugh, his singing, and seeing him rock out to some of his favorite songs. He was fun to hangout with.
He's cool like that :) ya know.

Anyways, just some things on my heart and mind.
