This morning while driving to work I was listening to the song Viva la Vida by Coldplay. I thought it was very apropos about my life. Funny how songs, even if they are secular speak about many truths. This song as I heard it brought to me so many memories, so many emotions of the past, some good, many bad.
Before totally accepting Christ I had become everything--I was an animal, peace and human rights activist, an environmentalist, community organizer---and exceptional butt kicker of injustices everywhere, or so I thought. The only thing I never did was pimp or sell drugs. (Thank God.) And when I was turning 27 years old or so, it all came to an end when I confronted a group of socialists. They wanted to stop me from making a public speech were I was going to make many references about Jesus Christ. I was not going to compromise Christ for anyone, including them! Karl Marx and his satanic minions could go back where they came from. I hope to write about my past life in future posts and as a Christian male how I came back to Christ. For now review, enjoy the song and its melodious lyrics.
