That's a lyric from one of the songs on our latest EP that's soon to be released. I think that is one of the best ways to put this latest project. Every time I start thinking about what I have done as far as accomplishment or goals, I must always come back to that humble state and say "it's not about me." That's a challenge in itself. If I took credit for the things I've done, I would be spiritually bankrupt. And what a debt that would be.
One of the best ways of remembering things they say, is creating a word picture in your mind. In today's culture and recent history, some are already made. The word "twilight" doesn't just mean the period between the evening sunset and the dark nighttime. Add werewolf and vampire to the meaning. And if I mention 9/11, two tall burning buildings would probably come to mind. When remembering what life is about, it's definitely got to be Jesus, the God of all. And the word picture would be the cross. He gave the perfect example of the "it's not about me" attitude when he said in Luke 22:42 "saying, 'Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from me. Yet I want Your will to be done, not mine.'"
As I reflect this concept and way of thinking, I find that being human is better lived when living is giving up our lives. We want that to be displayed not only in our music but in our everyday lives, with our everyday opportunities to really live.
Remember to live,
-Jon
