Confession

At work we are allowed to wear headphones and listen to music. Background…at my second job I work with a lot of computer programmers and developers who apparently like to sit still for hours in front of a computer monitor writing in languages called “C#” and other such nonsense. As they do this, it seems to help the part of their brain that has an affinity for programming if they listen to music.  

Well, I love music. So I quickly adapted to this practice (as if there were any adaptation time required for me to listen to music on a non-stop, daily basis)…making sure my headphones are packed each day and ensuring my iPhone is stocked with whatever music I’m in the mood for.  

But lately I catch myself…

Like right now, for instance, I have had my headphones on for quite a while, bobbing my head up and down to a beat, and actually singing along (very softly).  ”To what?”, you might ask. Absolute silence. I never turned the music on, but apparently I sing so much in my head that I never noticed actual, out-loud music was not playing.  

“He has put a new song in my mouth [or head], praise to our God—many will see it and fear, and trust in the Lord.” -Psalm 40:3
