American Idol Concert

Ok…so it’s been a while since I last blogged. Bottom line - I don’t really care for this but every know and then I think of someone worth writing.
Last night Julie and I took Hayden to the American Idol Concert at Jobing.com arena in Glendale. We went last year too so it was fun to repeat. The concert was “good” better than last year I thought. Michael Johns is still the bomb –he did really well last night too. It was fun too because it was the first show/concert of their tour. There were quite a few nerves erupting and a bunch of dumb/awkward/I don’t know what to say things said between songs too.
But…when a girl was singing she made an interesting comment in between songs. The comment struck me at the time but because of everything going on I couldn’t process it until today. She said, “follow your heart and it will always tell you the right way to go.” I might have a word or two wrong but that’s what she said.
First of all let me say, I’m a big believer in listening to your heart. I think it does tell us a lot. But will following my heart always lead me in the right direction? I don’t think so. I mean this statement is based in a relativistic culture that says, “truth (what it right) is determined by your own experience, society, feelings (heart). If I feel in my heart I want to hurt someone because they hurt me, or I deserve what that person has so I’m going to be jealous or envious or even take it, is my heart leading me in the right direction? I think my heart (the center of my mind, emotions & will) deceives me and ironically leads me into the exact opposite direction of what is right.
What really pisses me off…12,000 people heard “follow your heart it won’t let you down.”
Jeremiahs take on it –“the heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?” Thank God he can redeem it, restore it and make it alive and well.
