while i'm at it...

i've been listening to the derek webb album "stockholm syndrome" this week. the news about jaycee lee dugard had me thinking about how someone can form a bond with their captor, a condition labeled "stockholm syndrome". i was thinking about how sin does the same with us... we find ourselves agreeing with the lies and the atrocities simply so we can live another day... it's a coping mechanism. and so it reminded me that it's the title of derek webb's album, and i love it. i don't know for sure if that's where derek was going with his title, but regardless of that connection, i have enjoyed the songs. the lyrics are insightful and thought-provoking. i may not agree with all the lyrics, but i appreciate derek's honesty and boldness to bring his hot-issues into the limelight.
