Days of Carnival

Every year during these days we avoid going out of the house. For 10 straight days there is a constant noise coming from two blocks away. If you can imagine a marching band with trumpets, tubas, trombones and drums, this is the sound you would here but magnified by 100. If you walk down the street you can not pick out one particular song. There is 20 to 30 different little bands that are all competing for the attention of those who are drinking beer and tequila. Literally 10 days of partying and getting drunk. From our house we hear the noise but is often covered by the event that takes place in the bull ring. Everyday there is at least two or three events through out the day. Different bands while matadors (bull fighters) face head-to-head with big bulls.
    Yesterday I was doing some work on the house and I decided to turn on some music to try to cover up the noise. It was then I started listening to Chris Tomlin's cd "If our God is for us". I heard one song and it was like drinking a cup of cold water on a hot day. It was clear that even though we are not walking through the crowds of people the effects are still there. As I listen more all else started to fade away. I began to focus on God and how much we need Him. We are blessed to know the truth. The truth that brings us to a holy and righteous God who did not spare His own Son to give us salvation. Oh how much I need Him today. Have a great day! Off to run some errands this morning before the streets are inpassable.
