A Bad Country Song

Many moons ago, I had a college Speech professor who made everyone in the class answer a "question of the day" before we could move on to that day's lecture/activities. I always thought that hearing all of the different answers was fairly interesting.

The only question I remember after all this time is, "If you had to write a love song, what would you call it?". I don't remember the other answers, even though I recall most of us thinking that the married couple in our class got kind of mushy. However, I do remember my answer. 

My love song would be entitled, "Romance In A Blender". I do not have a way of explaining that now. You just had to be part of my life at that time to "get it". I never specified whether the song would be rock-n-roll, pop, rap, etc. I just knew the name.

For the sake of any small children around, I will not go into specifics on how my life after college began to resemble a very bad country/western song. In so many ways, I was the woman who did some poor ol' cowboy wrong. My redemption song would not be sung for a very long time, even though I had accepted Christ into my life as a young girl. 

I don't actually remember what triggered these memories today, but as I was thinking about it all, I wondered what the current title for a song about my life might be. This is what I came up with: "Some Families Are Blended, But We're Pureed". 

Do you have a song title that would describe part of your life? Please do share.

  1. First, this made me chuckle. Romance in a Blender? I dig it. Second it made me think... Not quite sure what my love song title would be-- perhaps "Because the Army told us to" or "Not sure where we are going but we went with Jesus." (Hmm... that's probably too long ;-)

    Thanks for this post-- it blessed me!

  2. What an interesting thought! I like the challenge. I think my song these days might be called, "Let it go, and let God."

  5. Hey, friend,
    Thinking of you!

    So, I love music, and I could go so many directions with this...Hmmm, what about, "Wandering feet, wandering heart". Ohhh, yeah. We've moved a lot and my heart is always jumping from this to that.

    Now, this is no "Romance in a Blender" but you know...

    Happy Wednesday.
