Last night I was in class, and we were talking about what kind of music we like. We were practicing grammar forms of using infinitives or gerunds appropriately after certain verbs such as like, love, don't mind, can't stand, etc., and so I prompted the question, and the students answered and discussed. One of the students then threw the question back at me, and I said that I like listening to Christian music.
I had all of their attention, and I explained how the Christian music is uplifting, as the music is talking about how awesome God is and how He helps us, instead of a lot of the secular music which is about how someone is mad at their boyfriend, or cheating, or how they bought awesome shoes the other day. I like listening to music that will make me feel good. Then I also told them that I like to listen to Spanish and Chinese music as well, but that Christian is usually my favorite.
One of my students told me that she also enjoys listening to Christian music, and some of the others just listened intently. It was nice to be able to talk with them about it. Thank God for the opening!
