Do you see what I see?

During my put-off-homework-and-studying-because-I-am-lazy browsing of YouTube, I happened across this video. Entitled "Best USA National Anthem Ever," it caught my eye, and I definitely benefited from watching it. Before you read this post, I suggest you watch it here.
As many who watched the video commented, you may also be thinking "Lauren, that wasn't that great. Sure, it was pretty good, but Whitney Houston's National Anthem was incredibly powerful, (watch here) and there are so many other great singers that have performed amazingly." One responding to those comments on YouTube expressed my exact sentiments. This rendition of our nation's anthem is the best because those singing it are not trying to draw attention to themselves. The choirs represent all branches of our nation's military, and they are singing the anthem with respect and reverence for our country, which is the song's purpose. They present it straightforwardly, not taking the chance to show off their vocal talents like so many artists do when given the chance to sing the Star-Spangled Banner. In my opinion, who better to sing our anthem, describing the "land of the free and the home of the brave," than those brave people serving or preparing to serve in our Armed Forces? Those very brave people who fight to defend our country? Surely, they understand what they are singing and what they are singing it for. America! Do you see? God Bless America!

The Awakening...

Hey! If you followed this blog before, you may have noticed something...I haven't posted in...a long time. However, I have awakened from my life of doing nothing but school, and decided to start up the blog again! Which, of course, means a whole new name and look. I'm working on the look. Anyways, I'm hoping to update much more often. I have several ideas lined up, including "Tebowing vs. Praying," discussion of the video "Why I Hate Religion, not Jesus," discussion of the original "We Are the World for Africa" and the "We Are the World 25 for Haiti" videos, as well as discussion of some Bible verses that have had an incredible effect on me during my 3 months of silence.
I hope you can enjoy! Tomorrow I will begin with telling you the inspiration for my new blog title, "Spontaneous Me." It may not be what you expect. If this is your first time reading the blog and you wish to follow, you may read the other posts if you wish, but I'm not sure if it is worth it. I suppose you would be the judge of that, wouldn't you?
Goodnight, world!
