Teenage Dream?

As I rode down the rode to and from Cairo, Ga this past weekend I listened to the radio. Most of you know I love music! All types and beats! I don't know words like my old roomies Crystal and Kim, but I know what I like and what I don't.... I have heard Teenage Dream by Katy Perry for weeks now, but I became disgusted by it even more...

Let's go through the Lyrics Shall we?!

You think I'm pretty
Without any make-up on
You think I'm funny
When I tell the puch line wrong
I know you get me
So I'll let my walls come down, down
(I actually like this part... Seriously, what girl doesn't like a playful guy who likes her for who she is even without her make-up on?!)

Before you met me
I was a wreck
But things were kinda heavy
You brought me to life
Now every February
You'll be my valentine, valentine


Let's go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
You and I
We'll be young forever
(Okay Seriously?!?! No regrets? C'mon Katy! You will have regrets! If and when you break up the regrets will become so hard that you just want to leave everything! I get it... you think it's just love... it won't be JUST love because it's probably NOT love! It is a strong emotion, but probably not love... at least not the love you will receive later on in life!)
You make me
Feel like
I'm living a Teenage Dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's runaway
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
(Oh to be living in a Teenage Dream again... where we just had each other are wanted to run away... but if you had run away then life would not have been how it is now and I would never had learned the amazing life and spiritual lessons! Running away is not the answer because it doesn't free us, but enslaves us by leaving us trapped when things go wrong!)
My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
(I love this verse! The beginning of a relationship when the first touch gives you butterflies! The look that takes your breath away! OOooo to have that again!)
We drove to Cali
And got drunk on the beach
Got a motel and
Built a fort out of sheets
I finally found you
My missing puzzle piece
I'm complete
(I'm sorry, but when was the last time a teenager was allowed to drive to cali and rent a hotel room?! Hate to bust your bubble, but you aren't old enough to do so.... Basically this can't happen, but I thought this song was called Teenage Dream NOT 20 something dream?! Am I missing something? Nope, what is really going on is that with out you realizing it this song is making you think that this is what normal teenagers do when in actuality teens can't do this, it makes you think you are older than you really are.)
*Chorus*


I might get your heart racing
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight


Let you put your hands on me
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
(Sex again Really?! Our teenage years are not about just having sex... We should be preparing for the rest of our lives... Spiritually, Mentally, and with our purity in mind. If we really cared about our purity would we listen to things like this?! That's right, I became UBER convicted listening to this because I wanted to just dance and sing at the top of my lungs about having underaged sex and how GREAT it is, but in reality it's awful and you feel guilty for the rest of your life....)

*Chorus*
So, how about it, let's listen to things that help us grow in Christ and keep our minds on pure and Holy things instead of those songs that make us long for the things of the world.... Meditate and Read this verse... BE TRANSFORMED TODAY!!


Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
