superpowers
ah...back in the day I was a true FIF fan!
If you don't/didn't know who FIF is (actually, was), you missed out.
They had MANY dedicated fans and always put on an amazing, fun show.
I was proud to claim that I made it to two of their concerts in less than 24hrs one time!
I was feeling nostalgic the other day and put on their live album "Proof that the youth are revolting". It was great. I sang along, danced and laughed at their crazy songs. But I also wanted to share these lyrics with you. They're from FIF's song called "Superpowers":
yeah, there's a lot more to the song than that, but i love the sentiment there. ya know, popular bands may get to meet the pope someday (if I remember correctly the Supertones got to play for some event the pope was at...now, I loved the supertones too, so i'm not saying they're no good for meeting the pope...it's just an example.). but really, who cares about meeting the pope? sure, he's popular all over the world, but he's human (uh...not to mention he's the leader of a cult that blinds so many people to the true gospel of GRACE...see this website). and who cares about rocking the mic...FIF was saying that what they really want to do is communicate to us how they got the peace and hope they have in their lives. the peace and hope that only comes from personally knowing Jesus Christ as Savior of your life!
that's what it's all about.

kid? did he just go to the concert with us or did he drive home? was he from master's? nate? tim? you're not thinking of will, are you?
no, someone from high school. i think we met up with him there, but he may have come home with us. he had a white first name and a hispanic last name. jason rodriguez or something. i know who will is. what ever happened to him?
oh...i think i know who you're talking about. but i don't remember his name. he smoked and he told me he would quit after one more pack. last time i knew, will was going the way of the world.
