Camden

Sometimes in life I find myself caring about certain people's lives more than the usual amount. I think it may be the mommy side of me that thinks they need extra care, and I just end up feeling burdened to pray for them. Camden is one of those guys. Now to look at him you'd think he has it all. He really is completely amazing. He's a genius with music, has a black belt in something or other, knows something about everything, dances, pretty much I figure there isn't anything this guy can't do. This is all background however.
I managed to catch a bit of a gig he was playing in tonight. I was walking home from the track at the university I used to attend, and it was music night at the campus coffee shop. It was outdoors so I didn't have to sit by anyone or be noticed (I was after all really stinky from running ewew) But as I watched Camden play I realized that it's highly likely that people often tell him that he's super cool about music and very talented. I began to wonder how often he gets told that he is a great guy besides that. Humble and gracious. sweet and caring about the people in his life. Sensitive, sometimes too much, but all the same, so many great qualities that likely don't get brought up in the light of his musical talent.
I'd like to say that when I watch Camden him play, no matter what it is, I see his passion for music, I see him using a gift God gave him, I see him enjoying himself, and it makes me desire closeness with God. It's not something I've ever thought about before. Yes I've known for some time that music, at least the kind that has Godly lyrics, moves me to pursue God, But I've never before had someone else’s passion for something move me to the same place.
I'm bloging this mostly because I don't feel necessarily that it would be appropriate to tell him all of this. But because I needed someone else to know how great he is.
