Have you ever notice how covers of some songs are MUCH better than the original songs? I have a ton of covers. Pop, Punk, Top hits, 80's, orchestral and much more. I have at least 2 playlists on my mp3 player devoted to covers. This is popping into my head thanks to the Glee station I'm listening to on Pandora.
Do you try to 'cover' someone else's life or actions by redoing the original thing with your version of it? I hate to admit it, but sometimes it seems like all I do sometimes is 'covers' of other's actions and words. I quote movies instead of coming up with something original and funny to say. I copy pranks, and I sing other's songs all time.
The more I think how much I copy others, I wonder who I actually am. Am I funny without other people's words? Am I serious student without my parent's ambition behind me? Don't get my wrong, I love who I am now, but it would be interesting to see who I was without all these 'covers' in my life.
Then again, sometimes the covers are truly better.
Who are you 'covering'?
Romans 12:2: Do not conform any longer to the patters of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of you mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is. His good, pleasing and perfect will.
