blogging for a cause: billy joel

Billy Joel is one of my greatest inspirations in life. When I was about 6 years old, one of his greatest hits "Uptown Girl" was my favorite song. I proceeded to memorize the lyrics to every song in his album of greatest hits. When I come across times of trouble, I relate to "Only the Good Die Young."
One of his great albums was "The Entertainer" which featured one of the best songs of all time.... "We Didn't Start the Fire." I don't quite know what he is talking about in the song, but the lyrics that stand out to me are "We didn't start the fire; it was always burning since the world's been turning. No we didn't light it, but we're trying to fight it." Pretty solid lyrics.
I aspire to be like billy in life. The fact that he is about 60 years old and significantly unattractive doesn't yeild my love for him.

<3 you Billy.

"Healing Faith"

A rather elderly woman talks of her aspiring faith in God and how her spirituality helps her move forward every day at 93 years old. She was involved in a study proving that religion and faith has effect on one's physical health as well as mental health. For years, reseachers have been debating whether or not faith has to do with the length of people's lives. Of course, one must be physically in shape and on a healthy diet for spiritual activity to have any effect on someone's well-being in terms of the length of their life. Then again, belief in something can not be prescribed by a doctor and takes years to develop, if willingly. This interesting article expands on the idea of religion and health.
