It is very unusual, but there are some nights when, no matter how hard I try, I can’t fall asleep. It doesn’t happen very often, but when it does it usually takes quite a bit of time for me to fall asleep.

Over the years I have come up with a pretty decent routine for when this happens, and it usually works. I start by laying in bed listening to my ipod. If that doesn’t work I will go into the other room and pray. (I know, I am very spiritual) after some time praying, if I still can’t sleep I will read a book, or watch tv, and if all else fails I end up on Youtube.

I don’t know why I always jump on Youtube, because it never makes me want to fall asleep, in fact, it usually does the opposite and I end up staying up all night watching the most random videos.

Last night was such a night.

The only difference between last night and any other night was the video that I found.

I came across the video below of singer songwriter Keith Green.

Growing up I always knew who Keith Green was. My parents loved his music, and my Dad would always have people telling him that he was just like Keith Green. ( my dad played piano and led worship, and wrote songs)

I was so young I never really paid much attention to what the music was all about, and Keith died so early in life that he was not around when I was old enough to have any kind of understanding of what he was singing about.

After watching the video below, and other videos I found, I came to the realization that this man was quite a radical, and he talked and sang about things that would probably still step on some toes.

Check out the video below, and if you want do a Youtube search of Keith Green and check out some of his other stuff.
