In our modern era we struggle to connect in ways that should come more naturally to us. We should connect with others, with God, and most fundamentally, with ourselves. I'm going to take a blog to correlate  each of these themes to a song. I'll begin with the theme of feeling of struggling to love or even find yourself.

"Love others as you love yourself" Scripture says. So that's fundamental.

Yet the rising suicide rate should tell us that something is broken. We live in a society where too many people feel fundamentally estranged from themselves.

How do we find our way back? How do we connect with our core self?

Pink Floyd did a great job with it's album "The Wall." It depicts a child growing up in a world without connections.

I think a whole generation is growing up this way. What do you think?
