Grace Walks

It is coming 20 years now since I first heard of the band LIVE. Lead singer Ed Kowalczyk is now doing his own thing but many of the elements that made LIVE a critical and commercial success have crossed over.

Since I have not been feeling well, I pulled some major hours sleeping. I felt better but then I couldn't sleep. Address one issue, create another. So it goes.

Last night, I decided to read a blog which then sent me to a website detailing an event down in Nashville where Ed K. performed last year and professed faith in Christ. I don't put a lot of hope in celebrity conversions. Dylan came and went but nonetheless, I do believe anyone who is a Truth-seeker has to come to Jesus who is the Truth.

Really loved this video "Grace." There is a line in the song that "Every saint used to be a sinner." That is not quite true...every saint is still a sinner. What Luther called, "simul iustus et peccator." As we walk in Grace, we leave sin progressively behind, yet on the streets of life we still stumble. We get up and keep moving. Grace walks.

Shake the Dust: Anis Mojgani

Pslam 90:2 "Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God." I am not real certain where Anis Mojgani comes from belief-wise. Cats like him tend to be synchrestic spiritually rather than Christ-centered. Yet, this poem captures the spirit of Jesus. What this poem also needs is grace....we shake off sin and mortality and take on Christ and immortality. This is for the fat girls This is for the little brothers For the former prom queen And for the milk crate ball players This is for the school yard wimps And the childhood bullies that tormented them Shake the dust. This is for the benches and the people sitting upon them. This is for the bus drivers driving a million broken hymns And for the men who have to hold down 3 jobs, Simply to hold up their children. For the nighttime schoolers And for the midnight bike riders trying to fly Shake the dust. For the two year olds who cann...

Thomas Jefferson & Jesus

Image
I was reminded today, by a friend's post on Facebook, that it is Thomas Jefferson's birthday. So, I had a little party on my own of watching two documentaries on him through Netflix Instant. There is much I admire about Jefferson, there is much I dislike. He is polarizing figure. Besides the owning of slaves, the second most odious character flaw was his castration of the New Testament . See my slice of his slicing. Live by the razor, die by the razor. I did learn a cool new word call Amphiboligism which means ambiguity. The arrogance of Jefferson is astounding as if he had a more accurate vantage point of Jesus after 17 centuries than Jesus's own contemporaries and colleagues. In an empirical and scientific sense, he is at a considerable disadvantage in his postulations. When my wife and I visited Monticello on our Honeymoon, the most memorable moment there --besides my downing a can of Pringles all at once (in my own version of the "Pursuit of Happiness" w...
