Spotify Thoughts

The last week has been filled with listening to Spotify while pounding out my book.

I am rocking to Tommy from The Who right now. I am finding that I am mostly listening to songs for albums that I already own, and are downstairs somewhere, or stuff I used to own before I threw the music out in an attempt to purge myself of worldly influences or just trying to get rid of items that I no longer had time for. Or so I thought. Ah, youthful zeal.

Time has a way of reminding us of the value of something or someone when perhaps it was easy to dismiss the value when it/he/she was around 24-7. We take much of what we have for granted until it is gone and then we go, "Hmmm, maybe that wasn't a good ideas to get rid of it to start with."

Imagine how much we would want the Bible if we did not have one. You mean I can have a revelation from God? That would be awesome! Instead, the Bible sits on the shelf while we read words that have a half-life of a fruit fly and not the eternal nature of God's word.

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."

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...
