For Those With Earbuds To Hear

In the equipping of the my soon to be Kindle Fire, I bought some higher-end earbuds. Could be a highly premature purchase if the Kindle Fire doesn't materialize for awhile. I am on a wait list. At least Amazon did not send the leather case for the ebook (and then some) reader before I actually have it in my possession. That would be like having a mug with no beer.

To break in the earbuds I was instructed to go to manufacturer website and connect to a page that essentially was a cacophony all-over-the-aural spectrum sounds. It sounded like a Mt. Dewed R2D2 was broadcasting through the earbuds. 40 hours was the prescribed time to marinate the earbuds--seasoning them sufficiently through sound stretching, up and down and all-around. Like Yoga. It supposedly provides a richer sound post-hence if I employed the protocol. I gave up the intravenous sound infusion after 24 hours...last night I had some really weird dreams with the sounds as the score and wanted to get back to listening to Spotify with the earbuds through the sound jack on my lap top.

Got me thinking about the experiences God sends our way or permits to enter into our souls. A lot of it is adversity noise...weird discordant odd sound events, stressing and stretching me to the hilt. Sometimes I just feel like a damn-breaking...one more teaspoon of trouble and I am just going over the banks of balance. Then, God brings peace for a spell, and afterwards, more sounds come, ready or not.

The end goal of God: To make our souls expansive.

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...
