Back from Detroit!


Wanted to drop a quick blog post about being back from Detroit. I had a great time; it was everything I had hoped it would be and then some. Highlight of the visit was a trek to the original location of Motown. It is not often that I can put myself right in the middle of where history happened. A very humble start in a house to a music company that changed the world of popular music.

Motown's success remind me of that verse to "Not despise the day of small beginnings."  Think of this...the incarnation of Jesus started small, in the womb of Mary. 

Motown's founder Berry Gordy wrote songs in his head while he worked on a Chrysler assembly line. He would do his job quickly and then transcribe the tunes onto paper using a simplified musical note system while waiting for the next car to arrive. From that two year experience of working on the assembly line, he essentially created a musical assembly line for tunes that cranked hit out after hit.

One photograph at the Motown Museum showed a graphic chart from back in the 1960's where Motown had five of the top ten hits in music (as a Black-owned company). That is so remarkable. Just because it happened doesn't make it any less amazing.
  
I don't know how long I will be reflecting on Motown and Detroit...there is a lot to process here.

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...
