Turn Up The Volume

It's so easy to drown in your sorrows

Good old music is one of a kind,

It will pick you up at your lowest,

Leaving your troubles behind.


When life gets you down play a good tune,

Forget all your sorrows and woes,

Just turn up the volume as loud as can be,

Tapping your fingers and toes.


Music is full of fond memories,

Taking you back to good days,

Music is, the medicine of life

That is there in its own special way.

Hopeful Waiting

Image
 Waiting is an activity with impressive documentation throughout Scripture, yet it's astonishingly ignored in most constructs of how to live the Christian life. Waiting isn't a passive occupation but an active and hopeful orientation toward the activity of God for which there's no present evidence. Refusal to wait is a refusal to trust. Paul never counselled passivity or quietism. He did, however, commend the hopeful waiting that expects Christ to save the day-not only in the Second Coming but also in all the daily comings where he shows up in our lives, offering salvation from one kind of doom or another, whether a doomed marriage or a dommed business or simply a doomed attitude.

A David Psalm, when he outwitted Abimelech and got away. (Psalm 34)

Image
I bless God every chance I get; my lungs expand with his praise. I live and breathe God; if things aren't going well, hear this and be happy: Join me in spreading the news; together let's get the word out. God met me more than halfway, and freed me from my anxious fears. Look at him; give him your warmest smile. Never hide your feelings from him. When I was desperate, I called out, and God got me out of a tight spot. God's angels set up a circle of protection around us while we pray. Open your mouth and taste, open your eyes and see how good God is. Blessed are you who run to him. Worship God if you want the best; Worship opens doors to all his goodness. Eugene H. Peterson, Do you think of the Christian life as something that lifts you out of the realm of the mundane into something more majestic? If so, you're wishing in the wrong direction. The Christian faith draws us deeper into the stuff of creation: bodies, money, emotions,  and relationships. Some of the stuff we ...

PSALM 46 (THE MESSAGE)

Image
 God is a safe place to hide, we stand fearless on the cliff edge of doom, courageous in sea storms and earthquakes. Before the rush and roar of oceans, the tremors that shift mountains. Jacob wrestling God fights for us, God of angel armies protect us. River fountains splash joy, cooling God's city, the sacred haunt of the Most High. God lives here the streets are safe, God at your service from crack of dawn. Godless nations rant and rave, kings and kingdoms threaten, but earth does anything he says. Jacob-wrestling God fights for us, God of angel armies protect us. Attentoin all! See the marvels of God! He plants flowers and tree's all over the earth. Bans war from pole to pole, breaks all weapons across his knee. "Step out of the traffic! Take a long loving look at me. your  h igh  God. above politics above everything." Jacob-wrestling God fights for us, God of angel armies protect us. Eugene H. Peterson Changed by what we see?
