Tonight I dug through (clicked through) some old songs that I’ve recorded and I came across this one recorded after Josh Elek’s wedding. Tonight I’m remembering the beautiful Church in Pittsburgh that Josh was married in along with some tearful memories of music with Tom Lantz. It’s amazing how fast music can take us to the places we’ve been and transform us into the people we were~
It’s a rather rough recording and you have to wait a few seconds for the song to start: 01-daydream-believer
I thought this article was interesting. Various leaders from around the World discuss what’s needed by the next American administration with regards to foreign relations, here is a small excerpt and the link to the article:
Deregulation; a nasty word. These days, it’s every man for himself. Our government certainly isn’t going to help us battle big business. In fact, the government, the one that’s supposed to represent us, wants to give wall-street billions for its constant greed. And tonight, the American people will be wooed and or frightened into pulling out their pocketbooks; does this sound familiar to anyone?
One more topic while I’m annoyed:
Campaign advertisements; AKA the intellectual insults of our modern era: please, please, spare me the partisan plea of tax increases; both parties tax and many times taxes come in unrecognizable forms.
Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever change my mind on these policies and issues. I can’t see that day anytime soon. But if I do, please don’t call me a liar or flip-flopper, that would hurt. Call me a grower and a thinker cause that’s what I am. I think:)
“A new command I give to you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” Jesus, speaking to his followers in John 13:34 NIV
Regardless of the evils done in the name of Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism and all other isms and organized religions, we still must remember that we are all just people full of good and evil at the same time. We are all people; fully human. We don’t bomb Pakistanis, Militants, Christians or Muslims; when we bomb, we bomb people~
Two Sundays ago, a discussion emerged in church about repentance, the ensuing sermon dealt with similar themes. Below are some of my thoughts and reflections of that time:
Humility; something that’s lacking in our churches and nation today; something that is lacking in my life today; humility stops us in our rage and heightened temperament and begs the question of openness and honesty. Empathy is birthed from humility; we see others through the lens of real humanity and struggle. We place our needs below the needs of others, especially our need to avenge a wrongdoing. We give God His right and true place. Humility breeds repentance, but it all starts with humbleness.
God, help me to be humble, at times I really suck at it…
Again, both responses are sincere I’m sure, but both responses have enormous implications for the course of America in the coming decade. I think the question of evil is one of the most important questions that we can ask the candidates and I’m grateful for Rick’s forum because it brought out the important philosophical and religious sides of the candidates. I actually watched the forum live and remember being so grateful for the tone of the questions and the sincere platform that it gave both men to state their views. It was a breath of fresh air compared to the recent television ads.
The whole forum is below. I appreciated the responses of both men. Some responses disappointed me but others I was quite pleased with. If you are at all interested in the candidate’s worldviews and different approaches to faith questions, you should watch the very important forum below:
I didn’t have school today due to the high winds and secondary power outages. Cincinnati’s mayor issued a state of emergency and as of now, they say 700,000 people are without power. Everyone here in the southwest is supplied by Duke Energy and turns out, I am one of the 50,000 lucky ones who has power. Here are some pics of the damage. The tree in the picture below is right across the street from me:
added, September 10 this post was written before the now famous “pigs in lipstick” comment by Obama. I have an idea (insert sarcasm), lets take everything the candidates say out of context and make a circus out of their words. Wow, I feel even more like a Jr. Higher. The wisest thing is for the American public to stop buying into and putting up with this bull%&$^! also known as American smear politics. And the real issues just keep getting flushed further and further down the toilet while both sides continue to cry foul play…
Sadly, I see too many similarities between the race for student council at Vail Middle School and the race for the president of the United States; come to think of it, those television ads do make me feel like a middle school voter at times. It’s unfortunate and I really wish we could see how our politics are thought of abroad; cheesy, shallow, and certainly not about the issues.
In my estimation and on both sides, it seems to be a popularity contest. Can’t we make the race for the white house about the issues and just realize the differences between the parties? Stop insulting me with cheap and shallow religious talk, personal attacks, pictures of pretty families, and warm apple pie!
Over the past few months, the political winds have churned up some fierce storms in my mind. Almost reluctantly, I admit that I have written many pages, personally journaling my thoughts about this campaigning season, but mainly those writings have been about politics in general; the language, style, differences in party, application of faith etc. I hope to cover some of those topics in a series of posts. I laugh as I type this because I really (sincerely) don’t want to come off as vain as if you’ll wait in eager anticipation for Ryan’s next segment on American Politics:) I appreciate your readership of this blog but this is certainly by no means propaganda; I only offer my thoughts as a way to release what is penned up in my brain (a crazy one no doubt).
Part I; Faith in the Political Movement~
I’ve had several conversations with folks about this year’s campaign and what keeps coming up over and over again is this sense of subjectivity and emotion when people speak about their preferred candidate. If you take the time to listen intently to people’s voices and carefully to the sound-clips on many political ads, you’ll pick it up. This emotion and passion in their voices, the posture of their body as they speak proudly of the particular person or issue they are being asked about. They seem empowered and for a brief moment, on center stage. All of these things have interested me greatly over the past few months.
In many ways, and for many reasons that I will state, it has appeared to me that politics bleeds into the fabric of faith and the delicate realm of our passions, prides and tightly knit and hidden values. I can’t explain it really but it has just become so apparent to me, (because I’ve also seen this in myself) the tendency to identify with something and then hold so tightly to it afraid that if we give up some ground or admit some small defeat or inconsistency, we somehow loose it all. It’s really an all of nothing mentality and in my humble opinion, it so distorts our realities when it comes to politics. We hold so tightly to a particular candidate and feel the need to defend, speak and fight for sometimes using absurd grounds for doing so. We are quick to defend our candidate from any and all wrong doing.
I believe it is our innate need to identify and put our trust and energy into something; to identify with a higher cause, something greater than ourselves; in short, to practice faith.
I think it’s better to put my faith in something larger than politics; larger than the money trails, issues and speeches. Why not take all of that passion and put it towards something that transcends and is not definable by political, evangelical, catholic, anglican or english language?
Yes, I have my views on the issues and will vote accordingly. BUT, to put my faith in either of these two candidates is ridiculous; they’re too small and other things are too big!
And yes, I wrestle with my small definable English language as well, for it’s the only way to communicate these small thoughts from my small brain~
