Dominate

WhiteHeart

Brain dead people

Pain bred people

The world’s a stable

Full of them all

Shame fed people

Potato head people

I know that I’m able

To be one of them

Eggs get scrambled

My thoughts get tangled

Cleanse my temple

You know I don’t

I don’t need this

Dominate my heart

Oh won’t You dominate it

Dominate my heart

Oh won’t You dominate it

Elevate my mind

Oh won’t You elevate it

Elevate my mind

Oh won’t You elevate it

The lines get thinner

Ethics dimmer

Who’s the winner

Chained with no rules

Remove the question

From my action

I’ll take direction

Only from You

Dominate my heart

Oh won’t You dominate it

Dominate my heart

Oh won’t You dominate it

Elevate my mind

Oh won’t You elevate it

Elevate my mind

Oh won’t You elevate it

Crack my coma

Pop my paranoia

I’m living like a disease

I’m giving it over

To someone higher

Come take control over me

Dominate my heart

Oh won’t You dominate it

Dominate my heart

Oh won’t You dominate it

Elevate my mind

Oh won’t you elevate it

Elevate my mind

Oh won’t you elevate it

Dominate

Dominate

Dominate

Dominate

Dominate me

Dominate me

Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world.  For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion.  Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.

All the Gold in California

Larry Gatlin and The Gatlin Brothers

All the gold

In California

Is in a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills

In somebody else's name

So if you're dreamin’

About California

It don't matter at all

Where you've played before

California's a brand new game

Tryin' to be a hero

Windin’ up a zero

Can scar a man forever

Right down to your soul

Livin’ on the spotlight

Can kill a man outright

'Cause everything that glitters

Is not gold

And all the gold

In California

Is in a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills

In somebody else's name

So if you're dreamin’

About California

It don't matter at all

Where you've played before

California's a brand new game

All the gold

In California

Is in a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills

In somebody else's name

So if you're dreamin’

About California

It don't matter at all

Where you've played before

California's a brand new game

Brand new game

A brand new game

Broken Lady

Larry Gatlin and The Gatlin Brothers

She’s a broken lady

Waiting to be mended

Like a potter would mend

A broken vase

A broken lady

Waiting to be mended

And have what’s left

Of the pieces

Put back in place

Her love was like a fortress

Around a man she would have died for

Taking care

To take care

Of all he needed

But the lady’s fortress

Slowly turned into a prison

And the warning signs he gave

She never heeded

She vowed every mornin’

That what God joined together

No one else in the world

Could pull apart

And then the walls came tumblin’ to the ground

And her world came crashin’ down

Around her heart

She’s a broken lady

Waiting to be mended

Like a potter would mend

A broken vase

A broken lady

Waiting to be mended

And have what’s left

Of the pieces

Put back in place

She’s a broken lady

Waiting to be mended

And have what’s left

Of the pieces

Put back in place

Come Monday...What Does It Matter?

“Come Monday…” is a weekly series that will involve a review of, or commentary about,  websites, movies, documentaries, television shows, sports, music, and whatever else may tickle my fancy at the time.  Be assured that these reviews will be generally positive, as in accordance to the Jimmy Buffett song “Come Monday.”  This is subject to change, however.  In fact, I would be most derelict in my duties to neglect going on a rant every once in a while.  For rants promote change, and change can be good—right?  Therefore, since good is generally considered as being a positive force in 99.3% of the parallel universes that I am aware of, even a rant could be considered as being something positive, and a genuine hissy-fit would be even better (so I’m told).

Well, I was all raring to go with a piece about my adventures in video production, along with singing the praises of Wolf and Trina over at [BlogDumps], but it would seem that the RSS feed for this site quit working after the last Come Monday… was published.  Besides, I am feeling worse than normal tonight, and I am certainly not in the mood to have a knock-down, drag-out fight with Blogger over making things look half-way presentable here.

So, that will be about all for this.  Yeah, it may very well be the best I have ever published.

A Sunday Drive

Back during my childhood, our parents would often load up my brother and me after Sunday morning church services for a leisurely drive around where we lived.  Even though we were seeing mostly familiar sights, it was still good to see them, and this is why “A Sunday Drive” sounded about right for the name of a weekly series revisiting familiar sites that are well worth seeing again and again.  The link below the image is to the site itself, and the image is linked to the post it was first included in here.

Trib Updates

This is a weekly series that will include a brief summary of the latest articles that have been published on The Tribulation Times Herald-Exhorter.  Hopefully, this will encourage you to go check out some truly outstanding articles that have been published by a number of truly outstanding authors.  Moreover, I hope this will also encourage you to want to become a contributing member/author, as well.  The “Hear Ye!  Hear Ye!” site explanation near the top of the side-bar should answer many of your questions.  Yes, this series also included an “SOS! (Spam On Saturdays)”  segment before, but it just wasn’t working for me.  Therefore, that will be replaced by a republishing of one of the Trib articles.

[Peace? That’s An Accident!] contains a video clip from John Rambo, courtesy of Lavender Darwin.

[Musing About the Undisciplined Brat at the Post Office] contains some more parenting tips from Lavender Darwin.

[I Resolve Not To Give George Lucas Any More Money!!!] contains a rant from Lavender Darwin about technological advances outpacing his ability to pay for them.

[1% Bank Tax Email] is from me about a very credible-looking email that is based on half-truths and political skullduggery.

[Vas Klampies Cereal] is from Lavender Darwin about one of his favorite subjects.

[Trying To Walk On Both Sides] is from me about how Rep. Michele Bachmann and Christine O’Donnell are trying to walk on both sides of the secular/Godly divide.

[Martini Madness!? Boy Did Someone Send Me the Wrong Mail…] has Lavender Darwin wondering how he got on that mailing list.

[More on Creepy Plastic Surgery] some more from Lavender Darwin on another one of his favorite subjects.

[She Didn’t Do Enough]

Close to a month ago, I published an article [here] about the Republic (MO) R-III School Board voting to remove a couple of books from the high school library in the hope of protecting the innocence of the attending children, but it would seem that they feel quite differently about protecting innocent girls from being raped on campus by predatory boys.  In fact, they appear to be quite indignant about it, which should become clear after watching the following video of a local newscast.

Link: [On KSPR]

Did you catch that next to the last part?  “School board members and school officials have refused comment about the incident, but did file a response to the suit, calling it, ‘Frivolous,’ and saying, ‘The special needs student didn't do enough to protect herself.’”

No, that report did not go into previously alleged details, which makes the Republic School Board’s response even more callous.  For the [FIRST TIME] she reported being raped to school officials, not only didn’t they believe her, they forced her to write a letter of apology to the boy before suspending her for the rest of her seventh grade year.

The next time (allegedly) it happened, DNA was obtained, and I hope the stuff is just starting to hit proverbial fan.  Granted, there may very well be another side to this story, but the way it has been handled so far is beyond shocking to me.

Alas, I suppose I shouldn’t be all that surprised.  For back when my first wife and I were going home after treating ourselves to a night out at the movies in Springfield on New Year’s Eve (1977), we were stopped by a couple of Republic Police cars as we travelled through town.  Evidently, 25 MPH was too slow to be going in a 35 MPH zone at around 2 AM with no other cars on the road, and after determining that I had not been drinking (this was before that started), one of cops told me that I needed to pay more attention to my driving than I was to my girlfriend.  Oh, there is not a doubt in my mind that this was another time when our Heavenly Father stepped in to keep me out of getting into some serious trouble.  For I wanted so badly to smart back to that officer about her being my wife, and that trying to pay as much attention to her as she would let me had resulted in her being around 5 months pregnant (with Vicki, our first child) at the time, which would have probably gotten me thrown in jail for a number of sundry charges.

No, it is not good to judge a town on a few bad incidents.  Besides, Republic actually looks like one of those fairly small towns that many dream about living in, but when self-righteousness and pride mix, there will be much more to be brought out into the light.

Sites To See

The SOLE purpose of this weekly series is to call attention to sites that I think many would find most interesting—in one way or another.  Just to be clear, inclusion in this series is not necessarily meant as a recommendation, and I have included sites that are rather disturbing to me.  The link below each image is to the site itself, and each image is linked to the particular post from which it was taken when applicable.  Please, go see for yourself.
