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.
A couple of years
back, I come across a great and wasted friend of mine in the hallway of a
recording studio. And while he was
reciting some poetry to me that he’d written, I saw that he was about a step
away from dyin’ and I couldn’t help but wonder why. And the lines of this song occurred to
me. I’m happy to say he’s no longer
wasted and he’s got him a good woman.
And I’d like to dedicate this to John and June, who helped show me how
to beat the devil.
“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).
From
the featured image above, it should be rather obvious that [Grantland] is not
just another sports site. On second
thought, this could be a picture of some of the Denver Broncos fans who have
been screaming for the management to make [Tim Teabow] the starting quarterback. After all, times have been rather lean for
the team lately.
No,
the image is actually from an article on some new television series, which you
will be taken to if you will click on it.
The article is just one very fine example of what a treasure Grantland
truly is.
Of
course, not all of my readers are as culturally sophisticated as I am, but the
online magazine has plenty of pictures for the enjoyment of those who are
not. Hey, they even provide videos for
those with minds that wander!
Yep,
there is something for just about everyone on Grantland. Probably not for [Adullamite], nor
[Lavender], but I did preface this with “just about everyone.”
If
you need further convincing, click on the image of Patti Smith below, and I
think you will see what I mean. For other
than what she did with [Because The Night], I am not a fan of Patti Smith, but
the article made me wonder if maybe I should be.
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.
