Being an old comic book fan (pre LGBT propaganda days) this book caught my eye at the local discount Christian bookseller in Jackson - </span><a href="https://www.christianpublishersoutlet.com/">https://www.christianpublishersoutlet.com/</a> - they don't show it available on the website, but Amazon has it - https://a.co/d/fRAaBir</p><p><span> Anyway - today I read about Spider-Man 3 and Venom. I don't remember a lot about the movie, but Ed, the author, has done a GREAT job making it into a story of forgiveness, and noted that it incorporates God, but not </span>blatantly... If it's too blatant, people will reject it, but things in 'story form' ? People accept!</p><p><span> This reminded me of a pocket reminder coin that I carry - I had misplaced it, but found it and now have it in my pocket as a reminder to Forgive!</span><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmFJnf2NNO3ryRUQ8JBPJ-mgWv32a8lKFBSch9bn0wD-5D7XwXsjykZMNPlB1qGRPCmjmgMcZcMTFBIBKnQOoNC4U4HQOAVMIAvyVdqF7gXsXMmbhIMKtsTdej02sSgFRpUCSP0QQPnMT3ID0cGgVxkhIw8IPrWQXzXtIlc0Ojqm0QwOJcrZh64mmaGw/s2366/IMG_4321.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2366" data-original-width="2307" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmFJnf2NNO3ryRUQ8JBPJ-mgWv32a8lKFBSch9bn0wD-5D7XwXsjykZMNPlB1qGRPCmjmgMcZcMTFBIBKnQOoNC4U4HQOAVMIAvyVdqF7gXsXMmbhIMKtsTdej02sSgFRpUCSP0QQPnMT3ID0cGgVxkhIw8IPrWQXzXtIlc0Ojqm0QwOJcrZh64mmaGw/s320/IMG_4321.HEIC" width="312" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span> What does this mean?

As Ed points out in the devotional, anger and hate and 'need for revenge' will take over your feelings and ultimately your life! Forgiveness is a gift you actually give YOURSELF! Ever been mad at someone or hurt about something and then find out they didn't even realize it or remember it? Who do you think the lack of forgiveness has been hurting? Yep...</span><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span><span> I won't say it's easy... I've had some major things <salute> that have eaten at me over the years, and I've had to ask God to help me forgive. It's not easy, and the two people specifically that I'm thinking of? They don't even know I've forgiven them. Neither have asked for my forgiveness so I've not brought it up, but it has FREED MY MIND to concentrate on doing good, on witnessing, on enjoying time with others.</span><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span><span><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span><span><span> Have I forgotten?

We will browse for sales online (I actually placed an order for a gift yesterday while quietly enjoying some Sawdust Pie - in a pecan shell, of all things!) and I did make a McDonald's run this morning because Emmett wanted pancakes. :-) </p><p><span> I was placing the order on my phone and said "hotcakes" and he said, "no, Pop, I want PAN cakes."</span><br /></p><p><span> So otherwise, the day has been a long one in Indy enjoying time with Kyle, except when he was at work, and Devin and Emmett. He spent a big part of the day using his imagination in "Mimi & Pop's room" with us.</span><br /></p><p><span><span> Vanessa is not feeling so hot. Her foot is healing, but still has a ways to go. It's that time of year, and things are busy. Taking care of her mom & dad is something she and I are happy to do, but I can tell it's adding to the stress. We have a conference coming up and I'm hoping that it will be some 'quiet time' away as well as getting some excitement back about teaching...</span><br /></span></p><p><span><span><span> I have a link to share - feel free, gentle reader, to go read this man's common words said in a VERY uncommon way first, then come back for my rebuttal - LOL</span><br /></span></span></p><p><span><span><span><span> </span></span></span></span><a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/garrisonkeillor/p/an-old-man-thinking-at-the-thanksgiving?r=1owyn8&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email">https://open.substack.com/pub/garrisonkeillor/p/an-old-man-thinking-at-the-thanksgiving?r=1owyn8&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email</a></p><p><span> Back? Okay...</span><br /></p><p><span><span> I love me some live shows as well, sir, and I totally get that! I am six foot four inches with bad knees as well and there are some things you just have to work around. :-) I have very few shirts, as compared to some people, and will cycle through them for work and church. I also have very few board games, considering that's such a fun hobby of mine! As much as I enjoy playing games, I own the ones that I WANT to play the most, plus a few I've picked up because Vanessa wanted it, or I thought it would be good for 'party' time get togethers (family times). Those don't happen much though...</span><br /></span></p><p><span><span><span> I very much enjoyed your paragraph about church! I regret to say that I didn't take my Christianity as serious when I was younger, but I've committed myself to Him and am always TRYING to be on the lookout for opportunities to serve.</span><br /></span></span></p><p><span><span><span><span> And the story of leading the people in the songs! Yes! I can so much relate to that! We don't have sing a longs any more, and that's a sad thing... It's also one of the things I enjoyed most about your radio show. The ones I've listened to over and over have me remembering the songs and singing along. I love your 'parody' lyrics of "the blue black bugs" and other ones, and I still relate "Hello Love" to YOUR voice, not others I've heard sing it. I felt like you meant it when I saw you in Memphis and when I would listen on the radio.</span><br /></span></span></span></p><p><span><span><span><span><span> One last thing - I wasn't the oldest at Thanksgiving - that honor fell to my daughter-in-laws father, but Vanessa and I weren't too far behind I'm sure. :-) I did have the realization a few years ago at the funeral of an aunt that MY generation (me, my siblings, my cousins) were now the OLDEST generation on my father's side... He was one of eight kids and now they are all gone.</span><br /></span></span></span></span></p><p><span><span><span><span><span><span> So this trip is drawing to a close. I'm not at all excited about having to leave. It's been fun, but I know we have things to do at home... We have a home to finish prepping, for one thing (I have more switches and receptacles to change out - I need to build some shelves, etc.) - and the work responsibilities, as well as doctor visits (hello again getting older! Did you think I forgot you?) and taking care of the in-laws. But I have the pleasure of spending time with the family and traveling with Vanessa. I pray she can make it through this time and come out the other side with happy memories... Ya'll pray too, please!</span><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p><span><span><span><span><span><span><br /></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>jimmyloganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09385541672488191909noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2407613104681349566.post-56030093448114908212022-11-22T19:02:00.004-08:002022-11-22T19:02:28.440-08:00Thanksgiving 2022<p><span> </span>I'm sitting here at my son's house - everyone is asleep except for him, playing video games, and me, typing this blog...</p><p><span> I just finished helping a friend with her daughter's computer via TeamViewer - handy dandy little piece of software!</span></p><p><span><span> Anyway - I was looking at the info in my contacts and saw I have a TON of 'home page' entries, including this blog. Boy was I surprised to see it's been SO very long since I put any words down...</span><br /></span></p><p><span><span><span> So what to do with this page? This post? So much going through my mind right now... So much concern for a certain lady that has a </span>broken foot, but even more so a broken heart... I love her so much, but can't fix the internal things, no matter how much I'd like to...</span></span></p><p><span><span><span> So just consider this a 'get reacquainted,' gentle reader, as I work through some thoughts and hopefully start with this again. I have so very much to be thankful for in life, and even more so in the afterlife, but I also know that this time of year is rough on some people. I pray for an extra ounce of grace for all those that are suffering, and some extra patience for those that come into contact with them.</span><br /></span></span></p><p><span><span><span><span> That's all for now - God Bless, and Happy Thanksgiving!!!</span><br /></span></span></span></p><p><span><span><span><span><br /></span></span></span></span></p><p><span><span><span><span><br /></span></span></span></span></p>jimmyloganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09385541672488191909noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2407613104681349566.post-76461179403658149352021-11-24T14:24:00.000-08:002021-11-24T14:24:13.057-08:0012 of 12 - November 2021<p> Been a while since I've sat down to type anything - this will be a simple one...

Maria is unsettled at the idea of leaving the abbey and giving up on her dream of becoming a nun. The Reverend Mother reassures her with the now-famous cliché, “When the Lord closes a door, somewhere He opens a window.” In other words, whenever one opportunity ends, another opportunity will come along — and it will probably be a better one. Sure enough, the closing abbey door leads to the opening of the window that ushers Fräulein Maria into the arms of the dashing Captain Von Trapp.</span></p><p style="caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; word-break: break-word;"> </p><p style="caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; word-break: break-word;"><span style="line-height: inherit;">Though the cliché is meant to help people stay positive in the face of disappointment, it isn’t exactly true. God doesn’t promise that when something doesn’t work out, something better is waiting for us just around the corner. His pledge is far more substantive than that. He promises to sustain us amid life’s disappointments. When all the doors and windows remain shut, He helps us make our way through the dark room, and He sustains us. Our circumstances do not always change for the better. But we can be confident that He will use them to change us for the better.</span></p><p style="caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; word-break: break-word;"> </p><p style="caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85); color: #555555; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; text-align: center; word-break: break-word;"><span style="line-height: inherit;"><em style="line-height: inherit;">‘I know the plans I have for you’ — this is the Lord’s declaration — ‘plans for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope’.</em> — Jeremiah 29:11</span></p><p><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /></p>jimmyloganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09385541672488191909noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2407613104681349566.post-21243967575840472322021-10-27T15:22:00.002-07:002021-10-27T15:22:25.233-07:00Garden Tomb<p> I was driving to work this morning when I heard the familiar, yet different, sounds of a mandolin picking out the intro to a song. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyfHnK6_kvpNmDgikLdLJXUriwPdRs6e9-Itj21y0ZwXakbqAnEgn-Sj3hytJcNSh0h16O-h5hg1a_QCXNHClo8tpqcBqeX3wY16V-oZYGi38-kxtrw4zsOcm-bBDWuCycYCp76ZBdgP_O/s2048/65625488814__E3EECE5F-F836-4FE3-ADC6-996A8A1C399A.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyfHnK6_kvpNmDgikLdLJXUriwPdRs6e9-Itj21y0ZwXakbqAnEgn-Sj3hytJcNSh0h16O-h5hg1a_QCXNHClo8tpqcBqeX3wY16V-oZYGi38-kxtrw4zsOcm-bBDWuCycYCp76ZBdgP_O/w480-h640/65625488814__E3EECE5F-F836-4FE3-ADC6-996A8A1C399A.png" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Back when we traveled with The Heaven's Echos, this was a song we would do quite often, and I played the mandolin part. (Actually, as an aside, kind of a funny story... We did the song Peace Within and I played the mandolin on it. Then we went into the studio to record Garden Tomb and I played that intro and break over and and over and over again - then Sunday we had a singing at a church and I could NOT for the life of me play Peace Within! Every time I tried it came out as Garden Tomb! LOL) It is a beautiful song with a beautiful message! </p><p>I'm having trouble finding that particular version in Apple Music - but here's a link to one - <a href="https://music.apple.com/us/album/garden-tomb/282484922?i=282485102">https://music.apple.com/us/album/garden-tomb/282484922?i=282485102</a></p><p>Here's the lyrics - </p><i>When Mary saw Jesus in the Garden so soon</i><div><i>She thought he was the keeper who watched o're the tomb.</i></div><div><i>But she knew it was Jesus when he turned to say</i></div><div><i>Go tell my disciples I have risen today.</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>Chorus...</i></div><div><i>Early one morning at the breaking of dawn</i></div><div><i>Two women went out to the garden alone.</i></div><div><i>They were going to anoint Jesus with spices that day</i></div><div><i>But Jesus had risen the stone rolled away.</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>When they stooped over to look in the tomb</i></div><div><i>Two angels were sitting in that little room.</i></div><div><i>Why seek ye the living among the dead</i></div><div><i>For Jesus had risen the angels then said.</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><div><i>Chorus...</i></div><div><i>Early one morning at the breaking of dawn</i></div><div><i>Two women went out to the garden alone.</i></div><div><i>They were going to anoint Jesus with spices that day</i></div><div><i>But Jesus had risen the stone rolled away.</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>When Mary told Peter that Jesus was gone</i></div><div><i>He ran to the garden and John came along.</i></div><div><i>But the tomb it was empty what marvelous grace</i></div><div><i>For there lies the napkin that covered his face.</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>Chorus...</i></div><div><i>Early one morning at the breaking of dawn</i></div><div><i>Two women went out to the garden alone.</i></div><div><i>They were going to anoint Jesus with spices that day</i></div><div><i>But Jesus had risen the stone rolled away.</i></div></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><br /></div><p>Let's take a look at this, shall we? First, it talks of the first Easter Sunday morning! The glorious day of Jesus' resurrection! The first, and most IMPORTANT fact, is that Jesus rose from the dead! He became the perfect sacrifice for our sins so that we can live forever! Don't get so into the song that this one simple fact of the Gospels is overlooked, for without the shedding of His blood and our acceptance of it, there is no hope of salvation!</p><p>So, moving onto the song. Starting with John Chapter 20 - </p><p><i>14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.</i></p><p><i>15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.</i></p><p><i>16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.</i></p><p>So here we have Mary's interaction with Jesus, but she didn't know it was Him!</p><p><i>17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but <b>go to my brethren</b>, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. </i></p><p>(the emphasis is mine, to show what's mentioned in the song)</p><p>Moving to the chorus, we turn to Mark Chapter 16 - </p><p><i>1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.</i></p><p><i>2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.</i></p><p><i>3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?</i></p><p><i>4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.</i></p><p>Now let's turn to Luke 24 - </p><p><i>1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.</i></p><p><i>2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.</i></p><p><i>3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.</i></p><p><i>4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:</i></p><p><i>5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?</i></p><p><i>6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,</i></p><p>And back to Luke 24 - </p><p><i>12 Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.</i></p><p>And finally back to John Chapter 20 - </p><p><i>1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.</i></p><p><i>2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.</i></p><p><i>3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.</i></p><p><i>4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.</i></p><p><i>5 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.</i></p><p><i>6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,</i></p><p><i>7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Again - a GLORIOUS story, and told VERY very well in this song! One point that I must make, though, is the napkin. What's the significance of the napkin?!?</p><p>In the tradition of the time, if you got up from a meal and were finished, you would wipe your hands & face and just toss the napkin down. BUT - and this is extremely important - if you were NOT finished and you WERE COMING BACK, you folded your napkin neatly.</p><p>So what is Jesus saying? I'm stepping away from the table, but I'm not finished here on Earth. I WILL RETURN.</p><p>Hallelujah!!!!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><i><br /></i></p>jimmyloganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09385541672488191909noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2407613104681349566.post-32351092847263723352021-10-26T17:17:00.000-07:002021-10-26T17:17:34.241-07:00Christian Monk<p> While flipping through my magazines and devotions, I opened up The Voice of the Martyrs magazine - found here - <a href="https://www.persecution.com/free-magazine/" target="_blank">https://www.persecution.com/free-magazine/</a></p><p>Now, this is the first time I've read it before, but an article really caught my eye!

He mentioned Christians not having time to build the temple when they had time to 'panel their houses.' So we shouldn't make our house better with everything we have but ignore the Lord's house - got it. Simple enough.</p><p>Then he goes on to say, and this is where MY toes got sore, we as Christians are doing OTHER things instead of HIS things. Did you 'not have time' to read your devotional today? Really? What did you have time for then? Ouch...</p><p>So, first break I got, I grabbed the Voice of the Martyrs magazine and read the next story. Not really a devotional, but it really touched me. This person, Sara, is being threatened by anti-Christian people, yet she and her husband are still witnessing and giving out bibles and having bible study. One of the bibles they use? The ACTION BIBLE! I have a copy of this, but have only read a bit of it...</p><p>It's a graphic novel style bible. Yes - a comic book! I've become less enthralled with modern comics - Flash and Green Lantern have been favorites for years, but they just don't hold my attention right now, and then with the pro-gay 'agenda' now affecting comic books? I have less and less respect or desire to explore the genre. But the Action Bible! Now that's another story!</p><p>I picked up my comic at <a href="https://christianpublishersoutlet.com" target="_blank">Christian Publishers Outlet</a> - in Jackson, Tennessee. They show it online, but in the store it was, I think, $9.99. VERY much worth it!!!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTwee8MaE6GnAZuFPyJZD8-DdZYAme82wgtFuA_jfqj5tqGHygiwKaQzYu7d2mgK0BZzatnIzsh16pg8FvhzJUozARLHcKoZCvKQ_D301kOcluzwfnkoJMRgQyg-W4soIS1wlO12_UVMj2/s930/Screen+Shot+2021-10-21+at+8.43.51+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="930" data-original-width="492" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTwee8MaE6GnAZuFPyJZD8-DdZYAme82wgtFuA_jfqj5tqGHygiwKaQzYu7d2mgK0BZzatnIzsh16pg8FvhzJUozARLHcKoZCvKQ_D301kOcluzwfnkoJMRgQyg-W4soIS1wlO12_UVMj2/w338-h640/Screen+Shot+2021-10-21+at+8.43.51+AM.png" width="338" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So, I'm convicted now - how about you?

He's doing a study of Hebrews and man is he on the mark!!! </p><p>On a side note, would love to have a week long revival/study with him and our pastor together!!!</p><p>Anyway, it's about faith and I reference this - Hebrews 11:1 - Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.</p><p>He says that if we can see it, then it's not faith. It's only faith if we believe and ACT on it without seeing it first!</p><p>James 2:26 says - For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.</p><p>So Dr. Evans likes to say that our FEET are what prove it. We can SAY we have faith, but if we don't ACT on it... Well... You can say you have faith you won't have a wreck, but you put on your seat belt "just in case." That's not faith - that's hope!</p><p>Today's Jesus Calling email is...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH9j8KTe8bN3C2XniPECpzUZWGkZCGwYrtBeXEBSYIZFedx7cho0ADpMXp0a4ljJkaiao8ALPPjoHKniIc6aWamGBwv2F0JjJMtyFIJ_hZyxv7nvHWs_cJ_NMBo2deYQanuRczBivo9Myh/s1282/Screen+Shot+2021-10-15+at+11.05.54+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1210" data-original-width="1282" height="604" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH9j8KTe8bN3C2XniPECpzUZWGkZCGwYrtBeXEBSYIZFedx7cho0ADpMXp0a4ljJkaiao8ALPPjoHKniIc6aWamGBwv2F0JjJMtyFIJ_hZyxv7nvHWs_cJ_NMBo2deYQanuRczBivo9Myh/w640-h604/Screen+Shot+2021-10-15+at+11.05.54+AM.png" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div>This made me think of something else Dr. Evans says - we are SAVED by what Christ did on the cross; we just accept it.

(this is from the November issue of Astronomy)</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikIZJph9OQ5iJnxyL2yrVre1jicvod3MSlYPy4dD6rYj1npi4cHRq8LlfRam4GeSn7_A23rYNE_XLERvPrgPT0jUI2AW5aRe5dbSwSFdQ4i1M7QCgj4FUKMkhswZatECxxIAyGVLwJLFPn/s2048/alien_life.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1535" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikIZJph9OQ5iJnxyL2yrVre1jicvod3MSlYPy4dD6rYj1npi4cHRq8LlfRam4GeSn7_A23rYNE_XLERvPrgPT0jUI2AW5aRe5dbSwSFdQ4i1M7QCgj4FUKMkhswZatECxxIAyGVLwJLFPn/w480-h640/alien_life.png" width="480" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p>Note in the second column - the double slit. If you're not familiar with that, in laymen's terms all things are potential until someone observes it. Look it up if you're interested - it is VERY very interesting, and something that can be SHOWN with science. Very cool.</p><p>Anyway, I disagree with Schrodinger in that "life may be the result of an accident." I firmly believe "In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth" and that he put man on this planet. S goes on to say that Consciousness can NOT be an accident - that it can't be explained. Of course not! How can we describe the human soul?</p><p>The writer of the story goes on to posit that the universe might just be 'self aware.' It's like he's describing God! He goes on to wonder if our brains "arise with an architecture" to cognize. </p><p>I'm reminded of something we talked about in Bible Study last night. Truth is always truth, but knowledge can grow and CHANGE. I believe the more people understand how things might work, the more it points to a CREATOR and God. The article mentions a "sudden appearance as a hyper-dense marble-sized ball that bewilderedly popped out of nothingness." Yes, the "Big Bang Theory" - or, as I like to say, the scientific explanation for what would have been visible had someone been there to watch Him speak it into existence out of nothing. </p><p>Is there a point to this? No, just ramblings. :-) But I'm curious what you, gentle reader, think about it?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>jimmyloganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09385541672488191909noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2407613104681349566.post-85097023613972782882021-09-22T16:25:00.000-07:002021-09-22T16:25:04.507-07:0025 to Life<p> </p><p>Been a while since I've talked about a song on this blog, so I thought I'd share this one...</p><p>If you have Apple Music, you can hear it here - <a href="https://music.apple.com/us/album/25-to-life/1576292911?i=1576292912 https://music.apple.com/us/album/25-to-life/1576292911?i=1576292912" target="_blank">25 to Life</a></p><p>If you don't have it, you can also hear it here - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLWxbMZBggw" target="_blank">YouTube</a></p><p>So - on to the lyrics... The hook absolutely caught me!</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Momma wouldn't let me be a cowboy Couldn't pass in medicine and such</i></p><p><i>So here I am counting barrels Good ol' West Texas sludge</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Okay - my first thought was he wanted to be a cowboy but, as we know, <i><a href="https://music.apple.com/us/search?term=mamas%20don%27t%20let%20your%20babies%20%20ed%20bruce" target="_blank">"Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys..."</a></i> So he's working an oil field, right?</p><p>(side note - that link is to Ed Bruce, the original writer, along with his wife. As a songwriter myself, I like to hear the original intent... Remind me to share Poncho and Lefty with you sometime...)</p><p><br /></p><p><i>But I'd rather be an outlaw Riding like Bonnie and Clyde</i></p><p><i>Instead I'm in this here high rise Doing 25 to life</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Wait - he's in an office!?!?</p><p><br /></p><p><i>This room is feeling like a cage Counting the numbers of my long and lonesome days</i></p><p><i>I punch out in fits of rage I gotta get out of this place</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p>Yep - sounds like he's trapped for sure!</p><p><br /></p><p><i>I could be out on the prairie Under the stars at night</i></p><p><i>Sitting with a guitar round a campfire Singing devil wears a suit and tie</i></p><p><br /></p><p>My first thought is something like Roy Rogers sitting around a campfire. I've been known to play my guitar around a fire, too, back in the days when we used to go camping with friends. I'm a little old and broken for it now, but I very much enjoyed tent camping! Now we have a fire pit we can sit at out in the back yard, and I always have a guitar with me...</p><p><br /></p><p><i>But I'd rather be an outlaw Riding like Bonnie and Clyde</i></p><p><i>Instead I'm in this here high rise Doing 25 to life</i></p><p><i>I pull this mask up on my face I'm back in my happy place</i></p><p><i>Riding again with the old gang Stealing hearts and taking names</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Chorus again then a note about being an outlaw. Does he truly want to be a Bonnie & Clyde bank robber? I think it's more about the feeling of being free. Riding again with the old gang could just be old friends remembered in a more carefree time. The mask might not be an outlaw mask, but the 'face' he wore so long ago. Stealing hearts instead of money, taking names instead of jewelry. So many ways to 'read' that!</p><p>Then he changes the Chorus/Refrain...</p><p><i>But I'd rather be an outlaw Darlin', oh you'd be my side</i></p><p><i>We'd ride off into the sunset Doing 25 to life</i></p><p><i>You could be my Bonnie I would be your Clyde</i></p><p><i>We would not worry for money Into the sunset we'd ride</i></p><p><i>Doing 25 to life</i></p><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>It's clear he has a love interest, or at least the memory of one. Either way he's longing to just get out and away. Man! It's deep! The feeling of being trapped in an office building is very, very real.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Any interest in hearing the stories of some songs I've written?

In any way. One of my aches is from my deep Italian fondness for anything pasta. I mean for real, I love pasta, but it does not love me back. So, I have to make the choice not to risk the temporary pleasure of my taste buds for what will surely be hours of rebellion in my stomach. My flesh begs me to believe that short-term happiness is worth the long-term misery.</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-size: 15px;">But I’ve discovered something about defeating the flesh. If I fill my stomach with healthy foods before being tempted with the pasta, I can say no. It’s so much easier to turn away a dish of pasta if you’re completely full already. But if you are desperately hungry, a dish of just about anything is hard to turn away. Our souls and our stomachs are alike in this way."</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-size: 15px;">Okay - wow - yes, Lysa T., that's for me. No, not the food reference, LOL, but the fact that if I don't guard my heart and make sure it's filled with HIS love and guidance that I will tend to go off on my own, and we all know what happens when man is left to his own devices... See Adam, Cain, Lot, et al.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">She also says, "When we have Christ, we are full — fully loved and accepted and empowered to say no. This is true on the days we feel it and still true when we don’t feel Jesus’ love at all." Wow - what a reminder... It's like the preacher said during one of his latest 12 minute talks (LOL - inside joke there), the WORD is true when we feel it, and it's true when we don't feel it (okay, I'm paraphrasing). The fact that Jesus loves us is true at all times, and it's a belief and a knowledge, and NOT dependent on emotion or 'how we feel' that day.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">So are you full? Or are you stuffing your soul trying to GET satisfied?</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">Toward the end, she writes...</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-size: 15px;">"There is power in really knowing this. This isn’t dependent on what you’ve accomplished. Or on another person loving you or accepting you. Nor is it because you always feel full.</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-size: 15px;">You are full, because Christ brought the fullness to you."</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">There it is! That's the crux of it! Just like Salvation itself, Christ brought it to us - it's a gift from Him - we just have to accept it. Easy? Not necessarily. The flesh is constantly at war with the spirit, but it doesn't change the simple truth!</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">God Bless YOU, gentle reader...</span></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-size: 15px;">Full text <a href="https://www.faithgateway.com/living-loved/?utm_source=devosdaily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=devosdaily20210921&utm_term=Devotionals%20Daily%20-%20Minus%20Welcome%2090%20Day%20Engaged#.YUnUCS-B1QI" target="_blank">here</a></span></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6dlAofnnywkuNKeHU8f4EDj_2LxWEs4VtFOlNuGY80nsps9honJHEdgIqR8GZa8yAgPPI3Tq_iRN2cFSB5nmrotie8ZNBmpC9cJBNSbRXWRDcrw9WNjpunpM0r7j_NEJ1fGhmPyzem601/s838/Screen+Shot+2021-09-21+at+7.57.11+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="832" data-original-width="838" height="397" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6dlAofnnywkuNKeHU8f4EDj_2LxWEs4VtFOlNuGY80nsps9honJHEdgIqR8GZa8yAgPPI3Tq_iRN2cFSB5nmrotie8ZNBmpC9cJBNSbRXWRDcrw9WNjpunpM0r7j_NEJ1fGhmPyzem601/w400-h397/Screen+Shot+2021-09-21+at+7.57.11+AM.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span><p></p>jimmyloganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09385541672488191909noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2407613104681349566.post-4711822704370306662021-09-20T17:52:00.002-07:002021-09-20T17:52:32.835-07:00Gencon 2021<p>Well, as I type this, Gencon 2021 is currently underway. I miss it. No ifs ands or buts about it, I miss it. Covid has done a number on things like this, so it wouldn't be the same experience even if it was where I could go this year. I hope my friends that do attend get to have a good time.</p><p>Meanwhile, I have a friend coming in from out of town this weekend as he's passing through from one job site to another and we are getting together to play some games! Just a quiet little thing, but I'll try to share some pics... He's a big x-wing fan and even provided me with my movement templates, focus tokens, etc. to use! Sadly, I've not TOUCHED my x-wing stuff other than to move the bags from the old white truck when I sold it to the Ford.</p><p>I plan to take Gaslands as well, so hopefully we'll get a chance to play that too... Randy has been a long time off and on player in my PBEM games, and we actually met in person in Indy a few years ago. He was working in Louisville, I think it was, and made the drive to Indy to meet me and Biff from Shuttle Tyderium podcast and some other local guys (all friendly, all accepting, and all fun to be around!) to play X-Wing at a local store. I remember it was raining as I drove from Kyle's house out to the game store.</p><p>Anyway, same guy - he's going out of his way to stop in Dyersburg so we can get together. Looking forward to it!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT: Okay, no pics, but we had a blast! Played EPIC (huge ships)...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>jimmyloganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09385541672488191909noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2407613104681349566.post-20455837405666249722021-09-17T17:21:00.010-07:002021-09-17T17:31:39.070-07:00Social Media Fasting<p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">I get several emails a day.

It sounds weird to be sharing this on a blog that I will instantly link to from Facebook and Twitter, but the truth is I don't 'hang out' on Facebook like I used to. I don't sign in to Four Square (I think that's what it was called) any more - I don't sign in on Facebook either, unless it's a movie or concert or something that I specifically WANT to share.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Now if you do this, or 'live on Facebook,' I'm not judging. To some people, that may be the only life they have, which makes it even MORE important to me that when I share something it's something worth sharing. I think this is one of those things. :-)</p><p style="text-align: left;">What's even more astounding is that I received a promotional email about this very same book and immediately went to Libby to see if it was available via the app from the library. Alas, it was not to be, but that's okay. And the fact that I read this devotion passage today BEFORE I knew it was from this book... Well... You might believe in coincidence. I don't.

There are laws and police officers and judges that are supposed to help maintain order by bringing social punishment to those that break the law. This is not something I had actually put thought to, but it's true!</p><p>What about personal protection? In this day and age of 'guns are bad' it can be socially UN-acceptable to take responsibility for your personal or family's protection, but I maintain that this is NOT avenging in the sense of revenge, but is protecting from evil by stopping a threat.</p><p>A fellow church member said very tongue in cheek to me, "the Bible says to carry a gun!" When asked to elaborate he quoted this from Luke 22, verse 36 - "he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one." Yes, he meant that particular quote as tongue in cheek, but at the same time as Strauss points out, we are defenders as described in Psalm 82:3 NIV - "Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed."</p><p>So in addition to being defenders of the faith, I believe we are correct in being prepared to defend the weak. Who is the weak? Anyone that faces a deadly threat! If they were stronger than the threat, it would not be a grave or deadly threat.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWbWtlG0yH3H_W2lJOhZJZ4sd3QyLFPrWn94Dba_vDjvl0ajtot9EuV5O3XPsU31rk9qU2bqrzoWRNt76TnFJr3JUcZ_3XNGLyHBK0eVwBnzpcIr-oCFhKEoz94tNWfzmgQaKBev5-Ajv3/s1178/Screen+Shot+2021-09-16+at+9.59.13+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1178" data-original-width="868" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWbWtlG0yH3H_W2lJOhZJZ4sd3QyLFPrWn94Dba_vDjvl0ajtot9EuV5O3XPsU31rk9qU2bqrzoWRNt76TnFJr3JUcZ_3XNGLyHBK0eVwBnzpcIr-oCFhKEoz94tNWfzmgQaKBev5-Ajv3/s320/Screen+Shot+2021-09-16+at+9.59.13+PM.png" width="236" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>jimmyloganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09385541672488191909noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2407613104681349566.post-39886038768003416032021-09-10T10:26:00.000-07:002021-09-10T10:26:28.007-07:00Old stuff...<p>Talk about ramblings! </p><p>I found an old draft of a post here where I had made mention of things I wanted to 'talk about...' In no certain order...</p><p>We had gone North to see Kyle and family. I found some bronze age issues I was looking for. I don't know now what they were, but that's exciting finding stuff "in the wild." Here lately with other hobbies and especially house repairs that need to be made, I've not 'enjoyed' my comics like I used to. The Doomsday Clock 12 issue was a GREAT read, as well as Heroes in Crisis, but a lot of the other stuff just didn't stick with me... I even subbed to DC Ultimate for a few months to catch up on Flash and Green Lantern. I hate to say it, but it just didn't hold me...</p><p>The notes also mentioned watching Vanessa fly her drone in Kentucky. That must have been at Owensboro. It is REALLY a very pretty place! When we went to Kyle's over the summer we stopped there on the trip back and got a hotel room overlooking the water. We had supper from the in house restaurant (chicken fingers/strips) and ate on the patio. VERY very nice. Thanks, babe, for a wonderful time!</p><p>Looks like I mentioned the THIRD season of The Flash television show. LOL - I think they just finished season SEVEN, so yeah, that's some old notes... I noted that the first episode was called Flashpoint and the second was called Paradox. I thought it was cool how they got the name of the animated show in there. :-) If you haven't seen said show, check it out!</p><p>I had watched Steampunk'd on Netflix as well. Though I'm not one for 'reality' shows, I really enjoyed this! I had planned to do some Steampunk stuff for cosplay, but never got around to it. Last year for Halloween, though, I did make a Golden Age Flash (Jay Garrick, from the comics) outfit to wear to school. :-) Had planned to wear it to Superman Days, but it was delayed for Covid and the weekend they were having it didn't work out for us.</p><p>Looks like the game Unspeakable Words came in around these notes as well. It was a kickstarter that I did in hopes of having it for playing at Thanksgiving. Well, it was delayed a LOT, but I finally got it, and I don't think we've played a full game of it yet. :-(</p><p>But Saturday night is game night at Tammy's house, so maybe I can remember to take it and we can give it a try then!</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidexCmu3Cn2qsZgd36csLm1tB5oQWzCYtS0SQFpJzNWJdxUiown54ukOfILkgm-py6Fkv_N5QZvbkDG_HNY4mO8-PRBLabBaHHA50OfR6W_EX0oJZkoyNwK0TetYk_1Zcbao5-Iv3lP8L7/s1300/Screen+Shot+2021-09-08+at+10.43.13+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1300" data-original-width="636" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidexCmu3Cn2qsZgd36csLm1tB5oQWzCYtS0SQFpJzNWJdxUiown54ukOfILkgm-py6Fkv_N5QZvbkDG_HNY4mO8-PRBLabBaHHA50OfR6W_EX0oJZkoyNwK0TetYk_1Zcbao5-Iv3lP8L7/s16000/Screen+Shot+2021-09-08+at+10.43.13+PM.png" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>jimmyloganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09385541672488191909noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2407613104681349566.post-59365265935126069832021-09-08T05:46:00.001-07:002021-09-08T05:46:40.286-07:00Ramblings...<p> Well, the church has a new web page, thanks to Vanessa doing the lions share of the work so I could jump in and tweak some stuff. :-) </p><p>https://www.beechgrovebruceville.org</p><p>Though the site doesn't have a 'grand opening' yet, it is live, so check it out! The preacher has a blog called More Than Just Sunday and that reminded me that I haven't blogged in AGES, so thought I'd get back into the habit. :-)</p><p>We just had a long weekend at Kyle's and got to spend time with him, Devin and Emmett, who is now FOUR YEARS OLD - can you believe it? <sigh></p><p>I've been playing guitar and Vanessa is playing bass at church. A few weeks ago we had Homecoming and the two of us, plus Marty, Hope, Mitzi and Dena did the 'sunday school hour' as one long music service. Was lots of fun and we were honored to be used of God for such a purpose! Looking forward to getting back to a regular rehearsal schedule and learn some new songs...</p><p>Speaking of which, heard one that REALLY really touched me on the trip up to Kyle's. Will have to learn it and share it...</p><p>Have a great Wednesday! Go to church somewhere tonight!</p><p><br /></p>jimmyloganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09385541672488191909noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2407613104681349566.post-51678432840359718362017-12-12T22:56:00.000-08:002017-12-12T22:56:32.638-08:0012 of 12 December 2017I don't know how many pictures are coming up - I'm typing this before I upload them...<br />

I remembered again later in the day but then forgot during supper, etc. I was doing some cleaning and moving some stuff around when I remembered again. Turns out I took one extra.<br />

A Christian 'rapture' movie we picked up at Lifeway in Owensboro last week</div>

along with a study guide for War Room. We still haven't watched it.</div>
