the blogosphere hasn't heard from the timewalker in a while now, has it!?
I would like to most eloquently thank everybody for being utterly patient in waiting upon my return to this medium. For a long while, well perhaps over a year, I pondered a lot but didn't feel fit enough as a writer to jot down thoughts onto a blog. What was stopping me? Perfectionism. What stops every artist from doing what they're supposed to do with a great freedom that we only put ourselves in the way of? Perfectionism. Why did Beethoven only write nine symphonies in all his years of being the great composer that he was? Perfectionism... but, they're slap bang brilliant symphonies, aren't they!?
My heart has been crying for more of God. I have been filling it with more of worries and concerns for my own life... and I haven't been letting his word permeate my heart... and the corners of my heart have been dark and filled with the secret sins that I think I can hold onto so dearly and ever so closely without being found out... well, the deal is that all will be exposed to the light someday... and God sees everything. So, as my good housemate, Christian, and I were talking tonight, we discussed seeking God's judgement before the actual judgement... desiring the process of living for his kingdom by asking for him to continually purify us with a judgement that we receive in this life to make us more prepared for the judgement we will receive at the end of all days... wow, deep discussion, eh? Well, I don't know the answer to that and it left me hanging my head in wonderment... but, it made for a good discussion... amongst other things such as realizing we can no longer sleep but we must wake up and know these times and prepare for the worst...
Have you lit a candle today? Light one for the Saviour of all souls, Jesus Christ, in order that it may represent that you are a "light that shines in the darkness..." and know that "the darkness shall not overcome you..."

liverpool and the cavern club...
I'm just beginning to look at the video I shot in the UK last year. Here's a snippet of footage from my time at the Cavern Club in Liverpool - where the Beatles made their break in '61/'62.

Ringo and Rambo...
...have absolutely nothing to do with each other, but I've been intrigued by these two "name will sell their work alone" entertainment entities this week.
I've always loved Ringo Starr's post-Beatles work as well as his very charming childlike sing-along anthems of the fab four days. Back in 2000, when I graduated from college and came back home to the Twin Cities, I was in a brief period of not really having anyone to hang out with, I was looking for a church home and I was also trying to figure out what I should do for a job. So, having an abundance of free time, I went to the Taste of Minnesota in St. Paul to see Ringo for free. I danced and sang my heart out in the front row right against the stage and saw this man give a very engaging performance with an All-Starr line-up of musicians who played with other famous bands in the past. It will always be a day I will remember with fondness.
He is certainly aging (you can hear it in his voice), but Ringo still has the energy and enthusiasm to deliver. This comes through on his latest album called "Liverpool 8", which was released a week or two ago. I definitely recommend it. Here is the music video that was made for the title track...

long acronyms...
SEARCH BEYOND (Spirit-Empowered Alliance of Radical Churches Bridging Endeavors for Yahweh's Omnipresent Network of Divinity)...
...yeah, it's kinda long, isn't it?!?!
Well, I talked about my trip tonight at church. It went fine. I was kind of non-linear in my delivery though. I think once I had my video playing, I was able to tie everything together much better.
I shouldn't be so hard on myself, I guess. I'm just glad that I got through it. We'll see where God takes this one...

a song that transcended time
I found this tonight. As a songwriter, I really appreciate Billy Joel's analysis and dramatic "acting out" of his recollection of the first time he heard A Day in the Life by the Beatles...
