Praise the Lord

No, I'm not on drugs again. I'm just feeling all religiousy today and I do love this song. All you heathens can go to hell if you don't like it.

Although I really can't imagine how even an atheist's godless heart might not be inspired by this ... at least a little bit. I could be wrong.

The song is also so appropriate to my own goings on right now, I figured why the heck not share with the people? Hallelujah everyone!

    I love it! My mother is a southern baptist and I grew up listening to gospel music. I'll send you some of my favorite songs.

    I got an email from a devout atheist friend of mine, and apparently I was mistaken; they're not so easily inspired after all. This did nothing for her whatsoever. My bad for presuming, but whatever. I still like it anyway, but I also like it that she didn't. She's coolness.

    And thanks to Rain for being the sole commenter on my God post. Fuckin' A there, I really didn't expect anything. Still haven't gotten the songs, though.

    I appreciate moving songs/music...don't have to believe in the God involved. People wish all gays were atheists, would make their cleansing job so much easier.

    You're very welcome Doug! I'll take goodness in any shape or form. I'm not ashamed to admit that yes I'm a liberal and yes I believe in God.

    I'm liberal to an extreme, gay to the max, and still seem to get along just fine with God & Son. Diane is right, the cleansing would be much easier for some if only! And yep, Rain, like you, goodness in any shape or form. Hell, this song is completely Christian I know, I on the other hand have a broader personal spiritual thing not so pigeonholed, but do love Christian music. Alongside some dirty songs, too, of course.

I Think

I think I'm bored blogging. I think I'm done with it. I think what's the point? I think you should check out my blogroll instead. I think they say stuff better anyway.

Betty White "needs to start taking her relationship with God serious." Seriously?

I was one of those grassroots Facebook campaigners responsible for Betty White hosting Saturday Night Live the other night, so for that, let me just say: "You're very welcome!" I thought she was fantastic, better even than I had expected she might be, and by most accounts her coming on the show was a huge success. Except for some, who apparently had more eternal concerns weighing on their minds, precluding enjoying it so much. Like Jose, who while conceding that Betty White is legend "in this day and age of rebels and rockers" (I really don't know what that means, but it seems to be a good thing), is more concerned about her afterlife appearance instead, presumably being so old as she is. A legend, sure ... "However, I think Betty really needs to start taking her relationship with God serious. Betty can't please this new generation, she has nothing to prove to them. Her relationship with the Lord is what she needs to take serious." Well, all...

It Could Happen

I was digging deep again, as I do every year or so, into my box of keepsakes and relics that I really don't know why I kept them but did. Stuff I wrote as a kid (some of that, I must say, rather disturbing), old letters of the real life mailed sort, newspaper clippings of miscellany, that have strangely yellowed and gotten brittle already and that shit just ain't right since it seems not so long ago ... whatever, I'm getting old. From the Kansas City Kansan , newspaper that we got delivered daily, Friday, July 25, 1975, I had cut out and kept this one particular article headlined "Youngster completes first novel." I was always writing as a kid, so I remember very well snipping this one item, on account of the twelve-years-old youngster was my same age, and I very much wanted my own novel published. Of course I hadn't written it yet, but I figured this proved I could do it, too, kept it for an affirmation thingy. Over the years I've remembered saving that s...
