Do We REALLY Need To Play a Musical Instrument??

Starnge Question given all the joy those who can play one and play it well can bring us – Right?
Well in the last 24 hours i have seen two things that cause me to seriously ask that question.
You are free to form your own opinion.

Bringing Creation and Evolution Closer Together

Science says the Universe began with a Big Bang over 13 billion years ago.
Creationists say the Universe began with a movement of God’s Spirit some 6000 years ago.
Few would say there is ANY similarity in those views.
The Problem with the current scientific understanding of what has happened immediately since the moment of the Big Bang [...]

The Life of a Cat (This Is Good)

I like seeing things from different perspectives and this one is a doozy – i give you…
Day 283 Of My Captivity.
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is [...]

A Quick Little Ditty

I have a confession:
i’m not ‘into’ hessian,
and a brown paper bag
is a bit of a drag.
What i find fantastic
is a bag made from plastic

I just did. My memories were of [...]

Jigsaw Pieces

I’ve ‘done’ my fair share of Jigsaws in my time.
At the start there is a jumbled mass of weird shapes that seem to make absolutely no sense whatsoever.
But we ‘know’ intuitively, or from past experiences, or the words of others whom we trust, that this jumble can actually be ’sorted’ and something beautiful may be [...]

Original Sin? What? Where?

I have heard many people talk of ‘Original Sin’ and make the claim that we are all ‘doomed’ and nothing but sinners as a result of it. That we can do nothing to overcome that fact as God Himself has ordained it and it is described in the Holy Scriptures of both Judaism and Christianity [...]

Emotion Too

Maybe, as some have detected, i am a bit of a mushy softy at times.
I prefer to think i can be in touch with my emotions at times.
I said in the previous post that music ‘touches’ my spirit.
I wonder if it can yours?
So here is a test:
Watch and listen to the video below. [...]

Emotion

Music is one of man’s finer inventions, i feel, having an almost umatched ability to reach inside each and every one of us and touch something deep within us in a meaningful way.
While looking up an artist for a comment i was making serendipity lead me to find something amazing that i had no idea [...]
