THE HARBINGERS OF FALL The harbingers of Fall Are warnings to us all, It’s downhill from here Despite how it appears. There’s no point complaining About the dying of the light No point maintaining That things are just as bright. Instead, there’s beauty in the falling As leaves complete their calling To live and then to die Like sunsets in the sky There’s no point in regretting What’s gone forever more But remember, not forgetting What...

Rick Beyer has a whole series of books with titles similar to this one. This one however just deals with the back stories to popular tunes, and I’ve seldom had as much fun as I did in reading this during the summer. There are lots of surprises in and about this book.

There is an excellent article in the NY Times involving the current editor of Christianity Today, Russell Moore, the former head of the Ethics committee of the Southern Baptist Denomination, and Tish Harrison Warren, a writer for the NY Times.

What I noticed about this exchange: 1) Tyson doesn’t deny that biology is binary– your chromosomes don’t lie. You are biologically either male or female unless you are born abnormally formed physically speaking. Tyson does not (and cannot deny this). So there is no ‘gender spectrum’ in terms of how one is born, biologically or genetically (which includes no evidence as of yet of a gay gene that would incline someone in a same sex direction; 2) this means that...

Even though you can fly, For some reason I, Must ask you why, You’re hitching a ride in my car. I wish I had wings And could do all the things That flying can bring But alas, my ‘wings’ are sub-par. The thing about flying And I am not lying It involves more than just jumping and trying. I’ve learned that much so far. Even moths must come down And rest on the ground And eat what... Read more
