<\/a><\/div>\nOver the week just past, we were plying deep waters. You see, we can\u2019t just stay in the shallows and expect to get anywhere. You have to plot a course with confidence, prayer, faith, and with the courage that you can leave the sight of land behind and still live to tell the tale.<\/p>\n
There was Scripture 1A<\/a>, then rough weather<\/a>,\u00a0 a hunting obsessed<\/a> saint, and Scripture 1B<\/a>. Then we had an obituary<\/a> and a calling<\/a> and scary parenting<\/a> posts. And we can\u2019t forget Belloc!<\/a> Wrapping up\u00a0 Belloc\u2019s book with the chapter on the Modern Phase<\/a> reminded me of this song by The Doors.\u00a0 Riders on the Storm. \u201cInto this house were born, into this world were thrown<\/em>.\u201d In my mind, I can assign roles to each of the characters Jim Morrison sings about here: the riders, the actor, the killer, the girl, the man. How about you?<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DKbPUzhWeeI<\/a>\n The Byrds, Turn, Turn, Turn.<\/i> The roots of this Pete Seeger song? Hint: it\u2019s from Frank\u2019s favorite Old Testament book. Yeah, you guessed it, Ecclesiastes (see chapter 3<\/a>). Because everything I know (about this world) I learned from Ecclesiastes.\u00a0 I even built a Facebook page<\/a> with that title. I must say that I\u2019m very glad The Word<\/i> decided to follow-up and make some of Qoheleths observations obsolete. Most of them are still on target though.<\/p>\n

Still reflecting on some of last weeks posts, I put together this mix of songs for your listening pleasure. Some may not be pleasurable, though. Indeed you may find some irritating, grating, or troubling even. But stay the course, and I think you will be pleased and uplifted, somewhere between the rock and the hard-place. <\/p>\n
