set list 1

I’ve decided that I have a gift that has been untapped by the music industry. I should be in charge of every band’s set list when they play shows. Since I completely music illiterate this will probably be a series of four blogs…because I only listen to four bands. I suggest we start with my new fav…coldplay. If I went to one of their shows this is the set list they should play and in this order.


1. Speed of Sound
2. Clocks
3. In My Place
4. Green Eyes
5. Everything is Not Lost
6. Moses
7. God Put a Smile on Your Face
8.. Politik
9. Amsterdam
10. Don’t Panic
11. The Scientist
12. Yellow
13. Life is for Living
14. Fix you
15. Till Kingdom Come


Coldplay… you are welcome,

Carney

a year of living biblically


I finished A.J. Jacobs book…the year of living biblically. I know that I’ve communicated that I’d finished it already to some of you and I pretty much, but I finally completed all of the reading. This was one of those, the last chapter was the best one, type books. A.J.’s approach is like that of the enlightenment. I think he’d even admit that. But I think he’s really open to being impacted by God and that is communicated through the pages. I facebook messaged him. I don’t know why I do this, but this is the second author who I’ve tried to contact after finishing their work this month. I told A.J. this. At one point in my life I would have hoped that his journey concluded with his finding Jesus. Instead he found something that was sacred and authentic for A.J. at this point in his life. There is a hint of fundamentalism in me. I still hope he does find Jesus, but can I confess that I was moved by his experience. I hope if A.J. doesn’t get around to knowing Jesus that he gets a Cornelius clause or an Emeth the Tarkan clause in his contract or something. I suppose this is a round about way of saying you should pick up the book sometime.

the red, white, and blue Jesus

Amazing!!! I'm watching super Tuesday stuff and Mike I heart Huckabee opened up a speech with a pair of sly biblical references.

Rev. 19:20

"But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur."

this win was for all the fans who have hated the Yankees, Lakers, and in the last decade the Patriots.

on a different note it could have been that Lindsay and I watched the super bowl couped up in our house recovering from sickness by ourselves, but Joe Buck and Troy Aikman (as good as they have been in the regular season) seemed strikingly bored considering. After Manning escaped and David Tyree made that catch in the same play...how about a "holy crackers" or a "that might have been one of the most acrobatic plays ever!" I thought to myself, "well maybe that wasn't really that great, in the middle of the greatest upset in super bowl history." But then I flipped over to ESPN for the post game show and took in the greatness that is Chris Burman who confirmed my suspicions with narration that only he can provide.

well that is all about that.

super bowl 24 or was it 42

just to show how much I could care less about this super bowl, I've decided to post about how much I don't care about it at halftime.

I mean really the giants and the patriots who have become sports' new New York Yankees. If we were going to make this biblical it would have to be Jacob vs Bathsheba.

Jacob of course like the Patriots because both were decietful in their getting to the top so to speak

and

Bathsheba like the giants because somehow they stumbled into something special and I can't really not like them because they are victim-like

the new perspective on paul...check that "hell"

If hell is like this I don't want to go. I'm sick and I've decided that if the best part of your day is throwing up because of the 15 afterwards in which you feel relief, things are not good.

Pray for my family if you would. Roy is in the middle of this, hopefully getting better. Lindsay is not sick, which is key because baby carn-dog 2 and needing someone to help roy and I am at the threshold of hell.
