Horses

Then another horse came out, 

a fiery red one.

 Its rider was given power 

to take peace from the earth 

and to make people kill each other. 

To him was given a large sword.

~ Revelation 6

You And I

My beloved spoke and said to me, 

“Arise, my darling, 

my beautiful one, 

come with me...

~  Song of Songs 2

The Greta Garbo Home for Wayward Boys and Girls

Though my father and mother forsake me, 

the Lord will receive me.

 ~ Psalm 27

The Raven

 The ravens brought him bread and meat

 in the morning 

and bread and meat 

in the evening, 

and he drank from the brook.

~ 1 Kings 17

Jerry's Pigeons

To those who sold doves he said, 

“Get these out of here! 

Stop turning my Father’s house 

into a market!”

~  John 2

Night Owl

 I will howl like a jackal and moan like an owl.

~ Micah 1

RIP Phil Everly

Neil Portnow, president and CEO of the Recording Academy, issued a tribute statement late Friday. "Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Phil Everly was part of one of the most prominent vocal duos of the rock era. Joined by his brother Don in the Everly Brothers, the duo’s superb and flawless harmonies influenced some of music’s most iconic acts, including the Beach Boys and the Beatles. Their profound impact on pop and rock music is still heard today, and will continue to live on in future generations. Phil Everly was a groundbreaking artist, and he leaves an indelible and timeless mark on music and our industry. Our sincerest condolences go out to his family, friends and those who were inspired by his outstanding talent."

Paul Simon:

The Everly Brothers' impact exceeds even their fame. They were a big influence on John Lennon and Paul McCartney — who called themselves the Foreverly Brothers early on — and, of course, on Simon and Garfunkel. When we were kids, Artie and I got our rock & roll chops from the Everlys. Later, as Simon and Garfunkel, we put "Bye Bye Love" on Bridge Over Troubled Water, and much later, Phil and Don both sang on the song "Graceland."

Those who were musicians, 

heads of Levite families, 

stayed in the rooms of the temple

 and were exempt from other duties

 because they were responsible 

for the work day and night.

I know every bird in the mountains.

he will corrupt those

I'd Love To Be As Heavy As Jesus

were grumbling about this, 

Jesus said to them, 

“Does this offend you?"

How Deep Is The Ocean?

 Praise the Lord from the earth, 

you great sea creatures 

and all ocean depths...

 you will disown me three times!"
