It is (Lord willing) the last day of deadline,
before this wonderful Norma Jean issue goes to press.
I'm jamming out to some heavy, dark, doomy goth music.
No candles, but it is quite enjoyable for laying out articles, placing ads, and editing the "Hard News bullets."
"I will never leave you nor forsake you."
This is an amazing promise that has gotten His people through some dark and terrible times. Praise His Name.
PS About the comment about the anti-rock people:
Don't waste your time arguing with them. Have you ever tried to talk a racist out of his/her false belief that skin colors has anything to do with the value of a person? It doesn't do any good. These people have dug in and entrenched themselves with an idea. They usually are some of the most stubborn people you'll ever meet. They equate changing their minds on the issue to losing their faith. They just won't let go.
It's sad how some people get down to "God told me so," when you boil it down, or they get desperate. Interpreting Scriptures, like, "I hate your festivals..." and "...your strange fire..." and "...unacceptable sacrifices..." get used to suit the argument that a certain style of music is what God is talking about.
sigh.
