Tuesday May 6th we will be having our primary here in NC so decided to record and post this song. Ever since 9-11 fear has been such a key element of politics in America and has funded a good deal of violence. I have not thought the same about violence, war, and Christian participation in it since 9-11 and have been on a bit of a theological journey, but regardless of where you are now, have been , will be I hope we can agree that as Christians are vocation is to be God’s peacemakers. As peacemakers I can’t imagine being controlled by fear and even feeling better about our place in the world because as a nation we are at war. I can’t imagine it, but I know the feeling too well.
btw: I use a dirty word in the song so don’t listen if you don’t want to hear it. I think i use it theologically but now you know it is there.
I am remembering just now our conversation on 9-13-01 after the chapel speaker from the Baptist Peace Fellowship of North America. I thought you were just another “one of those guys,” but I’ve enjoyed the transformative conversations ever since. I realize even more now that you’re “one of these guys.”
Still one of my all time favorite songs of yours.
Nice tune man. I really like that.
Dude, I knew you were brilliant, but who knew you could sing too!? Sweet!
