The past two weeks we've reviewed, in Revelation chapters 4-15, the interplay of God’s judgement upon sin, but also protection of His followers and songs in heaven. Many are aware that Old Testament Psalms are a collection of songs passed down through centuries of Hebrew worship. In Revelation it may be surprising to also notice songs, while cataclysmic events are occurring on earth.
I’ve been working on a script with a producer named Eli.
I’m going to perform a show made from pieces of columns I’ve written over the years. I’ve been looking for themes and ideas and stringing them together, and I thought I’d done a pretty good job, so I sent off a draft to Eli.
“This is not what we talked about!” Eli told me.
I’m a political nerd, I know. I read multiple opinion columns on a daily basis and on occasion I agree with one or two.
But I read them, anyway.
We have gotten to the point in society where we don’t believe we have to listen to anything that does not fit our own narrative.
One person even told me they were not going to “put this in my spirit” as a response to some friendly concerns.
Kansas wheat harvest is a magical time. There is a buzz across the state created by the excitement of combines rolling through the golden fields, semis and old wheat trucks rolling across the scale at the local elevator and families coming together to take in the crop. Wheat harvest even has its own version of pixie dust as the chaff and dirt kicked up by the machinery help to make our sunsets vibrant and beautiful every night.
Wheat harvest is good for communities as the income to farmers and ag businesses fuels the local economy. It is a family tradition that teaches the next generation about supporting each other and often brings home other family members who have moved to other professions and communities. It’s a time of hard work, beauty, togetherness and hope.
Several weeks ago, Wall Street Journal columnist and former Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan wrote a column with the headline “We Are Starting to Enjoy Hatred.”
Her point was that, in our divided and polarized country, each side is no longer trying to “win over” those with whom they disagree. Sides are now just entrenched in hatred for each other.
