My brain's REALLY on overdrive this morning and I feel like a vacation day coming on; which is better than feeling like a cold coming on. But then, that makes me wonder if any of us have ever felt a cold going off...the linguistically logical opposite of the usual saying? And would that 'going off' be a gradual fading into the sunset or a mighty Big Bang Explosion? Well, Nevermind...a place I visit like Never Land...here goes with "Don't Stop" cranking down here in Stonewalled Charismatic Presbyterian Church!!I WONDER:
1.) Have any of you ever actually READ the lyrics to "Don't Stop," that great, upbeat music by Fleetwood Mac?!! IT'S A STINKING DEAR-JOHN-CAN'T-WE-JUST-BE-FRIENDS letter written by Christine McVie!!!!!! Go ahead, check it out at [http://www.lyricsfreak.com/f/fleetwood+mac/dont+stop_20054276.html]...My favorite lines are, "If your life was bad to you, just think what tomorrow will do." Well, OK...it sucked then, it'll probably suck tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow as it creeps in its petty pace...a tale told by an idiot to rock and roll music!! (Tip of the hat and semi-apologies to Willy Shakespeare) The only people who can take these lyrics joyfully are them thar Born Agains who KNOW for absolute certain that 'tomorrow will take care of itself' because 'God CAUSES ALL things to work together for [their] good' and HEAVEN is on the other side of these years' vale of tears!!! "Dontcha Look Back" IS, however, good advice to you BACs, based on the fact that you're now perfect in Christ and the indwelling Spirit can clean up the crap that's STILL part of your personality!! OOORAH!!!
2.) Since there's a Ma-gog and a Gog mentioned in Ezekiel (yesterday's read whilst awaiting my buddy's surgery outcome), was there a Pa-gog to help Ma-gog create Gog? Were they drinking grog? Or was Grog from the 'B.C.' comic strip a distant cousin? Was Hamon-gog the previous incarnation to Hamon-rye? With Swiss? Before or after invading Israel for some Kosher dills to go with that deli delight?!!
3.) If any of you Old Testament scholars...WITHOUT TURNING TO DANIEL CHAPTER 1... can tell me the Jewish names of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego? OR...what was Old Danny Boy's pagan nom de plume? And does 'nom de plume' only count as true if you write with a quill pen?
4.) Why BACs who get told 'not to judge others'...i.e., don't hold anyone accountable for their sin... based on Matthew 7:1 by either fellow BACs or non-BACs ever point out, winsomely of course, that we are COMMANDED to 'judge righteously' in John 7:21-24 AND Matthew 7:15-16 tells us to 'beware of false prophets' and 'you will know them by their fruit;' which means you have to have a standard, measure them against it, and then JUDGE how they measure up WITHOUT being judgmental...check out Galatians 6:1-2 for the logical followup?!!
5.) If all those slices of Wonder Bread I ate as a kid are the reason I wonder so much? Oh, and in answer to "I wonder, wonder who ba-doo-oouu, who wrote the Book of Love?"...God, did, of course...not that stupid one the Monotones sang about back in 1958 (the year I started collecting baseball cards)...but the REAL one known as the Bible!!
6.) Speaking of bread...I REALLY wonder how 'Bimbo'...pronounced 'Beembo'...Bread can have the chutzpah to prostitute the word like that...pun obviously intended? Of course, maybe Hamon-rye with Swiss on Bimbo (pronounce it properly!!) with a Kosher dill would make a delightful lunch...washed down with that delicious beer made by those 'Chinese brothers' Mr. Yueng and Mr. Ling?
Got table for two?
