now playing: how does a duck know?


now playing: how does a duck know?




about: okay so this is a really weird song. i don't really recommend it, but if you want to read the lyrics, they're here. the thing is, i don't really love this song as a song per se, but i do like to listen to it because it takes me back to another time in my life. crash test dummies big hit was mmmm mmmm mmmm mmmm; perhaps you rememer it. but i got the album (i think it was 1994 or so) and i listened to it a bunch my freshman year at college. i thought i was pretty cool listening to such avant garde stuff with lyrics like, "How come all my body parts so nicely fit together?All my organs doing their jobs, no help from me!"
anyway, when it comes on the ipod shuffle, it takes me back to another time, when i had left high school and was forging a new identity in a new world for me. so these are good memories. and the song if filled with good questions, too. i mean, how does a duck know what direction south is? is all of life instinct?

bad haircuts (for a laugh)

everybody needs to laugh.  one good way i have found to make that happen is to do a simple google image search for 'bad haircut.'  when you do so, some of the following gems show up.  thankfully, my 9th grade school picture does NOT show up.  otherwise, it would certianly make this list!  please laugh freely and without inhibition.  thank you and have a nice day.

affirmed

i cannot express today the feeling i have. this picture that i found sort of expresses it but not really. for the last ten years i have poured myself into this vocation, daring to believe that God, the very God of all creation, has called me, even me, to this work. along the way many have affirmed me in this journey, but i have continued to work for the ultimate affirmation, ordination as an elder in the united methodist church. and now i have it. after two grueling (and i mean grueling in every possible sense, really) days i recieved the call today that the board voted to recommend me to the annual conference for ordination as an elder. and as i have already said, i cannot even begin to express the emotion i feel with words like relief, joy and satisfaction. there will be plenty of time for me to reflect on this and i will have more to say about it as i do that reflecting, but today is really a day for celebrating for me, and for thanking those who have journeyed with me and s...
