It Sure is a Process - Clabo

Hey y'all, my brain is dead, and I'm sure that yours are too. However, I'm going to do my best to get across to you what I got out of these passages. I think one of my overall thoughts of this book is that it highlights and shows the intricate details of the progression of a Christian and his/her walk with Christ. Personally, I reflected a lot with this book in that I know that all of the unfortunate things I have gone through have served a purpose. They have pushed me to be closer to God and trust in Him more. Now, have a lot of those unfortunate things been brought upon by myself? Possibly, but nonetheless, God has used them to further my relationship with Him. I may not be completely on base with my discussion, but this is what came to my mind as I was reading through the sections. 

Overall, our sins as human beings come with the plan of redemption from and through God. That is one of the most important and main things I thought of regarding this book?

What are y'alls thoughts on this? 

P.S. I commented on Haylee Lynd's and Addison Zanda's posts.

    Trust in God is definitely a key aspect in your walk with Him. Think back with Paul in Acts 27. One of Paul's most important journeys was to Rome. He didn't get there quite the way he had expected. God is never out of control! He knows how to work things out so that the results are even better than we expected. Trusting God with your plans is a surefire plan for love and strong faith.

    I am glad to hear that I am not the only way that had a lot of reflecting to do while reading this. A lot of the deeper literature of the Church causes us to do that! It was refreshing though to read something that actually made me think rather than same of the mediocre writings that seem to dominate our culture today.

    Reading this was a good reminder to me that the Christian walk is a journey. Reading this was a good reminder to me that I have a lot of growing to do. This also made me do a lot of self-evaluation of myself and has pushed me to do better as a Christian.

Word Painting in Vesta—Lily Caswell

  Word painting in Weelkes’s As Vesta Was from Latmos Hill Descending is quite interesting. And because that is a really long title, I’m calling it Vesta from now on. Word painting is basically when the melody matches up with the lyrics. So in Vesta, when it says “ascending” and “descending”, there are obviously scales going up and down. The madrigal was written for six voices to sing unaccompanied, so when they start to come together, it matches with the lyrics; so if the lyric says “two by two”, there are only two voices; “three by three” there is another voice added, and so forth. All the parts combine in exclamation before Vesta before it is left “all alone” to the highest soprano. All the way to the end of the piece, word painting continues when shouts of “Long live fair Oriana” with the bass sustaining long notes. Word painting in and of itself is a highly interesting topic because a musician takes the words of a poem or a sonnet and writes a melody line that pertains to cer...

The Dark Side of Justice // Jessef Leslie

  When we hear the word justice we think of righteousness, piety, and triumph. The feeling it brings is one of the good guy winning and the bad guy being put in his place. The issue in these definitions and connotations is they leave out vengeance. Vengeance is a part of justice just like odd numbers are a part math and it isn't to be left out. In The Eumenides by Aeschylus, vengeance is personified as three female deities called Furies " Apollo: 'Gorgons I'd call them; but then with Gorgons you'd see the grim, inhuman... These have no wings, I looked. But black they are, and so repulsive. Their heavy, rasping breath makes me cringe. And their eyes ooze a discharge, sickening, and what they wear - … sacrilege!'" (Aeschylus, (Robert Fagles, 232). They are described as nasty almost human like creatures seen as evil. They chase Orestes, Agamemnon's son, for murdering his mother. The Furies represent his mother's, Clytemnestra, rage and revenge as he...
