Greetings Dear Reader,
What’s the buzz? Any
news? Did you hear about the new
ap? How do you inquire about what is
trending in the world? We want to know
what is going on. “You got to keep up to
know what’s going down.”
Our society is geared in many ways to chase whatever trend
is at the peak of the news, entertainment, or our Twitter feed. Information about what is new or popular is
not bad. It is the question about what
is trending that captures my attention.
With so many things rushing at us to demand our time and attention, I
must filter what gets in. I must monitor
which trends I choose to give my time and effort.
One of the requirements of following Christ is to be able to
be accountable for all that I do. It is
to bring into captivity every thought so that they are focused on faith and
following. The point is to choose where
I will focus and to know why I focus there.
It is my responsibility to control what I do with my time and attention
relative to what has focus.
I am going to spend some time on some of the larger trends
and determine what will be both my filter and my standard. You are welcome in the conversation Dear
Reader. Your thoughts and questions will
always trend with me. Let us walk
together a bit and sharpen our focus on what matters.
Oh, and I realize that this song is very dated. It is still worth a listen. The title is always a link to the song in my
blog.
They
Won’t Tell You – Dion
Good Morning America glad to tune you in,
The days of our lives are playing around to the end
On the morning examine you find the price is right.
Your mid-day romance you’ll find on the edge of night.
And we’ll take a pause to tell you what you need
To get through the days of our lives and to succeed,
A pill for pain, some soap to clean you up,
A brand-new car, and some coffee to fill your cup.
But they won’t tell you what you need to know
That Jesus paid the price to save your soul.
TV keeps you strung out on the pleasures of this world,
While the radio keeps you hooked on rock ‘n roll.
I tell you now it don’t make no sense at all,
But it’s been that way ever since the fall
The powers of darkness trying to do you in
Driving you deeper and deeper into your sin
Now it’s time to turn on the evening news.
But I’d rather hear Muddy Waters sing the blues.
You gotta keep up to know what’s going down,
Who’s winning and losing; which side’s gaining ground.
A little bit later we’ll turn on some comic relief,
Something funny to make you show your teeth,
A fantasy island to help you get away,
A celebrity show to see what they got to say.
But you won’t find it on the Johnny Carson show,
And Norman Lear won’t put you in the know,
Archie Bunker will say goodbye when the season ends,
But Jesus will always be your friend.
I tell you there’s just one way to go;
Turn on your life and turn of the picture show
Stand in the love and the light of reality,
Accept him as Lord and he will make you free.
But you find it in the People Magazine
The Truth; the Life, the One who makes you clean
Charlie’s Angels cannot save you from the darkness in this
world
Barnaby Jones, he cannot clue you in the know.
But they won’t tell you what you need to know
That Jesus paid the price to save your soul.
TV keeps you strung out on the pleasures of this world,
While the radio keeps you hooked on rock ‘n roll.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every
writer who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a
homeowner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”
