Classical Ride: May 2011
http://theclassicmc.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
You must pray that the way be long, full of adventures and experiences." - Constantine Peter Cavafy. Tuesday, May 10, 2011. This is the End. It's about a week before I graduate. So admittedly it hurts a bit. Leaving it all behind. I'm not cool with the emotions and the petty warfare of change. It's undermining my stoic creed. I'm a hopeless romantic albeit. I'm telling the story in my mind. I don't like goodbyes, they make my throat hurt, I need more hellos". I sure wanted to leave something behind. ...

Classical Ride: July 2011

You must pray that the way be long, full of adventures and experiences." - Constantine Peter Cavafy. Friday, July 22, 2011. Our God is greater. Our God is stronger. God you are higher than any other. Our God is Healer. Chris Tomlin, "Our God". This is an arrogance I can be proud of. We can be famous for any number of things, but as that pioneering Christian rock band Audio Adrenaline said, We're "never gonna be as big as Jesus." What are we doing to look out for His reputation? I don't know about that...

Classical Ride: The Quixote Project

You must pray that the way be long, full of adventures and experiences." - Constantine Peter Cavafy. Saturday, December 15, 2012. And I am certainly lost in my mind often enough). It causes me to wonder, if in my young life, without the still limited experience and knowledge I have now acquired, I could invent worlds of considerable detail, then what, pray tell is my mind currently capable of? There is no dignity in the project of which I'm sure you have guessed that I intend to endeavor. It is a jou...

Classical Ride: April 2011

You must pray that the way be long, full of adventures and experiences." - Constantine Peter Cavafy. Friday, April 29, 2011. For the Spiritually Sound. I designate in the title the audience I seek to reach. I don't mean to confuse those wavering or those struggling with disbelief, but to those who know God is God, and God is good. I was reading Philip Yancey, as I am prone to do, and I came across some spiritually devastating thoughts. He was essaying the book of Job. He wrote:. So here I am grappling wi...

Classical Ride: November 2011
http://theclassicmc.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
You must pray that the way be long, full of adventures and experiences." - Constantine Peter Cavafy. Saturday, November 19, 2011. I know that Jesus is real. I've never been able to shake that. That's always been something of a secular problem for me, and my spirit just loves that upper hand. So this I know. I am a cynic and I can argue on both sides of the existence of God and Jesus as Lord. I could be an atheist's best friend in an argument. So I know that. So what? You can let that go! Look at me, look!

Classical Ride: December 2012

You must pray that the way be long, full of adventures and experiences." - Constantine Peter Cavafy. Tuesday, December 25, 2012. I have been given the opportunity to become very, very sad. Could I make myself put it down after that? I can't be sure, but in the empty pockets it leaves behind I feel like I never have. I have the opportunity to shine. But that opportunity doesn't come to visit very often. I'm in my room and it's early Christmas morning. I have the opportunity to be very, very sad. I sometim...

Classical Ride: The Thin Red Line
http://theclassicmc.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-thin-red-line.html
You must pray that the way be long, full of adventures and experiences." - Constantine Peter Cavafy. Tuesday, April 23, 2013. The Thin Red Line. Then it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, 'ow's yer soul? But it's "Thin red line of 'eroes" when the drums begin to roll,. I have often wondered to myself:. What is this war between people? What is it that makes them unable to ignore wrongdoing? How can they harbour ill feelings? It's a thin red line we stand behind. April 24, 2013 at 8:18 PM. Welcome t...

Classical Ride: March 2011

You must pray that the way be long, full of adventures and experiences." - Constantine Peter Cavafy. Saturday, March 12, 2011. The entropy in the universe needs little help. In David Platt's book Radical. He comments on Jesus' habit of "turning away thousands of people." He writes:. We'll never get on the list of the fastest-growing movements if you keep asking them to eat you.". I'll say it sounds different. It sounds weird. We gravitate away from these verses in Sunday school. It puts me in...No, Mr...

Classical Ride: October 2011

You must pray that the way be long, full of adventures and experiences." - Constantine Peter Cavafy. Wednesday, October 26, 2011. What I want to walk across in so many words, is the bridge that it makes. The one I just talked about between the parodoxical stations of time. Because it does that, I think, it is a "balm to the soul.". It's a relationship. The music can be our voice in anger, grief, envy, joy, or any number of feelings that we want to let loose into a conduit. But music heals too. Searching ...

Classical Ride: January 2012

You must pray that the way be long, full of adventures and experiences." - Constantine Peter Cavafy. Friday, January 27, 2012. I was the hero of every song I heard. It is only recently that I have heard songs and known I was the villain. For the first time the hero was singing and telling of my misdeeds. Telling of my menace. And that is a devil of a realization to come to. So just what is it I've become? God is "the master of my fate [and] the captain of my soul." So what? I believe I am a testimony.
