Kimmy's Ponderings

"There were bells on the hill But I never heard them ringing, No, I never heard them at all Till there was you." I have had the song 'Till There Was You,' from the Musical, The Music Man echoing within the cranium for days now. I'm such a nerd. Yes.... I sang it. Alone. And I cried. ....Of course! Then laughed...with joy. Of course! It's no wonder that the Beatles and Ray Charles recorded this lilting love-ly melody. Even Adam Sandler had a sweet little old lady sing it in the movie, 'The Wedding Singer.' That's where I heard it again last weekend...... channel surfing. Of Course. I couldn't hear the bells either. I once heard but couldn't hear and saw but couldn't see....Till Jesus came into my heart. All has been changed. All has been made new and I will never be the same again. ....' in Your Light we see Light. I have been made to see Life and Light....Christ. My Ears that hear and My Eyes that see, The Lord is the Creator of the...

( The Thrush is a small forest bird. Thrush are known for their beautiful song) I rent an apartment on a property that I have nicknamed 'Coleman Forest' after my Landlord's Name. It has a Pennsylvania-like density of trees that loom neck bending high above the house. It was originally an over 100 year old Deer hunting lodge that has been added to a few times over. This Spring ..for the first time in my 46 years on this earthen sod, the appreciation of hearing birds singing has finally come for me. This Morning I am recently again in child-like wonder as they sing in mighty chorus full in their purpose with an added interpretive dance within the trees. No, Not a small enemic choir....but a very Lush Thrush. A sweet sounding creation groan proclaiming of our Creator Redeemer who lived, lives and will come again..little levitical priests calling for me too to come and worship. I have all my life lived in true New York suburbia.. once in a while you heard A SINGLE bi...

"......the Levites were the ministers of life. Christ, the great Levite, was the Minister of life; and real service to the Lord is that we minister life - not that people come necessarily into a great range of truth, a vast amount of knowledge and information that is purely intellectual or mental, but that they have life ministered to them. That is the seal of the real service of God." T. Austin Sparks The Spiritual Meaning of Service Chapter One

FB Entry Friday Night ...... Watched the movie, 'Let there be Blood,' Tonight...expecting this great Oscar nominated flick forever on my long list of movies to see that I haven't....WHAT was THAT? Double YUK YUK! I feel like I need to wash it off! LOL Still love Daniel Day Lewis' acting though....a repeat of The Last of the Mohican's would have been the better choice. FB Entry Saturday AM Thoughts .....I was really taken back as I watched the most ugly mocking portrayal of christianity I have ever personally seen on the screen last night... thinking this morning of the 'unchurched' looking in at Christianity or just what's offered on TV in the USA in the name of Christ....the hypocrisy, self/man glorifying, little God devaluing, the charlatan; Simon Magus of our day..boasting in the lusts and the pride of life with evil eyes upon that which they are beholding..and the 'church' follows them..scary to me too...I think the movie was really a needed...

Cowards never won heaven. Do not claim that you are begotten of God and have His royal blood running in your veins unless you can prove your lineage by this heroic spirit: to dare to be holy in spite of men and 'devils'." - William Gurnall.
