When My Heart Is Overwhelmed from Reality on Vimeo.

I try not to share songs with people because everybody has different tastes. What is awesome and powerful to me might say nothing to you. Never the less this is my musical prayer most mornings.

Please don’t steal this song, if you must have it just post the word “donate” in the comments and I will pay for a copy on your behalf.

A friend sent me this quote from the late William Buckley. It is a profound reminder of the great love He has for us and our hearts natural reaction. “We do not abandon reason, we merely recognize its limitations. We reason to the existence of God, it is revealed to us that His Son was also the incarnation, and that such was His love of us that He endured a torture excruciating in pain, and unique in aspect” the God of hosts, mutilated by His own creatures, whom He dies forgiving, loving. Can we do less? Yes, we do less, but we must try to do more, until we die. – William F. Buckley, Nearer My God

As many of you know, as a general practice, I avoid domestic news outlets. Instead I rely on various European sources not the least of which is BBC World. There are two benefits to this practice. First I easily avoid all the silliness that the American networks label and report as news but is in fact merely pop culture. The second is a fresh perspective. People outside the U.S. do see things differently. Even in the most American like country of Great Britain their take on world and national events are often surprising and even insightful. Because of there distance from it they can sometimes see the forest where we only see the trees.Case in point, and my point for this post, is a recent report on “the Change in American Religion”. It’s a five minute segment I found very chilling. Rev 3:15-16. Please let me know what you think. Download MP3
