They say there is a reason, Somewhere down below or in the sky? They say that time will heal, ‘I can’t be sure,’ said Grandad, ‘but it seems But neither time nor reason, They simply set up home inside our dreams Will change the way I feel, No-one knows the heartache, That lies behind my smile, No-one knows how many times, I have broken down and cried, I want to tell you something, So there won’t be any doubt, You’re so wonderful to think of, But so hard to be without. www.yourlifeassist.com.au FUNERAL POEMS, READINGS & QUOTES Page 5 Your Life www.yourlifeassist.com.au Assist [email protected] Where do they go to?

    Christmas Angel Leslea Wahl CHRISTMAS ANGEL Copyright © 2020 Leslea Wahl ALL RIGHTS RESERVED No portion of this book may be reproduced in any form without permission from the author and/or publisher, except for short quotes used in reviews, and as permitted by U.S. copyright law. Christmas Angel THE SANCTUARY SPARKLES BRILLIANTLY. Twinkling purple lights peek from boughs of greenery. The tastefully festive adornment inspires a joyous atmosphere within the church. A single tall Advent candle flickers, casting a warm glow on the wooden creche next to it. The first Sunday of Advent means we have arrived at my favorite time of year. The Christmas season is upon us. At last. I’m giddy with expectation as I try to focus on the celebration of the Mass. For weeks now, I’ve looked forward to hearing festive carols fill the airways and watching sappy, romantic holiday movies. The youth group will hold its secret Santa party, and my family will take its annual outing to see The Nutcracker performed. Mom and I will soon spend hours baking and decorating dozens of scrumptious cookies. My mouth waters just thinking about the frosted treats. Ah, truly the most wonderful time of year. “I want to leave you with one final thought.” Father Brady’s baritone voice shatters my Sugar Plum Fairy reverie. I straighten in my pew. Had I missed everything he’d said? Come on, Meg, focus. His slow scan of the congregation fills the priest’s dramatic pause. His roaming gaze seems to stop when he focuses on mine.

  • Balaam and the End-Time Church (Part 2) by Richard T
    Balaam and the End-Time Church (Part 2) by Richard T. Ritenbaugh (http://www.cgg.org) Balaam And The End-Time Church (Part 2) Parallels With The Laodicean Richard T. Ritenbaugh Given 25-Jan-03; Sermon #594 In the last sermon, Balaam and The End-Time Church, Part 1, we began discussing the story of Balaam. It is a part of scripture that most people, I think, treat as a story—just another thing that happened to the children of Israel on their way to the Promised Land. Maybe if people look at it in terms of having a moral, they may think that Balaam was greedy and that we shouldn't be greedy. But, I hope last week I was able to convey (in some small way) that Balaam's story has important parallels with our own time, and our own experience. It should give us insight, knowing a bit more about the details of this story and the common worldly mindset, because I mentioned that the way Balaam approached God is the way most people seem to approach God. Balaam's story should also make us aware of some of the dangers that even we may face as chosen sons of God with His Holy Spirit. We still have some of these same tendencies. We have brought some of these things in from the world. And because the world is so always pressing at us, there could be a very good chance that we will pick them back up, even if we have thrown them off in the past! So it is a good reminder, and maybe we can get some good lessons out of it.

  • Pentecostal Music in the Public Square: the Christian Songs and Music of Juan Luis Guerra
    Te Asbury Journal 72/1: 60-77 © 2017 Asbury Teological Seminary DOI: 10.7252/Journal.01.2017S.05 Kelly J. Godoy de Danielson and Robert Danielson Pentecostal Music in the Public Square: The Christian Songs and Music of Juan Luis Guerra Abstract This article explores the issue of contextualization of music in Latin America, particularly through the lens of Pentecostal singer-songwriter Juan Luis Guerra and his story of healing and conversion. Instead of leaving the pop music scene that had made him famous, he chose instead to stay in pop music and introduce Pentecostal Christian songs into his secular albums and concerts. This is a continuation of a long history of creative contextualization by Pentecostal musicians in sharp contrast to mainline Protestants who still primarily rely on translations of English hymns and music in a world where music is an integral part of the culture. Keywords: music, Pentecostalism, Juan Luis Guerra, contextualization, Latin America Kelly J. Godoy de Danielson is a M.A. in Biblical Studies student at Asbury Theological Seminary. She is a native of El Salvador, where she grew up and worked as an English-as-a-Second-Language teacher in the public schools. Her father worked in radio, and so she developed an interest in Latin American popular music and its role in Hispanic culture. She continues to be interested in how language intersects with theology, both in biblical languages and in modern languages in today’s context. Robert Danielson is an affliate professor at Asbury Theological Seminary and is the Scholarly Communications Librarian for the Seminary.

  • Chris Nelson Speaking of Neil Young
    music Chris Nelson Speaking of Neil Young s a junior in high school I found myself humming along to Neil Young’s “Old Man” and “Heart of Gold” whenever the local classic Arock station decided to take a break from Aerosmith or Boston or AC/ DC. Senior year I’d take the scenic route home from football practice while blaring Harvest Moon in the used Mustang I shared with my older brother, driving past the cornfields just as the setting sun made them glow and feeling nostalgic for the innocence I had yet to lose. First semester of college I was getting high to his 1969 self-titled solo debut, and by spring I waited for rainy days to wallow in my loneliness with the haunting On the Beach, playing it over and over on an old turntable of my father’s that I had restored. In accordance with the natural progression of other Neil faithfuls, it wasn’t until I had exhausted this mostly acoustic, more accessible singer/songwriter side of Neil Young that I was able to graduate to an appreciation of his electric work—the highest and most challenging level a Neil faithful can reach. And it took me even longer to fall in love with it. Only recently have I begun to figure out why: his style of playing, with its wailings and repetitions and clutter and incoherence, is my style of speaking. Like his guitar, I stutter. The phonetic makeup of the word itself seems cruel, stutter, in that its intonation peaks at the difficult and forceful “t” sound—a voiceless alveolar stop produced by blocking airflow in the vocal tract—and therefore prevents sufferers from cleanly vocalizing what’s afflicting them, rather like the blatantly onomatopoeic lisp.
