    TRANSFORMED BY THE WORD WITH DEBORA BARR PODCAST – EPISODE 022 Announcer Welcome to transformed by the word, a podcast about discovering how to live your life with gratifying purpose. God created you for a reason and the Bible contains the keys to unlock your transformed life. Now, here's your host, Debora Barr Debora 0:26 Thanks for joining me for Episode 22 of transformed by the word. Prayer is how we communicate with God. And one of the most powerful ways that he communicates with us. One form of prayer that has the ability to completely transform your life and deepen your intimacy with the Lord is listening, and inner healing prayer. Jesus came into the world to set us free from sin, and the effects of sin in our lives. We can read in Luke chapter four, that Jesus went into the synagogue in Nazareth, and he read from the scroll of Isaiah chapter 61, beginning at verse one. And when he had finished reading the passage, he said, the scripture you've just heard, has been fulfilled this very day. What scripture did he read? What does it say? Isaiah 61:1 - the Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound. Jesus was essentially saying that God sent him to heal our broken hearts, to give liberty to those captive and in bondage to sin, and to open the prisons in our minds that are constructed by Satan, to keep us in bondage.

As a result, these recordings differ in more ways than simply length, because there are “long song” characteristics that distinguish this music. In order to better discuss these characteristics, it was important to develop a method for visually depicting songs in a manner that clearly outlines each groove. These “groove analyses” are used to discuss each piece of music in detail. As a result, groove is a primary point of discussion throughout this study, because most long song characteristics are directly linked to this quality within music. This type of analysis is explained in detail, and afterwards, it is utilized throughout much of the dissertation. It is also hypothetically possible that the structures and techniques in question can impact the listener’s perception of time when used outside of the context of a long song. A simple experiment was run in order to better understand how these concepts influence a person’s sense of duration, and the results were promising and demonstrated trends that merit further research.

  • Dad Needleman Essay 0.Pdf
    p01.Nepo 7/28/05 2:13 PM Page 23 TWO DREAMS OF AMERICA Jacob Needleman 1. Statement of the Question both in its everyday usage and in its etymology, the word dream in- cludes two radically opposed meanings and points in two radically opposed directions of human life. A dream is a vision of truth, of what can be and ought to be; it shapes our fundamental intention and purpose; it calls us to the life we are meant to live and the good we are meant to serve. Such is Jacob’s dream (Genesis 28) in which he is given to see the entire cosmic order with God above commanding and promising him the fullness of a sacred life on earth. And a dream is a deception, a night creature of mere seeming; or a day- light phantom that draws us away from the reality of the present moment, idling the engines of our psyche and spirit in imagined pleasures or ter- rors. Worse yet, a dream is an illusion masquerading as a vision, as when we say of someone that his or her goals are “only a dream.” Not only individuals, but groups and collectivities, including nations and even whole civilizations, may come under the sway of such dreams. History offers many examples—too many. We need only look at the bloody tracks of our era’s dreams of national, racial, or religious superiority; or its some- times hypnotic submission to economic and scientific ideologies—all fueled by the suggestibility of the crowd. And if we turn further back in history or look toward other cultures throughout the world, we will be astonished at the spectacle of the fantastic dreams that have dominated the minds of the peoples of the earth, dreams that lie at the root of the universal plague of war.

AN INTEREST IN THE IMPOSSIBLE TODD KESSELMAN I Ever since Kant first introduced the notion of disinterested pleasure in his Kritik der Urteilskraft from 1790, critics have been baffled by the contradictory resonance of the term. Nietzsche, for example, was notoriously unsympathetic to Kant‘s aesthetic endeavor, since he took Kant to be arguing for a notion of detached and indifferent contemplation and concluded from this that Kant‘s theory allowed no room for a robust affective engagement with works of art. The idea of pleasure deprived of all interest, for Nietzsche, was all but unintelligible. A number of notable commentators however (e.g., Guyer, Allison, and

  • "Cannonball" Adderley
    "You know what I mean?" The Pedagogical Canon of "Cannonball" Adderley Ryan Patrick Jones "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach." So reads a familiar adage often relayed to prospective teachers. Its appeal derives from a curious discon­ nect-namely, that those who teach are compelled to do so by, or even in spite of, incapacity. Usually passed along by outsiders, this observation is rarely borne out by practical application in the educational field because the most effective teaching models lead directly by example, relying upon inspiration to make lasting impressions upon students. Such was the approach favored by Julian "Cannonball" Adderley (1928- 75), a hard bop alto saxophonist who exemplified a brand of music education rare for a jazz figure of his time and stature. A former music teacher, Adderley combined virtuosity, idiosyncratic pre-concert remarks, and a knack for discovering, promoting, and surrounding himself with innovative musicians. Throughout much of his career, he demonstrated concern for the future of jazz. He directed and participated in youth concerts, lectured in collegiate demonstrations with his band, and debated fellow artists in forums over the status of jazz and its projected viability. As a band leader, Adderley seemed similarly driven to promote musical awareness in his audience. Guided by these instructional impulses, his career offers a moving counterexample to cliches affirming the inherent ineptitude of pedagogues. While pedagogy formally unites educational theory with practice, in simpler terms, it refers to the art of teaching. It is the resulting merger of training and the subsequent application of that training, without which, no successful learning scenario can coalesce.! Pondering pedagogy can quickly result in a splintering of broader issues.

  • Don Hightower & Bob That Perfect Bahamian Cruise This Story Is A
    Story: 084 – That Perfect Bahamian Cruise Teller: Don Hightower & Bob That Perfect Bahamian Cruise This story is a collaboration along two dimensions. First, and most apparent, it is a joint tale between Don Hightower and me. You will notice that it is mostly Don’s voice, but I will interject myself, politely I trust, into his scene from time to time. The second dimension is the collaboration of the senses. All five will play a part, so you need to be on the lookout for the different interactions of sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing. Together we deliver this sailing feast by way of a cruise aboard Don’s Hunter 34, Finesse. The yarn tells the tale as if it were a single voyage. The truth is a tad more complex; it is an amalgamation of many trips and ex- periences to those storied isles. We will have done our job if you can place yourself alongside Don and Binnie and experience that perfect Bahamian cruise. This afternoon was what I consider a sailor’s dream. A few cotton white, fair-weather clouds float on a dark blue sky. The heavens above made the azure sea even more beautiful. It was a day when you could easily overuse the word “perfect.” The day sported a “Goldilocks” wind, not too light or too heavy, but just right for cruising. The constant gentle breeze we felt on our faces was not only cooling on this hot tropical day, but ani- mated Finesse to do her best. Her hinged prop blades folded gently back like the ears of a greyhound on a slow trot.
