Music today: Gillian Welch, 'By the Mark'
'The King of heaven can be told from the prince of fools.'
A beautiful song on Jesus' sign of prudent, passionate leadership.

What can a puppy teach us about our relationship with God? Join me (and little Schubert) for a few minutes with Psalm 131 and finding our sufficiency in God.
Music today: Josh Garrels, 'Zion and Babylon'. The first half of the song describes the mindset of 'Babylon': the secular world. The second the mindset of Zion: a very different approach that finds its hope in God rather than material power.

Also: Vladimir Horowitz, 'Traumerei (Dreaming)' Live in Moscow, 1986. One of the most peaceful, hopeful pieces I know, played by a Russian exile back in Moscow in the latter stages of the Cold War. I believe meditating on the reality of the Lord's love in the midst of our broken world looks something like what we see on the faces of this audience.
