The Existence of Jesus
Mary, did you know?
It’s that time of year when a lot of people freak out about the song “Mary, did you know?”
You know what, I like this song.

I recently came across a video by the lyricist of the song and he explains the meaning of the song in the way I’ve always understood it, rhetorical questions at the wonder of the Incarnation:
Note: He misunderstands the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception. This doesn’t refers to Jesus’ virginal conception without an earthly father. Rather it refers to Mary being conceived without the stain of Original Sin, but rather in a state of grace….full of it, in fact.

World of Blessings
One of my favourite songs is The Blessing:
I’ve previously shared a crowd-sourced version of the song, but my friend Jason recently shared an international collection of them on Facebook…
After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no man could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb!”
