Doug’s Interview
I meant to post this a couple of months ago, but promptly forgot. My buddy Douglas Beaumont was on True Faith Real Talk. Aside from his penchant for ridiculous bright shirts, he’s a really great guy š

Wise Words on Wednesday: Quotations
“A facility for quotation covers the absence of original thought”
– Dorothy L. Sayers
Music Monday: Unstoppable
This is “Unstoppable” by North High:
[VerseĀ 1]
Something changed
I am not the same
As I was before
EverythingāsĀ
Rearranged
I am less and you are more
I didnāt even know that I was thirsty
But when you rain it pours
Iām not worthy of this grace and mercy
That you died for
[Chorus]
But you showed me that love isĀ
Unconditional
Laying down your life is soĀ
untypical
With you there is nothing thatās impossible
You are Unstoppable
[Verse 2]
Kinda hard hearing you over
All this Noise
When Iām treating you like a last chance
Instead of My first choice
If freedom in surrenderās never ending
I want things your way
I used to run fast and far to dodge you
Now Iām begging you to stay
[Verse 3]
I wanna see your
Kingdom come
So take my life and let
Your will be done
I donāt have to do anything at all
You are Unstoppable
[Bridge]
Welcome to the mess again
You Gotta Get me outta what I got me in
Pay attention to the weight thatās lifting
When I pray my senses shifting
Lord fix my heart, Please Break me apart
I am so sick and tired of walking in the dark
Breaking through the walls I built, humbled and thankful for the bloodĀ you spilled
Every time that I feel defeated I know you already beat it
I believe you died for me you set me free there is no doubt
You are unstoppable itās not too hard to figure out

Wise Words on Wednesday: Every meal a sacrament
By the bye, what are your views, now, on the question of sacraments? To me that is the most puzzling side of the whole thing. I need hardly say I feel none of the materialistic difficulties: but I feel strongly just the opposite onesāi.e., I see (or think I see) so well a sense in which all wine is the blood of Godāor all matter, even, the body of God, that I stumble at the apparently special sense in which this is claimed for the Host when consecrated. George Macdonald observes that the good man should aim at reaching the state of mind in which all meals are sacraments. Now that is the sort of thing I can understand: but I find no connection between it and the explicit āsacramentā proprement dit [āproperly so calledā]. The Presbyterian method of sitting at tables munching actual slices of bread is clearly absurd under ordinary conditions: but one can conceive a state of society in which a real meal might be shared by a congregation in such a way as to be a sacrament without ceasing to be also their actual dinner for that day. Possibly this was so in the very early Church.
