Bon giorno Senorina

So, it's quite interesting that the first thing that my italian learning discs teach me is how to meet an italian woman and engage in sensible greetings and dialogue. I think they, whoever they are, may have it right.

So Where does singing begin?

Does singing begin in the diaphram, or in the throat, in the beginning of the day when in the shower, or in when one makes a committment to practice in a practice room? No, it begins in the mind. I am more convinced that a singer's ability to sing in a natural, healthy, and intelligent manner is dependant on the "inner ear". Can the singer hear a world of music inside that skull?
Well, let's begin developing the "voice of the mind".

Romans 11

I have an mp3 player that I'll use while I work and some statements really made sense while I listened to Romans 11. So the the depth and the riches of the wisdom of God is amazing. So amazing that God's ways are above our ways. Instead of just revealing himself to entire populas at once, God reveals himself to the hebrews, a stubborn group of wandering nomads. He reveals himself to them so that in there disobedience, He would make Himself known to the rest of the world-all the Gentiles. And yet the Gentiles will make the Jews jealous and God will graft Israel back, just as he grafted the Gentiles in. Besides God can graft whoever He wants to and just as easily he can cut off those branches he grafted in.
He consigned all to disobedience, so that in His foreknowledge He would have mercy on us all.
What a beautiful God

Go and sin no more!

I've been reading through the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. It's amazing! I have been a lot of contextual detail that makes sense. Details that inform me about Christ and those he interacts with. Today I read about Christ's interaction with a woman who was caught in adultery in the gospel of John. So Christ goes to the temple earlier that day, then later the Pharisees bring a woman before Christ. Of course, they're trying to cause Christ to verbally stumble and give the Pharisees levrage to get Christ punished or killed. So what were the Pharisees doing getting this woman while she was in the act of adultery of again. Sounds like they get the perve card. They present her before Christ and Christ writes in the sand...twice. Christ tell's her that no one condemns her and that He does not condemn her. Then Christ tell's her to go and sin no more. It's interesting that around that time Christ gives a sneak preview of him being the Light of the World and how he always get's His authority from God the Father. He briefly discusses abiding in Him, which he later elaborates on in John.

Bon Giorno!

Welcome to my new blog. I hope to post more later on philosophy, music, art, and God.
