VIDEO COLUMN God Tube is becoming well established. I looked at some of their TopTen this week, this clip posted by 'cereals', Wintley Phipps talks about black negro spirituals played on just the black notes of the piano, the Pentatonich Scale - or the Slave Scale. The most famous song written using the slave scale was Amazing Grace - watch and listen. My thanks to Mike & Liz for directing to this video mapping revival in one sleepy Missisippi town.

July 2008. The job in hand, posting a package at the post office just 2 minutes cycle ride from my house. One of the great things about being so random is that a trip like that can turn into a 22 mile trip through the countryside. I ended up at Audley End, and was able to take the train back home. An interesting day! Quote from Andrew J Brown Sometimes I think the best religions are those with a little bit of dirt under the fingernails - at least it shows that the tradition has rolled up its sleeves and got dirty in the work of service. 27th April 2008 In a recent email I received a quote from John Piper, "Until you know that life is war, you cannot know what prayer is for... But what have millions of Christians done? We have stopped believing that we are in a war. No urgency, no watching, no vigilance. No strategic planning. Just easy peace and prosperity. And what did we do with the [prayer] walkie-talkie? We tried to rig it up as an intercom in our houses - not to call in fire power for conflict with a mortal enemy, but to ask for more comforts in the den." My friend went on to say, ....but I suspect many of us need a good kick up the backside in terms of complacency and priorities. I know I do, and often! It's so easy to get distracted and caught up in things of little eternal significance. The battle is raging, but are we even engaging? " Harsh words, but I think we, as christians are well in need of a wake up call as to what our faith is about. Thanks for the timely email S. 8th April 2008 I used to wander the decks of The Ship of Fools, Magazine of Christian Unrest, and still occassionaly creep back on board to see how my old friends are doing.
