Bereshith

I just released my newest single ‘Bereshith” to Distrokid!  You might learn a little Hebrew, Genesis 1:1-2 as it is sung in both the original dialect and English.   Along with epic guitar by none other than the great Brad Fortuna, this new single is sure to get your התרגשות flowing!  Give it a listen and see what you think.

182 An Alphabetical Journey Among Words That Describe God, Part 2

My previous post had 7 comments about the 182, sooo I didn’t feel like I could continue that thread.  Especially with how the Spirit is moving in my thoughts and prayers now in reference to using my ignorance & the world’s need.  I watched a 3-day-old video from the World Economic Forum about ‘Digital Inclusion’, (Found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJ5fq9POzLw) and my mind was racing.  Partly because of, for centuries, missions have played a vital role in the development of cultures and languages, and partly because LLMs are finally being developed in other languages than English, and because big business and the private sector are taking over. I know the world can’t trust in anyone other than Christ to act in their best interest.

The need for ‘Digital Inclusion’, let alone literacy in general, amongst the “2.5 billion people” that don’t have access is obviously great.  The 182 could help to give spiritual access to a vocabulary solely developed for the prayer-life of the inhabitants.  Like the LLMs, I feel the need to open this up to other languages.  May God bless this as AI is closing so many doors – I’ve read estimates of 14 million jobs by 2027.

If you are a church leader,  AI may be the cause of a great wave in the coming harvest.  May His Name be praised.  On a side note, I have been singing Daniel ch. 9 to God.  No discernible melodies or chorus, just singing about repentance and God’s mercy and forgiveness.  I know it’s been more catchy to do a ‘Daniel Fast’, but if you want to be ‘highly esteemed’ by the heavenly courts, how about you give it a try?  God bless you!

Bridging the Gap

Last November I unveiled a project my daughter and I had been working on for a number of years.  It all began with a question and a request.  “I want to do a lullaby album, dad!” is how I remember it.  “Do you want to do a lullaby album, Gwen?” is how she remembers it.  Either way, from there our journey began amongst treasure-keeping-waterfalls, magical forests and mystical beaches.  Mermaids, sprites, a dragon and many others greeted us on our way to find the greatest treasure known to humankind, among our common daily toil, the valued treasure of rest.
 
So go ahead, find a place to lie down and listen in on 8 stories and 1 hymn to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  May they guide you to a priceless nap time, and may you have the most fantastic of dreams.
 
A word about Dreams:  Sometimes, story becomes more real than our days IRL, or at least during our sleep IRL.  Long before the meta-verse sought to create a convenient digital version of life in which we could live and work out our days, there was another reality sought by prophets and seers across the world and throughout history, the realm of dreams.  For more than being a source of entertainment while sleeping, dreams at times unraveled the future.  They spanned time and the realms of reality, many of which were often beyond the grasp of where we currently find ourselves and were filled with mystical creatures beyond imagining.  Yet, somehow they interacted with our story here.
 
Again, for children and adults alike, find that safe place and take a moment or two.  Listen to Gwendolyn’s Lullaby, take a nap and trust yourself in the hands of Your Maker.  Perhaps God has a dream for you.
