Random Thursday for September 3, 2015

Referring back to my blog Six Degrees of Adolf Hitler, I’m happy to read how Richard Parker chose not play the Hitler card in a recent column in the Dallas Morning News:  “To put Trump’s bad idea [deporting illegal immigrants] into perspective, no nation has experienced forced repatriation on the scale he proposes since 20th century Germany. No, nothing compares to the Holocaust, so I won’t try.”  (Richard Parker, “Trump’s bad immigration ideas are a good chance for true debate”, Dallas Morning News, 18 August 2015)

Back in class after a summer off, taking Intro to Worship.  One of the instructors said when you sing together in worship, you breathe together (since the music requires it), but it also synchronizes the congregations heartbeats and brainwaves.  You are truly united in song.

Check out this video of a youth group race.  It’s so cool.  I’m going to have to try this.

Great song of the week:  “When My Time Comes” by Dawes.  I’m late to the party on this one, as I usually am, but what a great song.  Check out this video with Dawes and Mumford and Sons.  Goosebumps.
