Scored some real classics

I received a substantial iTunes gift card (thanks, Lynne') for Christmas and haven't spent it all of it yet, but I found a couple of classics that I had been missing for quite a while. The first, Again and Again by Mylon and Broken Heart is a smooth rock/jazz piece that was included on an 80's Christian music compilation. It is classic Mylon and in the same vein as a lot of the stuff found on his Big World album. I had been looking for this song for quite a while and am glad to see it on iTunes as the album it was off of is all right for Mylon and Broken Heart collectors, but not people like me.

The second is called Darn Floor, Big Bite from Daniel Amos and it is every bit as good as I remember it. I had the album on cassette and wore it out/threw it out a while ago. Daniel Amos is one of those alternative bands that were way ahead of their time and not just in Christian music circles. I am going to be playing this album a lot in the days ahead along with the Whiteheart Freedom and The Choir's Flap Your Wings albums I received on CD.

That's a lot of music that I need to reacquaint myself with. Not that it will be an arduous task mind you...

Nothing will stand in the way of the Word

  His Word shall live forever. The Word is a sword that pierces the heart And its truth is a light that cuts through the dark Of this world. Nations shall rise and nations shall fall But nothing shall stand in the way Of the Word.  - Iona I was young and now I am much older and there is one thing that I am more convinced of than ever. God's Word, the Bible, is the only truth that cuts through all of the darkness that this world offers me. Time-bound kingdoms, the ones that ruled over large swaths of this planet and even the one that currently commands the sons and daughters of disobedience cannot stand in its way.  The Word is sufficient in the ultimate and proximate sense as there is nothing of which it does not speak nor conquer. It's light, almost blinding at times, cannot be dimmed. Revelation after revelation, promise after promise, peace upon peace - it's all there and as it marches on it smashes the wisdom of the wise confounding the schemes of the clever.  Where is

tightvnc keyboard mapping problem in Ubuntu 9.04

Image
I have been, off and on, having an issue with the keys on my keyboard mapping to the correct values when using the tightvnc client when paired with the vncserver vino in Ubuntu 9.04. I am not exactly sure what keyboard layout the client and server was expecting, but it seemed like every time I restarted the OS the keyboard mapping problem would come back and I would be at square one again. Well, I think I have found the workaround I was looking for . Hopefully this will help anyone else that is having this issue.

The Boys of Summer

I can tell you My love for you will still be strong After the boys of Summer have gone - Don Henley, Boys of Summer Ah the boys of Summer. From where they come we scarcely know. But they arrive nonetheless with their blonde hair, blue eyes, and muscle beach physique. Their white teeth glint even in the rain and their voice rivals that of the storms that herald cooler, drier air. Their hands are firm, fierce, and tender. They know their business, whether a traveling carnival or beach to comb, and their seduction pull shakes even the most sure and forthright. What chance do they not offer? What delight do they not possess? What siren song have they not mastered? What freedom do they not promise? What spell do they not cast? Is there peril at which they do not scoff? Is there sweet fragrance that escapes them? What opportunity is there apart from them even in their wake? Their season is brief and then just you. Me. He. My Love proves strong during their wax and wane doesn't He? Doesn&
