I'm Your Man 60 Years Later

Even in his last years, Granddad had a mind like a steel trap, only one that had been left out so long, it had rusted shut.

Here's the song to listen to while you read the lyrics.  It is a lot like the circle trilogy by Ted Dekker.  It is meant to be sung before the actual song...but the song itself is meant to be sung before (younger people)...however, the fact that one is older does not change the mechanics of the thing...a circular explanation...

I’m Your Man (remix)              

Baby, come on over, help me look down low,

Help me clean this fungus off my toes. 

Hang on, Baby, now I’ve got to go!

I’m glad you understand!

I’ve been drinking prune juice all day long;

What a time for it to hit so strong!

Did you see this when you put my ring on

And let me be your man?

But still ain’t nobody

Ever loved somebody

The way that I Love you!

We’ve grown old now, but I ain’t forgot how

To do those things to you,

But right now, Baby, help me look down low,

Help me clean this fungus off my toes.

Hang on, Baby, now I’ve got to go!

I’m glad you understand!

I’ve been drinking prune juice all day long;

What a time for it to hit so strong!

Did you see this when you put my ring on

And let me be your man?

My sight’s got blurry

But don’t you worry

I think you got it this time!

Come a little closer,

Now that that’s over,

Here’s what I have in mind:

Insert original song here.

I'm Your Man

Even in his last years, Granddad had a mind like a steel trap, only one that had been left out so long, it had rusted shut.

I often like to think about what all these romantic songs would sound like if the person who had written them, having  been married for sixty-something years, wrote them again.  Here’s a popular country song about the “sport of Love”, and what I think it might sound like to the Love veteran.  I like this song in it’s original version because while it talks about the act of marriage, it gives no indication in my mind that this is not a man talking to his wife, therefore, biblically, it can be a pure song.  I think there is a big difference between sensual songs and sinful songs.  God does too.  Just read Song of Solomon!  The original (which you should be listening to now) I would consider a sensual one (and so does my wife).

Back To Genesis

I was reading in Genesis earlier, and I came to the end of Genesis 4.  it says "At that time, men began to call on the Name of the Lord."

What does this mean?

I have no idea, but here is a snapshot of the background:

This comes not long at all after the creation and the Fall.  Lamech, Great, Great, Great grandson of Cain, Adam's murderous son, had just admitted to killing a man and cursed the avenger of the dead man by one-upping God's curse to the killer of Cain.  Not a whole lot had happened since Cain had been exiled.  people were born and died, Seth was born to Adam and Eve, and the core of all that is was brought about (music, iron work, etc.), but it is only here at the end of Chapter 4 that the Bible says that people began to call on the Name of the LORD.  why is that?  Why do they start so far after Adam (6 generations) and so close to the Flood (4 generations as best as I can tell)?

Come December...

"Having children is like living in a frat house-- nobody sleeps, every thing's broken, and there's a lot of throwing up."

For My Son This Morning 

I'm thinkin' of you this mornin', son,

And I miss you an awful lot.

I long for the days that I teach you

And your sisters what's right and what's not.

I'm missin' showin' you Jesus

And ropin' and drivin' steers,

And ridin' and shoein' and saddlin'

I miss those younger years!

I'm thinkin' of you drivin the tractor

And my Chevy as we load the hay

And I miss watchin' you drive off

For a date at the end of the day.

I miss you more especially today, son.

As I'm thinkin' 'bout you this morn,

And I pray to the Lord for contentment

To last me until you're born.

To My Son This Morning

"Having children is like living in a frat house-- nobody sleeps, every thing's broken, and there's a lot of throwing up." 

Ray Romano

We've been married for three and a half years, and it's not that our marriage has grown stale, because it hasn't.  I do believe I have learned more about the leadership of Christ and how He feels when He's trying to lead us.  But we are longing to have children, and the one we're expecting in December is a boy.  His name will be Joseph Steven Christian.  I think about him a lot, and I already miss him.   I've written before about the fact that I have always wanted to be a Dad, and now that  am eligible for this "promotion," I am more longing for it now than ever.
