Let Us Love and Sing and Wonder: The Pain of Goodbye
http://thisisthetjblog.blogspot.com/2011/01/pain-of-goodbye.html
Thursday, January 27, 2011. The Pain of Goodbye. Let me start by saying. Because my fiancée lives several hundred miles away, I regularly have to say goodbye to her. On one such occurrence when I was in a particularly poetic mood, I penned (or rather "typed on my phone") this line:. I'm convinced that the curse of human existence exists most complete in the pain of goodbyes. I think this pain at separation is what makes redemption so beautiful. If division is the greatest human pain, then redemption,...

Let Us Love and Sing and Wonder: Blue Like Jazz: The Movie
http://thisisthetjblog.blogspot.com/2012/04/blue-like-jazz-movie.html
Friday, April 13, 2012. Blue Like Jazz: The Movie. I don't agree with Donald Miller on 100% of every issue, but I am a big fan of the way he approaches almost every thought, his unflinching yet humble honesty, and his damn good prose. That's why when I heard money was being raised to turn his book Blue Like Jazz. Into a movie, I didn't have to think long about giving money to the cause. Even though the setting of the- shall we say- eccentric. 2) Honestly feel like you are attending Reed for a year. Max v...

Top 25 Pop Songs of 2009: Mash-Up. Published by T.J. In the Valley of the Dying Sun"- House of Heroes. Is probably one of my favorite bands, ever. The reason I like this music video in particular, as opposed to Serial Sleepers. Is because I didn't really understand the song until I saw it. But now I know, and knowing is half the battle. Published by T.J. Published by T.J. I will admit, however, that I don't really understand too well how the song and video connect, as far as message goes. Whatever. I hav...

Things Are Changing: "Doin'"--John Reuben
http://thetjanalysis.blogspot.com/2010/01/doin-john-reuben.html
There is little to no way to introduce this video. It is pretty amazing. Even if you don't enjoy white Christian hip-hop. Which I'm betting you don't. Still, an underground professional duck-duck-goose competition? Published by T.J. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I am the least difficult of men, all I want is boundless love."- Frank O'Hara.

Let Us Love and Sing and Wonder: September 2010
http://thisisthetjblog.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 22, 2010. How dare he suggest I risk destroying that which I had spent such a lengthy and tedious amount of time constructing! Monday, September 20, 2010. What follows is an incredibly insightful yet entertaining rant against the penny (and the nickel). He makes a compelling argument against the production of pennies and nickels, and also points out that it is a non-political issue, which could help facilitate bi-partisan communication:. What are some reasons for keeping it? Video Ga...

Tuesday, March 8, 2011. I am resolved to not interrupt the silence, unless I can improve it. But I am also resolved to never stop trying to improve the silence. Thursday, March 3, 2011. Haters Gonna Hate, Lovers Gotta Love. In the context of my last post. Conflict sucks even worse among Christians, because we are supposed to exemplify love ( 1 John 4. Yet, as DeYoung points out, there must be way to do both. The example of Christ clearly demonstrated both: from caring for the widow and orphan, or eve...

Let Us Love and Sing and Wonder: February 2011
http://thisisthetjblog.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 17, 2011. It is a damn cold night,. But these nights are clear. The frigid wind has a way. Of cutting down to bone. These are the evenings of my discontent. I am more honest in the cold:. Winter offers the formality. Of doctor-patient confidence,. When the weather reminds me. That death is not so foreign. This is not the end, but. Death is piling on dying. On cold, hard nights like this. I hear something written on my heart. It whispers: “I see a new day coming,”. I'm Talking About Love.
