Micah 6:8
Judges 6:36-40
Yes, your life matters.
We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?
It's beastly hot these days in the Detroit area. It's enough to make one carry a towel everywhere one goes.
It's an interesting coincidence (if you believe in such things) that on this date in 1934, Gustav Holst, the celebrated English composer, shuffled off this mortal coil. Then, a mere 43 years later on this date in 1977, the first Star Wars film was released (Episode IV, as it was the first movie of the central trilogy of nine). The soundtrack by John Williams was actually the first soundtrack recording I ever purchased (I still have the two-LP set on a shelf), and it owed something to Holst (and to Wagner and Stravinsky and ...) At any rate, why not celebrate by playing at least Jupiter from the Planets (Holst would hate pulling out just one movement, but he's dead and can no longer complain); and again, make sure you have your towel with you at all times!
Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
