Timely reminder KD
I've just been reading the testimony of another
"music star" and his wife, one who struggled to free himself
and
their marriage from his addiction to
pornography. The wife wrote: Whenever we traveled, I was a sucker for
magazines that had stories with titles such as "10 Ways to Please Your Man" or
"What Every Man Wants His Woman to Know" I would pore over fashion magazines
such as In Style, Cosmopolitan, and Glamour and home and garden magazines such
as House Beautiful and Architectural Digest. I would look through the pictures,
read the articles, and take in all the advice about how to keep my husband happy
or be successful or create a home that others would envy. Even though 1 Cor 3:19
says the wisdom of the world is foolishness in God's sight, that was all the
wisdom I took in back in those days, I allowed the world to tell me how to
dress, how to work, how to live, how to be a lover to my husband. I let the
media, rather than God's Word, shape the way I thought, and as a result, I bore
little resemblance to the person God had created me to be. Through TV and
movies, I had spent a great deal of time with those who see sex outside of
marriage as no big deal, who cuss like sailors, and who mock everything God says
is sacred. My attitude and language showed it.....
I'd say this is plenty to think about ....
especially since hindsight is 20/20

Not just Dylan but Pete Seeger (what a wonderful voice!), Woody Guthrie, Joan Baez. On the way downtown Friday night we listened to an old 70s album by a guy named Tom Rush, a forgotten name, consisting mostly of covers of songs by James Taylor, Neil Young, Murray McLaughlin, and other folk artists. It is one I bought recently on the Internet, having despaired of ever finding it in a store, and I like it more every time I listen to it. My cousin Tim, three years older than I and now helping the government on the Kyoto accord, introduced me to it.All this made me think of Randy's jam sessions. They don't exactly do Dylan there, but I suddenly want to go to another one of those. This coming Friday there will be one; I think I'll go. If I do, I'll try the "1913 Massacre".I also really liked hearing Dylan talk. His speech is ordinary. It is not like Sean Penn reading the biography--and I don't say that just to be irritating.Oh--one more comment from The Stone Reader. He said, fairly early on, when describing his reading journey, that at the age of 40 he decided that not everything he started was worth finishing. A good lesson for me & Jonathan! :-)D
