@Stilton An excellent album indeed. Thank you so much. Merry Christmas ! And a Merry Christmas to all the Hope and Change readers and posters. Great group of folks.
Merry and Happy to you and yours, Stilton, and all the twisted people who post here!
BTW, I boosted a play list of the songs on lamont's special Christmas/kwanzaa album:
Angels We Have Heard While High Ave Mandella Do You Queer What I Queer Go Tell It To moHAMmed It Came Upon A Midnight Queer It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Russia The Little Drummer Boy Would Look Like Travon MoHAMmed Did You Know O Come, O Come Manuel And Jose Silent Congress The First Nobel Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow/Cocaine (special traditional and Clapton medley for lamont’s bouts with depression)
If we were to be PC; we should say: "Happy Christannukahwanzaadan' which would be all inclusive. But we be not, and I'll declare my Christianity here and now: May you ALL be blessed with the true spirit of CHRISTmas, and blessed with good health and happiness throughout the year. Love you all!
John the apostle wrote in 1 John chapter 3... "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God…” John had witnessed in the flesh this love of God. See John’s hand shaking as he writes it, maybe with tears falling on the parchment. The mystery of such a love, John has had decades to contemplate, yet still, as the angels have done through eternity, he remains moved, even now, by the awesomeness of it, by the sheer power of it, by the grace of it. “What manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God…”
The picture of God’s son, John’s friend, continued to amaze and fortify and humble this old servant of God who wrote to his “little children” then and who speaks, maybe even shouts in a mystified whisper, to us today. “Behold…”
It’s the kind of love that has given life to writers and singers and poets through the centuries, the kind it takes exclamation points to even attempt to capture. This one-of-a-kind kind of love that, if we allow it, moves us to do things outside ourselves, maybe even moves us into a new year with a new thought and a new song.
