Proverbs 24:30:
I went by the field of the lazy man, And by the vineyard of the man devoid of understanding; And there it was, all overgrown with thorns; Its surface was covered with nettles; Its stone wall was broken down.
Alison Crouch and Union Station preserve their ‘bluegrass’ roots very well with their rendering of a traditional balled called ‘The Young Man Who Wouldn’t Hoe Corn.’ Songs of tradition contain a message and sometimes, even a few! This particular song opens with the words:
Tell You a little story and it won't take long,
'Bout a lazy farmer who wouldn't hoe his corn.
The reason why I never could tell,
That young man was always well.
Come September there came a big frost

Then Jesus, when He had found a young donkey , sat on it; as it is written: “Fear not, daughter of Zion; Behold, your King is coming, Sitting on a donkey's colt.”
Reflective Donkeys
It’s true, ‘A British-based donkey welfare group has started a campaign to put reflective tags on Namibia's donkeys. The idea is to make the animals easier to see at night, and thus to avoid collisions on main roads.’ Namibia, even at the beginning of the 21st Century has over 150,000 donkeys in its Northern region alone, with each householder owning at least five! The phrase ‘As common as a Namibian Donkey’ is obviously well used in the vernacular of North Africa! This makes me giggle profusely!
You see, the problem is that

Jeremiah 3:12:
Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say: 'Return, backsliding Israel,' says the LORD; 'I will not cause My anger to fall on you. For I am merciful,' says the LORD; 'I will not remain angry forever. Only acknowledge your iniquity,
In the United Kingdom it was Ronan Keating of ‘Boyzone’ that popularised the lyrics of the song 'Baby Can I hold You Tonight' In North America, that job was left to Tracy Chapman. I truly believe that God is not silent in culture. Maybe the author of the books ‘Peace Child’ and ‘Lords of the Earth’, Don Richardson, had it right many years ago when he postulated that “Every culture is bejeweled by relevant images of redemption and we just have to find them.”I believe he was! Much more, I

The Emotion of Motion - “Zoom, Zoom!”
Fat Larry’s Disco Funk band, came out with a great easy listening hit in the 1980’s called ‘Zoom!’ What an interesting word to write a song around!
Webster’s dictionary defines the word ‘Zoom’ in relating to an aircraft, as ‘to climb for a short time at an angle greater than that which can be maintained in steady flight, so that the machine is carried upward at the expense of stored kinetic energy.’ But of course! So now we

2 Kings 15:1, 2:
In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Azariah the son of Amaziah, king of Judah, became king. He was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem. NKJV
Jecholia Of Jerusalem
The ancient patronymic naming system of Welsh offspring eventually led to a good number of people all bearing the same name and all living in the same locale, though being totally unrelated by blood! In an aid to distinguish on another, they were later identified by both their name and their occupation. So, Dai the local train driver might have been called, ‘Dai The Steam,’ where as his neighbour the undertaker might have been called ‘Dia The Box!’
