This song was very important to me. It came out at a low point of my life.
My pet muskrat, Mike, had run away from home. Some mean children had told Mike that he really wasnt a French Poodle. I had raised Mike to believe that he was a show dog. I told him that his father was the national champion Poodle of Holland.
Mike bought a ticket to Holland to look for his roots.
Evidently, muskrats arent a common sight in Holland. The bigoted Hollandaisers chased Mike, throwing wooden shoes at him.
I never heard from Mike again. Some say he joined the French Foreign Legion and fought in Wisconsin. I dont know.
I like to think that Mike is still out there nibbling on bacon and chewing on cheese.
Beau Geste, Mike, Beau Geste.

The “Star Spangled Banner”. Standing in the ranks and hearing this played ALWAYS made me proud to be an American Soldier!

"Hallelujah" -- I bought the Jeff Buckley album back in the '90's and thought this song was one of the best I ever heard. I have to admit though, it has now been overplayed and turned into a song sung at Christmas. It is not a Christmas song. But it is beautiful and this is one of the best versions ever recorded (IMHO):
Hallelujah -- Jeff Buckley (written by the late Leonard Cohen)

By the Spirits Power
January 19, 2018
What are you, mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground.
Zechariah 4:7
What do you do when there is a mountain in your way? The story of Dashrath Manjhi can inspire us. When his wife died because he was unable to get her to the hospital to receive urgent medical care, Manjhi did what seemed impossible. He spent twenty-two years chiseling a massive gap in a mountain so other villagers could get to the local hospital to receive the medical care they needed. Before he died, the government of India celebrated him for his achievement.
Rebuilding the temple must have looked impossible to Zerubbabel, one of the leaders of Israel who returned from exile. The people were discouraged, faced opposition from their enemies, and lacked resources or a big army. But God sent Zechariah to remind Zerubbabel that the task would take something more powerful than military strength, individual power, or man-made resources. It would take the Spirits power (Zechariah 4:6). With the assurance of divine aid, Zerubbabel trusted that God would level any mountain of difficulty that stood in the way of rebuilding the temple and restoring the community (v. 7).
What do we do when there is a mountain before us? We have two options: rely on our own strength or trust the Spirits power. When we trust His power, He will either level the mountain or give us the strength and endurance to climb over it.
What challenges stand in your way? How will you trust the power of God's Spirit in your life? Share it on Facebook.com/ourdailybread.
Human power is inadequate to accomplish Gods purposes.
What keeps us from finishing the work entrusted to us? Eighteen years had passed since Cyrus, king of Persia, told Jewish captives of Babylon to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple of their God (Ezra 6:3,14). Now the prophet Zechariah urged completion. This temple, like the Messiah who would someday enter its courts, represented the heart of God for the world. Anything done for His honorand for the good of othersis done in His Spirit.

“Vincent (Starry Starry Night)” by Don McLean. I remember hearing the song as a youth and it led me to research artwork by Vincent Van Gogh and study something that I otherwise would have little or no interest.
