Whatever your favorite genre
rock it out loud!

You are Contemplative

You are often deep in thought, and you prefer music that enhances your thinking instead of distracting you from it.

You are interested in so much of the world, and you rarely few bored. You are one of the few who finds enrichment and excitement in classical music.

What Kind of Savior Is He?

January 9, 2019

From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him. John 6:66

Last year, friends and I prayed for healing for three women battling cancer. We knew God had the power to do this, and we asked Him to do so every day. We’d seen Him work in the past and believed He could do it again. There were days in each one’s battle where healing looked like it was a reality, and we rejoiced. But they all died that fall. Some said that was “the ultimate healing,” and in a way it was. Still the loss hurt us deeply. We wanted Him to heal them all—here and now—but for reasons we couldn’t understand, no miracle came.

Some people followed Jesus for the miracles He performed and to get their needs met (John 6:2, 26). Some simply saw Him as the carpenter’s son (Matthew 13:55–58), and others expected Him to be their political leader (Luke 19:37–38). Some thought of Him as a great teacher (Matthew 7:28–29), while others quit following Him because His teaching was hard to understand (John 6:66).

Jesus still doesn’t always meet our expectations of Him. Yet He is so much more than we can imagine. He’s the provider of eternal life (vv. 47–48). He is good and wise; and He loves, forgives, stays close, and brings us comfort. May we find rest in Jesus as He is and keep following Him.

Thank You, Jesus, that You are the kind of Savior we need. Wrap us in Your love and bring us confident rest in You.

I trust in you, Lord; I say, “You are my God.” Psalm 31:14

INSIGHT

John 6 forms a critical turning point in Jesus’s public ministry. Following the feeding of the five thousand and walking on water, Jesus presents His “bread of life” message. While opposition from the religious community had been rising, Jesus’s followers responded to this message with a massive defection. They defected because of three factors. First, they demanded a sign from Him (vv. 30–31) after He had just given them a sign in the miraculous multiplication of bread and fish. Then they misunderstood Jesus’s origin (vv. 41–42), and finally they misunderstood the important realities of His message (v. 52). Because they didn't understand who He was, they would never be able to embrace what He did or taught.

Pink Floyd, Richard Wagner and NWA! I am pretty messed up if you ask me!

Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,

You Are Rebellious

You like to live life on your own terms, and loud music is often a part of that. You have to let it all out!
You tend to be a loner, but you prefer to be with your people if you can find them. You rock out better (and louder) with a few friends.

Thanks Luvvy!

You Are Uncomplicated

You appreciate the simple things in life, and you know that a song just needs a couple hooks in order to draw you in. You aren't necessarily nostalgic, but you wish people remembered the past more. Hearing an old favorite song will always put you in a good mood.

Thanks, Luv, for today's What Does Your Favorite Music Genre Say About You Quiz.

Hi Everybody!

(((HUGS)))

Hi Luv. I’m either rebellious or contemplative, as I like Rock music in about equal measure as Classical. But as a contemplative rebel, it probably makes me a bad employee.

You Are Complex

You don't see anything on its surface, and you are big on experimentation. You prefer music that takes your mind places.
You are a big believer in improvising in life, doing what feels right at the time. It's all a journey - including a song.

You Are Fun

You have a light heart and a spring in your step. And you are looking for music that is as spirited as you are. You know how to party the night away - either with a group or with one other person. Or heck, even all by yourself. You just need the right playlist!

No Prog Rock?

Good morning, Everyone.

Good morning

Thank you, Luvy, for preparing the Canteen
for today's activities.

Good morning Canteeners.

Just dropping in for a quick visit.
I'll be around tomorrow night, though.
It appears that we will be having an interesting weekend, weather-wise.
The good news is that the homestead might get only an inch or two
Won't know for sure until it's over.
Regardless, we'll be getting back to cold.

You Are Deep

You have a lot going on in that heart of yours,
and you're not one to hide it. You let it all out.
You connect best with music that moves you emotionally.
You'd be the first to admit that many of your favorite songs are sad ones.

Have a tech guy coming to check out a problem with our alarm system
and you know how that goes; they have a window of 4 hours.
Fingers crossed they come earliest time frame.

The Canteen is

Come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM

Hi Luv.

Sez here this week that “I’m just a soul whose intentions are good” as the song by the Animals professed. Just “don’t let me be misunderstood.”

You Are Creative

You are often misunderstood by the world, and you’ll admit that you’re a bit of a tortured genius. And the music you like is quite dark!

You are more pensive than you seem, and more complex. You may feel like lashing out at times, but there is always a good reason for your rebellion.

Hai LUV! (((HUGS))) well it says I’m Complex. Hmmmm

You Are Creative

I dunno, but I did shock some friends over the Holidays by stating that I'd listened to Frank Zappa and the Vienna Boys' Choir on the same evening. They looked at me and asked, "They made an album together?" No, no, no, not what I meant...but if they had it would have been awesome...
