He Looks Down Low, from Paul Zach and friends (featuring Jessica Fox).
I’m currently listening to Zach’s songs on high rotation.
They are simple and engaging.

His power is working through the weak
His wisdom is speaking through foolish things
The last, the lost, the least
He’s building his kingdom with these
For our Lord sits up high
But He looks down low, He looks down low
Yes, our Lord sits up high
But He looks down low, He looks down low

A very long weekend of football.
Seven out of eight again for NRL, and it could easily be that again this round.
Five out of nine again for AFL, not the sort of consistency I really want.

“Our Father, Assist us mercifully with your grace, O Lord God of our salvation, that we may enter with joy upon the meditation of those mighty acts by which you have promised us life and immortality; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.”

Jesus’ suffering – our joy.
The Easter paradox.

It took until today to get around to watching Alfred Hitchcock’s Strangers On A Train.
The movie must have hindered casual conversations with unknown passengers on various forms of public transport.
It also must have been a set-back for the merry-go-round industry as well.
Star Robert Walker would die not long after this movie’s completion.
His performance, both manic and restrained draws the viewer along.
The characters for whom we’re meant to have sympathy are not that compelling.
If things work out for them, it’s okay, but doesn’t feel like a biggie.
No, it’s Walker’s Bruno Anthony, and what’s going to happen to him that you’ll want to see.
