God’s Speed by Carolyn Arends

In a Christian culture that exhorts disciples of Jesus not to waste our pandemic experience or make sure we’ve got a side-hustle, the exhortation ‘Be still and know that I am God’ might suggest that the human problem is too much activity, not too little.
Here’s Carolyn Arends with her song God’s Speed (along with some cutting edge green screen video production).
The clip also features a cameo by Mark Buchanan’s book God Walk, which is currently sitting in my newly acquired pile.

Why so frantic
Little human
You’ve been racing
Long enough
It’s time for planting
Time for blooming
Growing at the
Speed of love
We’ve got to slow downTo catch up
Grow young
To grow up
No more chasing the wind
Let the Spirit lead
Till we slow down
To God’s Speed
May we slow down
To God’s speed

We can’t really eat out when we’re celebrating. And our plan to be away from home was scuttled as well.

But slow roasted lamb forequarter and a baked vegetable medley (all safe for eating restrictions) mean we can still celebrate anniversary number #38 most satisfactorily. Exceedingly satisfactorily.

Both competitions seem to have settled on their top sixes with positions seven and eight open to four or five teams. The next couple of weeks will see the situation narrow to position eight with about three teams vying to make up the numbers in the first week of the finals.
There’s a game of Rugby League on next Wednesday night if enough players stay healthy (either uninjured or COVID compliant).
A week or two ago the idea that a NSW second team could defeat QLD. That scenario is getting a bit of a trial run.

(Draws count as correct)
NRL (last round 5/8; season tally 86/124)
Manly
Souths
Easts
Cronulla

AFL (last round 6/9; season tally 85/135)
Port Adelaide
Essendon
Fremantle
Geelong
Brisbane
Greater Western Sydney

Robin And The 7 Hoods features songs that provide its stars opportunity to demonstrate their characteristic vocal stylings.
Dean Martin’s introduction and song Any Man Who Loves His Mother demonstrate the way in which the songs showcase the styles for which the performers were best known.
