Blogocentric Formulations

by Jeff

Rated: 18+ · Book · Biographical · #1399999

My primary Writing.com blog.

Logocentric (adj). Regarding words and language as a fundamental expression of an external reality (especially applied as a negative term to traditional Western thought by postmodernist critics).

Sometimes I just write whatever I feel like. Other times I respond to prompts, many taken from the following places:

"JAFBG"

In response to "Do As I Say, Not As I Do"

Hypocrisy is what seems to be the core of the problem with many believers. We strive to be more like Christ,yet we stumble along the way, (more often, than not).We know that it is inherently wrong to judge others. And it should end on that note. But do we? When God tells us what sin is, we feel conflicted to keep our mouths shut. Yet, we pay the consequences,in the end. It's called, 'division'. And that is playing right along with fire. That loved one, that does not adhere to biblical values, will not attend your church, because you made it clear that their lifestyle or perspectives are sinful. I call it, 'The Wedge'.A Wedge is a powerful, simple, even primitive tool. But it can divide families,friends,cities and nations. You see— by pointing out the 'error of their ways', it places a stigma upon the listener.Hate, begets hate. The Devil claps his hands in glee, because you picked up his favorite tool.. and pounded that Wedge so deep, that it would take God, to fix the damage. We are instructed to edify one another, not tear down. Jesus himself,sought out those that were immersed in sin. He didn't avoid them, He invited them into His heart. For me, being a Christian,isn't just about attending church.But it helps. Going to church, comes from the desire to seek truth, and to worship. But it also about fellowshipping.

You were right about many things. You sparked a discussion, that everyone should be talking about, too. (And not just from believers).

I think that no one needs to point out that we are living in troublesome times. We,as Christians:(regardless how anyone defines it), need to step back and examine ourselves,(and pray), before we witness to others. It is important to remember that we do not base our faith on 'feelings'! It is based on God's Living Word, and being led by His Spirit..

A worthy dream. Cooking and baking are indeed skills/crafts. Writers need more than food for thought. I like the name Cheffrey.

Well, I wasn't really taught to cook when I was a kid. I had cooking in home ec in Jr. High so I learned a lot then. I didn't really start cooking until I met my husband in the army and we got our place. We still have our Betty Crooker cook book. Heck, I can remember one thanksgiving overseas, we forgot to take the giblets out of the turkey and were a bit befuddled when we pulled the bird out of the oven and found them. But, after 32 years, I'd say I'm a decent cook. I can follow a recipe and manage a simple substitute on my own. For the most part, the food comes out tasty enough. Could I be more skilled in the kitchen? I suppose so - if I had more time. Glad to know I'm not alone!

Learning to cook well is a worthy goal. I'm happy to be able to prepare food that does the job without any unintended side effects.

I think it was in The Joy of Cooking that I read that any kitchen should have

Olive oil
Lemons
Salt
Pepper
Rosemary (fresh)
Thyme (fresh)

With that short list of "always on" ingredients, it's hard to miss. I might have forgotten one part or added something that doesn't belong. But I firmly believe that if I had those always at hand, my food would taste better.

Anyways, I do wholeheartedly recommend buying The Joy of Cooking. It really has something for everybody. From baking your own French baguette to making mayonnaise from scratch, it's all there.

In response to "The Least Exciting Love Language"

I have a relative--well, I guess my SIL is officially divorced so strike that relative. But she was like your wife's family.

I've found it difficult at best to find something special for family and friends as I get older. These days if you buy a gift, mailing it may cost as much as the gift. My kids know me very well. They know a gift card to my local coffee shop, or to Barnes & Noble, or even Starbucks really hits the spot.

My epigram of late: Cash is not crass!

You Can't Kill My Rock 'n Roll

"The Soundtrack of Your Life" | Day 28

"You Can't Kill My Rock 'n Roll"
by Hardcore Superstar

I think it's fitting that I started "The Soundtrack of Your Life"

with a song from a Norwegian glam metal band, and I'm finishing out this year's playlist with a Swedish heavy metal band from the country next door. This is also the perfect song to end this year's playlist with because it's a really high energy song about how music endures. At least in this context, it's a promise that there's more music blogging to come. The song says it all: "you can't kill my rock 'n roll."

I'd actually like to dedicate this year's final blog entry to all of my fellow Soundtrackers who shared some fantastic music over the past month. In particular:

eyestar~*

for including "Happy" and "Can't Stop The Feeling," which are two of my kids' favorite songs.

♥OctOGre tHiNg♥

for some great classics like "Layla" and "Come A Little Bit Closer."

Alex Morgan

for reminding me about how great Alabama and The Pointer Sisters are.

Anni Pumpkin

for the eclectic collection of artists including everything from Cage the Elephant to Sara Bareilles and Dan + Shay.

Unapologetic Witch

for giving the Soundtrackers a try for the first time. I hope we see you again for future activities (don't worry, not all of them are daily challenges for a whole month!

)

💙 Carly: Joan Watson

for the great worship bands and being a fellow Lip Sync Battle aficionado.

Jessiboo

for a playlist that has a bunch of my all-time favorite artists on it.

Elfin Dragon-finally published

for giving Soundtrackers a shot this year.

A Warped Witch I Be

for reminding me how great the P. Diddy and Faith Evans cover of "I'll Be Missing You" is, along with bands I haven't listened to in forever like Linkin Park, The Fray, Fleetwood Mac, etc.

Redtowrite

for the Chris Isaak throwback and some great tribute versions of hit songs.

Leger~SoGrateful

for probably my personal favorite playlist (other than my own

), and reminding me that Taylor Momsen is actually a really decent musical artist.

LeJenD'

for being another Cage the Elephant fan and for featuring that George Harrison tribute, which is one of my favorite performances ever.

Olivia's writing a novel

for writing serialized narrative entries, which is really cool.

Nutty Puppy Mummy Mwah-ha-ha

for including some truly iconic musical acts, and everything from Whitney Houston to The Kinks to Superchick.

🌻 pwheeler ~ love joy peace

for some really amazing worship music, which is a genre I've been enjoying a lot lately.

BlueMoon

for some great cover versions of some of my favorite popular songs.

stevengepp for consistently being one of the first to post their entry every single day.

zwisis for the race to the finish, adding a ton of great catch-up songs in the final days.

You guys (and gals) are all awesome, and it was a pleasure to blog my playlist from last year alongside you all. I hope that you'll all join me for "Musicology Anthology"

and the rest of "The Soundtrackers Group"

activities coming up later in the year. In the meantime, keep writing, keep blogging, and keep on rockin'!
