A Rare Picture of My Daughter

By wyman on 10/30/2009 6:10 PM

Outside of the family photo posted elsewhere on this site, I don't normally post pictures of my wife and/or daughter. However, our church had "Trunk or Treat" Wednesday night and I see a picture of my eleven-year-old from that event that I thought I might be safe in posting. She and a few of her cohorts found their way into the Christmas musical costume room, apparently. So, without further adieu...

Where The Wild Things Are and The Arcade Fire

By wyman on 10/18/2009 3:38 PM

My daughter and I went to see "Where The Wild Things Are" on Saturday. A truly great film, in my opinion: thoughtful, beautiful, and filled with just the right balance of melancholy and joy. I will likely see it again. It struck me in the same way that the movie "The Secret Garden" struck me when I first saw it: which is to say, powerfully.

One of the main songs in the film is from a group called The Arcade Fire. Here is the song that plays on the official trailer. This may not be everybody's cup of tea, but I find it strangely moving and unique.

The Athanasian Creed Chanted In English

By wyman on 10/17/2009 11:38 AM

I received an email last week reminding me that I had once, some time back, posted an English chant of The Athanasian Creed (I think at the old blog address). I looked for it but could not find it. Then the person emailed me again saying he had found it. As I listen to it again I am once more reminded of the simply beauty, theological depth, and unifying power of the ancient creeds. So I thought I'd provide the link to the .mp3. Get in a quiet place and have a listen for a great devotional moment!

Once again, the 17th century English Baptists were encouraged in The Orthodox Creed (1678) to study, know, and recite the Apostles', Nicene, and Athanasian Creed. I think they might would be pleased with this. ;-)
