Good Friday

Posted on by

and look me in the face, at least what’s left of it
tell me you still love me just a little bit
or nail me down, break the skin
hard enough to do me in
but don’t leave me hanging
dying and dangling
twisting in the wind

here, touch my side
let doubt be crucified
nailed with your wounded pride
to love’s grim altar
here, taste my flesh
my bloody humanness
i am no phantom guest
no skinless martyr

Our betrayal of the One who loves us most

I should have posted this yesterday, for Good Friday, but between work and being with family over at Dad’s place I didn’t get the chance. It’s from “The Twist,” words by Terry Taylor, music by Terry Taylor, David Raven, Jerry Chamberlain and Tim Chandler, recorded by The Swirling Eddies:

and look me in the face, at least what’s left of it
tell me you still love me just a little bit
or nail me down, break the skin
hard enough to do me in
but don’t leave me hanging
dying and dangling
twisting in the wind

Stations of the Cross

Posted on by

I’ve been putting embedded video after the jump lately, but this is a little different, so I’m going to leave it here on the front page.

We’re going to start featuring local video soon on the T-G web site. Our publisher bought a camera this week, and this was our first experiment — my first time ever editing in iMovie (or any other computer video editing program).

I have covered the Stations of the Cross ever since we’ve had one in Shelbyville, and last year I even did one of the readings. Unfortunately, this year I was trying to cover it with both still and video cameras, and so I wasn’t able to be in the moment as much as I usually am for this event.

The video was taken with a little $150 Flip video camera, which is shirt pocket-sized and a cinch to operate. I may have to use part of my stimulus payment to buy one of these for the Costa Rica trip.
