Let’s Do It!

Children playing on the Lion and the Lamb

A stuffy Philadelphia Art Critic is getting all huffy about a proposed sculpture installation of the Peaceable Kingdom (famous paintings done by Edward Hicks, a nineteenth century Quaker minister and folk artist) in Aviator Park, part of Logan’s Park in Philadelphia.

He says it is a desecration of a celebrated religious parable and:

I find it impossible to reconcile the intense spirituality of Peaceable Kingdom with the playground goofiness of Crying Giant. 

Philadelphia Inquirer August 3, H12

I disagree. Children playing on the Lion and the Lamb is not inconsistent with the message of the Peaceable Kingdom.  “A Child Shall lead them”.

Here is a video of Tom Otterness’s work, the artist who is doing the sculptures:

Anwar Ibrahim’s Historic PKR Victory Speech at his house

background: In the March 8, 2008 Malaysia Election, Anwar Ibrahim’s opposition party that mainly campaigned on youtube (because the current party controls the press and the right to assemble) won an unprecedented 71 seats. Here are some excerpts from his speech that Anwar made in his living room at the victory party.

With everyone ushered into his living room, the 60-year-old restored order with a quick, “Yang Berhormats, kita dah nak bermula. (YBs, we are about to start)

We called this meeting to meet all the Parliament and state representatives, to remind them of their commitment to a reform agenda.

This is a historic moment and marks the beginning of a new era for the country, PKR and our political partners. We won because of the support and the aspirations of all the different races.

Our representatives will be constantly reminded that the mandate is given by all Malaysians and not any specific race, Once we are done with setting up or supporting our partners in the formation of state governments, everyone must get to work immediately,

There will be no new cars or huge budgets for renovating offices and so forth. Those are the excesses of the past that we must not adopt.

We will also not surrender any cars to the outgoing excos as is the normal practice, so that everyone uses the existing vehicles. Because the tradition of selling cars to the outgoing Menteris Besar cheaply need to be stopped,

On Saturday, Malaysia went through a historic moment more important than sending a man into space.

It was momentous not because it had given the opposition its biggest mandate. It was significant not because it denied Barisan Nasional its routine two-thirds majority. It was meaningful not because it was a peaceful transition.

But it was historic because Malaysians have come of age and broke away from their communal fears to vote away from racial lines.

The rakyat are used to promises to end corruption, provide transparency and to help the poor regardless of race before. Hopefully, PKR will keep theirs.”

The Best Christian Albums for 2007

Of the music below, the album that I have heard that I like the best is Tell Me What You Know by Sara Groves. I could relate to her music and its message because it simply tells how Sara was blown away by her African mission trip to the victims of poverty and social injustice. She just asked them to Tell Me What You Know. Even though she is famous and I’m not, and she’s a girl and I’m a guy I can relate to her spiritual trip!

12 – The Heat, NeedtoBreath

11 – The Ringing Bell, Derek Webb
