I Believe In



I Believe In:
Text: Based on Apostle’s Creed, arranged by Mattaniah Gibson
Music: Slane


I believe in God, Father almighty
Maker of Heaven, earth, landmass and sea
And I believe in Jesus His son
Conceived by the Spirit, born of a virgin

That He was beaten and then crucified
By Pontius Pilate and that He then died
Went down into hell, but there did not stay
And that in triumph He arose the third day

That He then ascended to God in Heaven
There He is seated at His right hand
That one day He will come in glory again
To judge all the living and judge all the dead

I believe in God, the Holy Ghost
The catholic church and communion of saints
The resurrection and forgiveness of sins
The life everlasting. Amen! Amen!

Just what are these "viols" and "timbrels"? Are those cymbals simply "cymbolic" (couldn't resist a pun there) or are they the real deal? More modern translations, such as the NKJV  say they played on &q

One Full Score of Years: Reflections

Well, it's happened and yes it does feel a little weird. "How!" (Taken at the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial Museum in St. Louis, 2012) Today marks the second full decade of my existence. It's a relief that in no sense, technical or otherwise, am I still a teenager. I've entered decade number three and I'm excited to see what lies ahead. But first, I want to look back. Ten years ago today, I can remember being primarily concerned with my (fake) gun collection, my G. I. Joes, my thousands of ideas of stories that never got anywhere, and dominating the world of Civilization III Conquest (I claim the title of ultimate champion for winning the "Age of Discovery Scenario" as the Aztecs about five years ago). I had been playing the guitar for three years at that point.  Fact: In a previous life, I lead the South to victory  against Lincoln's hordes.  Also, I believe that was about the age when my goal in life was to be the n
