It's A Family Affair

I can't put my finger on it, but this Sly & The Family Stone is what I'm on right now.

The 70's.
Big hair.
Bold colors.
Big ideas.

But most importantly...Real music.

Sly & The Family Stone get me so inspired I can't even properly put it into words.



Back then, music didn't have to be 4 or 5 minutes long, or even have an accompanying video to express a point.

I hate to say it, but most of the music nowadays doesn't inspire me to do anything but turn the radio off.

But, thank Black Jesus for YouTube and Itunes. At least I can download what I like to hear.

Speaking of Black Jesus, I went to church today.

Yes, I know it's Saturday, but I keep the Sabbath. And for me, the Sabbath is on the last day of the week, which is Saturday, not Sunday.

I posted my anti-Christmas message on FB the other day. I feel really awkward when people wish me a Merry Christmas and I mumble a half-hearted "thank you." I don't know if I should just politely say "Oh, I don't celebrate Christmas." I've tried doing that before.

But then I get blank stares followed by "Ohhhh - are you atheist?"

Um, no. I'm not an atheist.

But for those who DO celebrate Christmas (and can't imagine why anyone else wouldn't want to), I simply ask them to show me in scripture where Jesus asks to be remembered in that way. End. of. conversation. People can't show it to me because it's nowhere in scripture. If anything, in Jeremiah 10, Jesus purposely advises what not to do. Even the most basic history book will say that Christmas is a pagan celebration. Well the most basic history book, or Huey from the Boondocks:



Heck, maybe I'll just show everyone who asks this YouTube.

Peace...
