For the last few weeks I’ve been carefully going through DAW software to install for recording and editing. And I’ve again settled upon Cubase 6 because of its VST capabilities (amplifier emulation). More to come with that because the goal is to record my playing to hear back what works and what doesn’t. So, a Fire-wire interface with editing software is what’s new and what’s to come.

Here’s a great message about what we’re able to get away with and why. Feeling responsible for where notes are placed and where they’re most welcomed. Where playing it safe is by arpeggio or just doing notes that are within the chord you’re playing over. From wrong to right and landing on your feet where your sound is correct rather than harming people. Playing to justify shock and trauma in what comes about during a melodic progression. “It’s where you put the notes and not where the notes are; that is the most important thing.” Got the news. My uncle just died. –He’s gone, the family is distraught. Confused. So spent time on my guitar alone with the doors closed to just play it through for hours. More time in the zone not really caring what was accurate or not, but it was. I wanted to hear me and my mortality in this playing. Because it’s there. Some of my best playing in a long time. Think I’m going to need sound absorption material for these walls. It gets too loud, but no one seems to complain. So long Charles. As a requirement for Ryan to earn his Webelo rank, he had to complete a community citizenship project. He would in turn speak with a city official to describe his project and thereafter mark this task as complete. This is one more additional requirement accomplished to earn that rank and progress. It so happens, he pointed out various signs of blight among traffic signs in the city that were defaced with graffiti. While in his scout uniform, photos were taken of him pointing to those signs to turn in and inform. Good turn done. Our personal war on Autism continues. In other news, between Girl Scouts and Karate, Miranda is heading for Karate advancement. Decision made. Now on the treadmill moving at about 2.6mph with a 5% incline. Figured post to this journal while on the go to redeem the time. Posting from the phone. Here are some highlights or productivity points of the day:
Just spent too much cash on Scout material, uniforms and project stuff for Ryan. But there’s a return on that investment. No question. He’s still first year in Webelos with the recent transfer to another pack. However, we’re active and doing activities together at home. Yesterday we reviewed the Scout Oath, Motto, and Scout Law and Scout Slogan. Just to get a test of what’s ahead with Scouts. Yes, he’s still a cub. We have an excellent pack that deserves our highest gratitude for a well developed and managed program. Any opportunity I can find to give back, I’m going to.
GREAT prayer time today. About coming back to basics and a softening of the heart. So, I’ve reordered a TMS (Topical Memory System) again to start fresh. You might want to consider the same. Memorized these over and over some while ago and they brought such life and renewal. And clarity and promise. So for today I’m rifling some of them off from memory and I’m so pleased and grateful they came back. Hidden deep within to resurface. I very much miss them, so I’m getting back to it just to review and build upon what’s there. This Spirit is going to grow within because something is stirring inside much like my passion for wilderness and music, only much more and this is everlasting. Day by day heaven nears and even if this is just a single day at a time, that is enough because there is peace. TMS: Familiar ground and roots revisited:
Just spent some funds on hardware for family time and personal use that are about symbols of interest that have meaning. A plumb line bob and circle compass as unconventional symbols to carry and keep about the home. Simple pieces that serve as instruments to explain to the children what they are, what they do and why they exist. Physical reminders for the pocket, on the desk, or on the go to hold, feel and see. Story pieces for the kids and a visual explanation of what they represent. Tangible reminders of significance to serve a purpose other than what is intended. That the children will learn about what these are to see truth and integrity. Less than common articles of faith that have meaning about how decisions are made, how time is spent, how we behave and how resources get applied. What these symbolically mean in life. Here’s a video segment of a topic entitled “The Church at War.” This is the same church where ‘fellowship’ is a spoke within the wheel illustration I learned quite some while ago. The wheel is an expression of the productive life of a believer. That a person who chooses to live a life of faith, puts into practice these areas of discipline that balance a follower’s life. What to do when one chooses to pursue God. Personally, I believe there ought to be additional spokes, but these are the essential ones to gain traction, get distance and grow. That without these four, if a spoke is missing or underdeveloped, the wheel can become lopsided and just doesn’t travel or gain distance quite as well. Or to survive and thrive during a life where there’s unending conflict inside. The message here goes well beyond that with four principles about how to fight. And not to win every time, but to win enough to win the war. 
Sign me up. I’m on this side of the covenant with Elohim’s beautiful people. So, just for more to hide in my heart, I’ve endeavored to memorize the Shema. שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ יְהוָה אֶחָ But I want to go further and memorize what Yeshua said to Nicodemus about it when he quoted that when they were together. Both in Hebrew and in English. Sarit Hadad. Kshalev Boche. שרית חדד – כשהלב בוכה.
Here’s a piece of devotional music that’s of use to bring you closer to our Father while reading Colossians 3:1-17. It’s a 6 minute melody of prayer and appeal to His Spirit.

New words appear today within my little black scratchpad notebook I carry with me. An effort to see and think these words to carry them through. To repeat them in writing in simple pencil in small letters carefully and legibly. They appear as an effort to somehow feel them as if they would have more meaning. And they did because I know where they come from.
Play, hear, see and do at your own peril.
Spent a short two-days this weekend in our borrowed land of the Ahwahneechee. Exploration with time together most of all in very beautiful place. Just lunch together in such a place had its reward overflowing. January 2012 and we’re just getting started with the new year. Renewed the unlimited visitation pass and we have plenty of spots picked out through the calendar for our return, Lord willing. Blessings Abundant   Time continues its march. It is unforgiving and puts upon us this thing called age. With what happens during that time is a return on our effort. The measure of our results finds its way before our Father. A life-time statement of faith, loyalty and endurance. My prayer is that our children become a light that points to our Father and His kingdom.
