You Missed This One III: Easter Edition

I know this is typically a music blog, and a lot of the 'missed this ones' should probably follow suit. I couldn't avoid this one, which popped out to me while in discussion with High Schoolers last night in Matthew 26-28.

Behold, chapter 27. You missed this one:

51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split. 52 The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. 53 They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus’ resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people.


The bible is a funny book sometimes.  Not funny to laugh at...just amazing how among a few chapters about Jesus' death, this sentence is just added in there.  Just two sentences.

Seriously, if people were coming out of the tombs, I think that there would be more than a couple sentences in our daily paper.

But, that's just it.  Two sentences is enough for the bible.  No need to elaborate.

"The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life."

    "51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split."

    This verse alone signifies what Jesus has done as far as our relationship to the Father ...

    btw, thanks for the inspiration. Ever since I read your "missed posts", I've been more deliberate in reading/studying the Bible! Thanks again brother. And don't feel sorry for talking more about this than music :)

    Hey Bro - that's awesome to hear. And thanks for the encouragement. I love the symbolism in the torn curtain as well. (I think of that scene of the passion where the high priest shows up and he's got that "oh, ----" look on his face)

    Have a great resurrection celebration this weekend.

UPDATED 2021! Free your Freegal Music - Freegal App to iTunes [Your Music or MP3 Player]

UDPATE 1/21 OK - well, out of more responsibility  I had to figure out a legal  way to put mp3's on my son's simple mp3 player he got for Christmas this year (it's a $30 one from amazon...) Advertised as a kid-friendly player, I knew the features included a 'drag and drop' feature for mp3's.   Now that Apple has gone the way of 'music' the instructions below (original post!) are basically ancient history, but I'll leave them here for anyone who might want to refer to them. New instructions for 'freeing your freegal' music are as follows. First, I am assuming that you are using an app on a mobile device to 'download' the music to that device. 1. download music (3-7 songs a week for most folks on Freegal) to your mobile device. 2. connect your mobile device to a real computer  (sits on a desk or your lap, you know). 3. open up Finder or Open Device (depends on your platform) 4. find "Files" (on iPhone) 5. find the Freegal app ...

Brandon Hampton - Perfected in Love Chords

Image
Hi there. A great guitar teacher told me that the best way to improve "play by ear" (or ear training) was to transcribe songs.  So, that is what I've been practicing.   When I find a song I like that isn't really out there on the interwebs, I like to share my work in transcribing. Here's Mr. Brandon Hampton's song "Perfected in Love" As with many IHOP-community songs, there's the 4 tags at the end at your disposal...make sure to develop your own.  Same chords repeated. P.S. - Brandon, thanks for leading from electric.  Me gusta. Perfected In Love Brandon Hampton Key: B (figure out the melody played on guitar... it’s not too tough...  hint: B major scale, begin on F#) intro E - F# - G#m E - F# - G#m E - F# - G#m E - F# - G#m - B Oh...oh...oh... verse E - F# - G#m Surely goodness E - F# - G#m And mercy follow me E - F# - G#m - B All the days of my life E - F# - G#m Before...
