A CHRIST-mass gift for my Christian RF family.
I truly hope you enjoy the following recording.
Enter in/to the Stable... was one of my very most beautiful compositions written while I was still a church musician. This was my last christmas there... and while I no longer fit any church structures... I still loved Jesus' message... (as REALLY I still do now) that the kingdom of God is Within. It seems rather a shame that no one should enjoy the recording and so... while it makes me just a bit melancholy... and no longer reflects my present experience of life and God as it used to... I offer it to you with love. (the recording is very rough, recorded "live" as I sang and played it at mass, that christmas morning... on my little non-stereo voice dictator. I typed out the words below in case they could not all be understood.)

The Song.
Enter In/To The Stable
Click title link to hear the song. Tinsel and lights are as nothing In the shining of your glory In the shimmer of your grace The myths of men are all but folly, and fade out In the splendor of your truth No story can erase The little fingers and the tiny hands That would grow to work great wonders In a cold ungrateful land The tiny toes, the little feet That would one day walk the lonely road to calvary That we might be free… Enter in Enter in … to the Stable Enter in to the spirit he is waiting there for you Enter in Enter in… to his glory… You don’t have to travel far To find the morning star You only need to look within Enter in….. Wise men seek him and they see the signs That the others walk on by And they take a different road The world around them runs a tired race But they’ve given up their burdens For a life of truth and grace… The shining eyes that see eternity They look into the very heart and soul of me… The little mouth … The tiny voice… That proclaimed unto the world That it now had a choice… Between death and sin, Or life within. Enter in Enter in … to the Stable Enter in to the wonder of his kingdom within.. Enter in Enter in… to his glory… Be a Wise man, be a king But you must give your everything. The JOY will make your Spirit Sing….. HallelUYah! HallelUYah! Hosanah on High! Dawn of Creation… Light of the World… Child of salvation Eternal Word… Star of the Ages…to… To lead and to guide.. God Within us… And in him … we * abide….. Enter in Enter in … to the Stable Enter in-to his Spirit This isn’t a fable… Enter in Enter in… to the Story… Be a shepherd, be and angel… But you must come into the stable! And lay your life before the King.. There’s not a thing you cannot bring Why don’t you give him everything… Enter in… Lord Jesus… Enter in.

How come you're not smiling in the picture?

Because I don't really know you, I'm not quite sure what to make of your question. R U concerned about me? Genuinely? Doctrinally? Is there something you think you're seeing there? In my expression? Is there a judgement you're inclined to make? In my "joyless" expression? Or perhaps it's just a lighthearted curiosity... (that doesn't .... or does?to you... have something to do with my song?/OP?) Perhaps it is a sign to you? of how unhappy I am now that I no longer have my christian faith? I don't know. I'm literally grasping at straws here. But really your motivation doesn't matter... and I'm "game" to answer the question the best I can, because I guess in some kind of way it is a valid question. A valid curiosity. After all most people "smile" for their christmas card pictures... right?

ok then.
On the most superficial level I chose this particular picture because I looked the best in it,  and it was compositionally better than the others. My "default" expressions have always been of the more "serious" nature. Whenever I try "forcing" or "creating" a smile... it looks forced and created. not natural. It was no different this day. My only good "smiling" pictures are the REAL ones, the candid ones. We did not get any of those that day. As well, I am PARTICULARLY self conscious about smiling these days, because I have two cracked front teeth. And no money to pay to have them fixed. Still I have decided I really can't put it off any longer (it's been more than a year... maybe two) because greater damage caused by neglect will just cost me a whole lot more. So off to the charge card I go. Fixing my teeth will be my xmass gift to myself this year. Now... I don't mind digging just a bit deeper into the question. I do that sort of thing with myself all the time anyway. YOU may however be sorry you asked the question by the time I am done. (and everyone else)...
