MAKER OF THE TREES

Hello friends...

TREES by Joyce Kilmer
I think that I shall never see
A poem as lovely as a tree
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth's flowing breast
A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair
Upon whose bosom snow has lain
Who intimately lives with rain
Poems are made by fools like me
But only God can make a tree.

Trees are every changing as the seasons are every changing. At times they are full of life with leaves, and buds, and birds...but then with a change in the season...the become dormant, leafless, alone and dark. The first picture was taken at one of my patients house...and it was mammoth. Standing at the base of the tree and looking up was like looking up at a skyscraper reaching to the sky...disappearing into the clouds...leaving me with a slight stagger as my head tilted back. The second picture is a picture of a tree in my front yard...and each year explodes from naked branches to a covering of life that makes me just sit back and wonder.

The third picture is that same tree in the second picture...but with the sun glowing in the back ground giving it a surreal...almost burning bush type of feel to it. These trees are like fingerprints...so similar...but each one...and individual character in the novel of God's creation...much like us as human beings.

In our spiritual walk...trees play an important part in our death and our lives.

Trees were...created by God..."in the beginning". When man was given free reign in the garden...with conditions.

"Then the Lord God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it. The Lord God commanded the man, saying, From any TREE of the garden you may eat freely; but from the TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you shall surely die."

Of course...man and woman ate...and we fell from grace and entered into the process of physical death and separation from God. The downfall of mankind was in the shadow of disobedience at the tree.

Mankind needed a way back...as Joni Mitchell's song Woodstock...sung by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young..."we've got to get ourselves...back to the garden." Of course...no man...wo-man's...hu-man's efforts can ever get us back to that garden experience. The fall came from disobedience... the restoration must come from obedience...and that restoration would come at the point of a tree.


"For the love of Christ controls us...having concluded this...that one died (Jesus) for all (us)...therefore all (us) died; and He died (Jesus) for all (us) so that they who live (us) might no longer live for themselves, (us) but for Him (Jesus) who DIED and ROSE again on their (us) behalf."
(II Corinthians 5:14-15)

This death...took place on a tree.

"And He Himself bore our sins in his body on the TREE/CROSS...so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness...for BY HIS WOUNDS YOU WERE HEALED." (I Peter 2:24; Isaiah 53:4,11)

Physical, spiritual, emotional, healing was procured on the tree.

FINAL THOUGHTS...FINALLY

Phil Keaggy took a poem by F.W. Pitt called MAKER OF THE UNIVERSE that he found in a devotional called THE CONTINUAL BURNT OFFERING... put together by H.A. Ironside. The poem speaks of how the things of the universe created by the Creator...were used to kill Him as he became a sacrifice in our place. If you get a chance...listen to Phil's song.

MAKER OF THE UNIVERSE (F.W. Pitt)

The Maker of the universe
As Man, for men was made a curse
The claims of Law which He had made
Unto the uttermost He paid

His holy fingers made the bough
Which grew the thorns that crowned His brow
The nails that pierced His hands were mined
In secret places He designed

He made the forest whence there sprung
The TREE on which His body hung
He died upon a CROSS of wood
Yet made the hill on which it stood

The sky that darkened o'er His head
By Him above the earth was spread
The sun that hid from Him its face
By His decree was poised in space

The spear which spilled His precious blood
Was tempered in the fires of God
The grave in which His form was laid
Was hewn in rocks His hands had made

The throne on which He now appears
Was His from everlasting years
But a new glory crowns His brow
And every knee to Him shall bow

THE BRIAN MASON SHOW (End of an Era...Beginning of a Destiny)

Greetings and Salutations O Ye Lovers of Contemporary Christian Music.

I became a believer in the death, burial, resurrection of Jesus Christ in the fall of 1970. At that time I was a young man...in a band called THE BLIND DISTORTION...and music was my life and passion. When I became a follower of Jesus...I thought my love for music was over. I quit the band, burned my albums, and went away to Bible School. Little did I know that there were rumblings across the world of the Jesus Movement...with what was filled with people known as Jesus Freaks...playing Jesus music (not to be called CCM until later).

Once I heard music...that was not limited to organ and off key singing... (I have since come to love the music of the church...and it ain't as off key as I once thought)...I was excited. I could pick up my guitar again...and rock about The Rock.

Back in 1970...there was no Christian Radio...no venue to listen to this music called Jesus music. Then I found various syndicated shows that were broadcast around the nation... but sometimes it was hard to find them. Shows like MAKE A JOYFUL NOISE with Paul Baker...JESUS SOLID ROCK with Jerry Bryant...THE ROCK THAT DOESN'T ROLL (can't remember this guys name)...THE SCOTT ROSS SHOW (Scott Ross)...THE LARRY BLACK SHOW (Larry Black taking Scott Ross' place). I remember tuning in my radio dial...trying to find these various shows...but the static...at times...presented a problem...but my hunger for this type of music helped me to endure the static...just to hear this style of music and the D.J. patter.


Then in 1980...there was a major breakthrough in NASHVILLE TN. On May 4th, 1980...on WSM-FM radio... a new show was premiered...that was (1) local (2) no static. THE BRIAN MASON SHOW was born...playing music about being born again. It started out as a 30 minute show...but expanded...by popular demand to 1 hour.

Since 1980...there has been 1500 plus shows...and I have listened to the majority of them.

In February 1983 WSM had a format change...and Brian was off...and back on again at WLAC... where he stayed for 15 years...and then another format change in 1998...Brian landed at MIX 92.9. The show has gone from the early days of 30 minutes to now where Brian is on from 6:00 to 10:00. Over the years...Brian has been on radio, TV (who can forget watching Christian music videos with Brian)...emceeing various shows...shared a dressing room with Andy Griffith, gave Noel Paul Stookey (of Peter, Paul, Mary) and toy hammer...and has been pivotal in many new artists...becoming major artists. The beauty of THE BRIAN MASON SHOW...is music, interviews, access to the people we love to listen to, putting a human face on the voices that we hear.

I have had the honor of meeting Brian...having lunch with him occasionally...and counting him as a friend. Oh we are not best buddies...but I do fell a kinship with Brian in his love for Jesus...CCM...and of course Phil Keaggy. Brian's music, interviews, laughter, have been a source of encouragement for me in times of troubles, despair, good times, bad times...and has always reminded me of the reason for the music and the reason for living.

Well...on June 26th, 2011...the last BRIAN MASON SHOW will be broadcast...as Brian will be retiring the show. I say retiring the show...because Brian is not retiring from life. This is merely the transition from what God had him do for the past 31 years...to the next phase of whatever it is that God has for him.

This is BITTERSWEET for me (and of course...it is all about me). I am rejoicing at the next step in Brian's journey...BUT...what am I going to do on Sunday Mornings. I guess I could read the Bible...pray...which I do while I am listening to Brian...BUT...who can I blame now for being late to Sunday School...as I sit out in my car...listening to the interviews...or trying to win a CD by being the 6 or 7th caller?

These last two shows of course will be good...with June 19th show with Phil Keaggy (and who knows who else)...and the final show...with Gary Chapman...who was the first guest on the show many years ago.

When a T.V. show comes to an end...they either abruptly end it with all the lose ends dangling... or they wrap it up...tying up all the lose ends. Well...we will be able to tie up a few loose ends on June 26th...the LAST SHOW. A few of Brian's friends will be having a Goodbye Celebration and Reception on June 26, 2011 at 2:00 P.M. at Woodmont Hills Church at 3710 Franklin Road in Nashville, TN 37204. I will be there...and hope to meet other Brian Mason friends there also.

Well...I would say good-bye Brian...BUT...I don't plan to not see Brian any longer. We will have lunch...we will bump into each other at concerts...we will talk on the telephone.

Be sure to check out the BRIAN MASON SHOW website at http://www.brianmason.com/


Brian Mason...if you are reading this Ruminator Rambling...I love and appreciate you.

WILDERNESS PRAISE

Howdy do...hungry and thirsty Kingdom Seekers....have ya been in the wilderness? Have ya been hiding out in the wilderness from your own personal Absalom's....(see II Samuel 15 and Psalm 3 and Psalm 63 for insights into David's wilderness experience). The question is...what do you do in a dry and thirsty land where no water is?

The first collage represents my connection to PSALM 63. I read the book SCOTT FREE...by Scott Ross (you can go to the CBN website and read the chapters on line). It was the Scott Ross connection where I first heard about a guitar player named PHIL KEAGGY. Phil was in a group called GLASS HARP... and had left that group after a commitment to Jesus and ended up in Freeville New York at a Christian community called LOVE INN. Scott Ross was a New York disk jockey who ran in the circle with recording stars of the 60's (he married Nedra Talley one of the Ronnettes). Scott became a Christian and worked with Pat Robertson to spread the Word of God to the youth via radio and Jesus music interspersed with music of the times on THE SCOTT ROSS SHOW. In this community...Phil was discipled by a man named TED SANDQUIST...and also played in THE PHIL KEAGGY BAND (aka PKB). Scott and Ted did a teaching called A NEW SONG FOR A NEW AGE (also another life changing teaching for me was MAKING MEN OF GOD). Ted and Scott were teaching and during the teaching they would take time to teach the students songs that were being created at LOVE INN...that were more than just 3 chords and a rhyme. They were songs that were thought out...intricate at time...and were vertical more than horizontal (this was before the worship genre of today). The album featured the musicians, singers, worshippers at LOVE INN...including Phil, Nedra, Ted, etc. The teaching series also had the words and chords to the music. At that time I was a "song leader" (this was before the term worship leader, creative arts, etc was utilized)...at a church called NEW LIFE CHAPEL. I introduced songs like LION OF JUDAH...YOUR STEADFAST LOVE...HE IS MY LIGHT (Psalm 27)... ALL THAT I CAN DO...SELAH (an instrumental by Phil that I could not play)....COURTS OF THE KING...and the song that this Rambling is about...PSALM 63.

This was a Psalm that David wrote when he was in the wilderness of Judah... hiding out from his rebellious son Absalom. (Read II Samuel 15 and Psalm 3 for more details). This place called the wilderness always has a special place for God's people...it was a route to the promised land...it was a place of rebellion and 40 years of circles...it was a place where the Spirit led Jesus to be tempted by the devil...and come out the other side full of the Spirit to begin his ministry... and for David it was a refuge from his enemies. Whatever it is...in it's loneliness it can be a place of divine intervention and supply...IF...I said IF...you choose to make it that place.

WILDERNESS: (1) eremos=lonesome, waste, desert, desolate, solitary
(2) midbar=the sense of driving...a pasture that is an open field where cattle are driven...a desert.

NOTE: An interesting meaning for me as a Speech Pathologist is...speech including it's organ. It is this part of the wilderness definition that David will utilize as he was in this lonely place.


This next collection of pictures are from my first trip to Kenya Africa. The first two pictures are cisterns for fresh water in the midst of a dry place...and the next one is me refreshed in the Lord with Lake Victoria. Water was everywhere but you still had to make sure it was drinkable. When I was flying over Kenya in a propeller plane...we were low enough to see the land...the animals...the people... and the Lord spoke to me that the brown, dry land...interspersed with lush, green, foliage...was the condition of Africa...the people of Africa...the people of the world...and last by not least...MY CONDITION. He spoke that PEOPLE NEED THE LORD...to be refreshed in the dry land. The last picture in this collage is a storefront church that I saw. It was in a city...that had sorrow surrounding it...and was like an oasis...a place where people could be refreshed.

David's Psalm 63 has a subtitle of Joy In The Fellowship of God (A Psalm of David when he was in the wilderness of Judah).

David first states his problem/condition and then continues on with the solutions by making declarations of faith...and utilizes his body parts...to make these PRAISES (shabach/shah=vahch)= To commend, praise, to adore; to glory in something; to be still or quiet, or pacify someone. Shaback goes in two directions (1) praising (2) calming. The other 3 references speak either about calming the tumultuous sea (Psalm 65:7; Psalm 89:9) or about hushing up things within one's heart (Proverbs 29:11) There appears to be a connection between praising with words and soothing with words). [The Spirit-Filled Bible notes)

Note...this principle is very pivotal about how...your internal...influences your external. That is why David would tell his internal (his soul) to bless the Lord (Psalm 103:1-5). There is and can be a dynamic shift in the atmosphere/environment around you by what is going on within your heart. If you are not at peace...then you will stir things up around you...but that's for another Rambling at another time.

David begins Psalm 63 with a declaration of who God is to him...O GOD YOU ARE MY GOD. Not a god...but my God. David makes the choice of not dragging himself out of bed at 10 or 11 o'clock...or if he does get up earlier...does not turn on the T.V. to check the latest bad news about the world...EARLY WILL I SEEK YOUR FACE. David choose to SEEK God...in the middle of a dry place...when he did not see...or have things revealed to his senses (Hebrews 11:1 The Amplified Bible).

David's internal and external...his soul and his flesh...desired God. MY SOUL THIRSTS FOR YOU AND MY FLESH LONGS FOR YOU. I think that sometimes...I don't drink water...and don't realize that I am getting dehydrated. Sometimes...I may go for days with out realizing that I have not been drinking from the living waters...but from the soda pop of the world...and I am not getting quenched. Oh that I would hunger and thirst after righteousness and be filled. (Matthew 5:6)

David speaks of the condition of the land he is in...where is thirsty and longing...IN A DRY AND THIRSTY LAND...WHERE THERE IS NO WATER. We know that even in our wilderness...where there is no water...there is a rock...and that rock is called the ANOINTING.
(I Corinthians 10:1-4). You can either dry up in the wilderness...or stay hydrated by the anointed rock.

SO....David looks for provision in the proper place...SO I HAVE LOOKED FOR YOU IN THE SANCTUARY...TO SEE YOUR POWER AND YOUR GLORY. What will get you through your WILDERNESS EXPERIENCE is...(1) His Power (2) His Glory.

Now...we have shifted from the PROBLEM and begin to press into the SOLUTION. David now is taking his faith...his desires...his needs and using his body as an instrument of righteousness (Romans 6:13; Romans 12:1,2)

David declares...the reason why he looks for Him in the sanctuary...for the purpose of seeing His power and glory...BECAUSE YOUR LOVINGKINDNESS IS BETTER THAN LIFE. The cause and effect of this is by faith utilizing his BODY to change his external. Remember...everything of the kingdom on our part starts within. With the Holy Spirit inside of us...we begin to worship. If you try to change situations and circumstances FIRST from the outside...in hopes that your inward condition will change...you are in the realm of works and not grace (Ephesians 2:8-10; Titus 3:5) The definition of grace is (1) free gift (2) unmerited favor (3) the divine influence in the heart...manifested in the life.

BODY WORSHIP

1. LIPS: My LIPS shall PRAISE you. By doing this...David acknowledges the cause and effect of this act of faith...thus I will bless you WHILE I LIVE

2. HANDS: I will LIFT UP MY HANDS in Your name. "They won't break..." (Wayne Berry). The lifting of hands is liberating from cold religion. It is a sign of surrender...a sign of reaching up to our solutions...signs of wanting to climb into the lap of Daddy (Abba Father) and a sign of receiving from the Father.

3. SOUL: The seat of our emotions...the totality of who we are...our minds (what we think and reason with), our will/volition/free choice (what we choose based on what we think), and our emotions (the barometer of our internal...but that's for another Rambling). My SOUL SHALL BE SATISFIED WITH MARROW (fat) and FATNESS (abundance). David speaks of provision where there is no physical visible provision.

4. MOUTH: The place of articulation, release of thoughts, verbal expression of inward thoughts. NOTE: Remember the definition of wilderness at the beginning of this Rambling. The last one was ...SPEECH...including it's organs. This is where David is at now with his declarations of faith. AND MY MOUTH SHALL PRAISE YOU...

5. LIPS: Connected to the mouth...the launching pad of praise...and my MOUTH shall PRAISE you WITH JOYFUL LIPS. Not pity party lips...not lips based on the condition of the situation...but JOYFUL LIPS.

FINAL THOUGHTS...FINALLY

Well there is more to the Psalm...but that's enough for now. Just know that the enemies will be dealt with and the wilderness experience will come to an end. The desired results will be manifested...but before the manifestation there has to be a shift and change in the external manifested with your spirit (little s), soul, and your body.

HAND TO THE PLOW...AGAIN

Greetings Plowboys and Plowgirls...how's the furrow?

One of my FAV albums...in the top five of FAV albums of all time would be HAND TO THE PLOW by Paul Clark. The picture on the front of the album is a picture that Paul took of his Grandfather...with his hand....not to the proverbial plow...but to the real plow. Of course for us believers...the analogy is not lost... as we plow along in this walk that we are in...keep focused...don't look back... don't give up...KEEP YOUR HAND TO THE PLOW.

If you look back...the straight furrows...turn crooked...If you take your hand of the plow...you are no longer in control of the mules/horses...and your life goes willly-nilly.

The title song of the album is a mixture of jazz and rock...which turns into funk.
Mmmmmmmmmm quite tasty.

Over the years...since 1970 (the year when I first started plowing this field)... many times I have taken my hand off of the plow. I took my hands off the plow for many different reasons (some, in my mind ligit). Temptation, sin, the flesh, discouragement, hopelessness...all resulting from letting my guard down...not disciplining my self for the purpose of godliness...letting up on reading the Word.. allowing my prayer life to dry up...not dying to myself and living to Him daily (usually dying to myself every week or so or as the my needs arise)...not taking up my cross (yielding my will to His will)...ALL reasons/excuses...with the same result...NO RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE AND JOY IN THE HOLY GHOST (Romans 14:17).

The first verse states:

I've felt the pressures of temptation...I've heard the breathing lies of ac--u--sa---tion...
I know the world can be distracting...but if I keep on foot there I'm--just--acting
Well, I can't think of a reason why I should look back...and I don't intend to start now
Gonna set my face LIKE FLINT TO JESUS AND HIS WORD
Yes...I'm KEEPING MY HAND TO THE PLOW

NOTE: WOW...when I first heard those words...I was infused with the hope that I can make it...I can keep on...no matter how many times I fail... I can get up again. The second verse continues:

I've felt the weight of condemnation...And how the dEVIL TWISTS MY SITUATION
My brother...if you feel defeated...let me remind you friend that YOU'VE BEEN CHEATED
Well...I can't think of a reason why I should look back...and I don't intend to start now
Gonna set my face LIKE FLINT TO JESUS AND HIS WORD
Yes...I'm KEEPING MY HAND TO THE PLOW

NOTE: Whenever I would sin...succumb to temptation and walk in the flesh...CONDEMNATION would be heaped on me...and my reasoning would be...well...I've screwed up again...why even try. The condemnation did not come from God...He convicts...with the outstretched hand of redemption. "There is NO CONDEMNATION for those who are in Christ Jesus." (Romans 7:25) We have been given the ministry of reconciliation... "Now all these things are from God...who RECONCILED us to Himself through CHRIST, and gave us the MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION." (II Corinthians 2:18) This ministry is defined in the very next verse..."namely, that God was in Christ RECONCILING THE WORLD to Himself...NOT COUNTING THEIR TRESPASSES AGAINST THEM...and He has committed to us the WORD OF RECONCILIATION." (II Corinthians 5:19)

The devil (little d...he does not deserve a capital d) really does twist our situations...giving us a feeling of defeat...all the while being cheated.
Notice how the word devil says it all...d-evil.


Another great song that speaks to me...about walking out his walk is Bob Dylan's Got To Serve Somebody. Dylan lists multiple people from all walks and lifestyles...and makes the statement..."You got to SERVE SOMEBODY...it may be the devil...it may be the Lord...but you got to SERVE SOMEBODY."

You are either plowing the fields of the Kingdom of God (righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost)...or you are sowing the fields of the devil (unrighteousness, unrest, and sadness).

This picture show two of my favorite artists...Phil Keaggy and Paul Clark rocking out to Dylan's GOT TO SERVE SOMEBODY. For my money...it just don't get no better than this.

Put your hand to the plow...and serve the Lord.



FINAL THOUGHTS...FINALLY...

I close with how I opened...PLOWBOYS AND PLOWGIRLS...how's your FURROW. The furrow is a narrow groove made in the ground by a plow...plowed land. The plowing preceded the planting....which proceeds to growth...which results in harvest. It's all about preparation in the Kingdom of God. Sometimes...the ground becomes fallow. Fallow ground is ground that was plowed but not seeded for one or more growing seasons to kill weeds or make the soil richer...OR just left unattended. The ground develops a hardness and must be broken up again, de-weeded...etc. Either way...THE PLOW must be administered before THE PLANTING...with growth that may need PRUNING... but that's another Rambling for another time.

RUMINATIN' ROD'S ROCK N' ROLL NIGHT OUT

To whom it may concern...I had a great night out last night. Brenda was on the OCOEE RIVER on Friday...and on the road back...and old Rod was grooving to the tunes of a group called the FAUX BRUMMELS. This hot little band was playing at Kimbro's Pickin' Parlor in Franklin.

It was a small, cramped, hot and steamy place...but I loved it. I ate an overpriced bacon and tomato sandwich...drank a warm Diet Coke...at a hot bowl (yes even though I cooked throughout the day and night).

It was an eclectic grouping off people who showed up...including the various in-crowd recording people...young up and comers...the inebriated to the tea totalers.

The musicians was a montage of various artist that I cut my teeth on in the early days of the Jesus movement including...Phil Keaggy, Dave Perkins, Lynn Nichols, Tom Howard, Mark Williamson and other surprise guest artists.

They opened up with one of my favorite instrumental songs...GREEN ONIONS. Aaaaaaaaaaaah...mighty tasty oh precious stink. From that point the music ranged from blues, Beatles (I Saw Her Standing There/Get Back), Yardbirds, Stevie Winwood, The Turtles (a rollicking version of Happy Together), All Right Now (Argent) and everything in between. I am happy to say...that Phil ran his guitars through a Fender Princeton Reverb Amp (that I passed on to him). Hmmmmmmmm.....I wonder why it never sounded that way when I played through it. : ) OH WELL.

The bottom line is...that at 56 going on 57...I can still ROCK AND ROLL...but of course that is when I'm trying to get up because I fell down and I can't get up.
