Just want to say thanks to all those who comment and join in on Wiki jams. Terrible to say this I don't get back soon enough with fellow members that have commented on my tracks and uploads. Thanks always for your comments and input. Even if , I failed to be trainable at times. It is always a treat to have interest shown. Even more so because this is the only Outlet for my playing. As many of you know, jamming with others locally can be a hassle. Taking a vow way back in my twenties, I swore I would never enter another bar again. I have kept to that over the years.
Again your interest is monumental. There are some wonderful musicians here on the Wiki. A big shout-out to those that can play multiple instruments in addition. What a wonderful gift. I have been on the wiki for four years now. It has been a wonderful growing Experience. Never did I think about playing jazz. Although my playing of jazz results in more rock than true jazz , it has been such a learning experience. Once infected by the Bonham bug, it's hard to focus on other styles.
This time of year at Christmas I tend to draw back into my shell with all the celebrating. Perfectly fine to celebrate though the pageantry loses it luster in light of the real meaning. My heart sinks knowing that we are focusing on tinsel when we have gold. At no other time had God come to live with mankind and it was in his son Jesus. It was for the purpose of regaining our relationship with God. What an incredible thought that little baby became a man and was sacrificed on the cross for our sins.
God had thought enough of us to send his son Jesus to take our place. For those reading this, that have checked out about now I'm sorry. Christian theology 101 says we are all sinners because we were born into sin from Adam. You might have read that somewhere you know with the serpent and all. The second part is we have no access to God the Father unless it's through Christ. He was crucified and resurrected to make this happen. He is our Bridge. He has taken our penalty. The third thing is you have to receive him.
The remarkable thing is we have free will but there is still accountability in eternity. My Hope for those members on the wiki is that you know Christ. Christmas is only merry if have a relationship with him. It has always baffled me what we celebrate in Christmas if we do not celebrate him. Yes I understand about the Santa Clause routine but how empty Christmas is without a hope for now and into eternity. This is not me condemning you but sharing the only present I can give that has any value. Merry Christmas Loopers
