We&lt;br /&gt;    bless You for our creation, preservation, the natural&lt;br /&gt;    wonders surrounding us, and all of the blessings&lt;br /&gt;    of this life. We thank You, above all, for Your&lt;br /&gt;    priceless love and the redemption of the world by&lt;br /&gt;    our Lord Jesus Christ. And we pray You, give us&lt;br /&gt;    that due sense of all Your mercies, so that our&lt;br /&gt;    hearts may be abundantly thankful, and that we&lt;br /&gt;    show forth Your praise, not only with our lips, but&lt;br /&gt;    in our lives, by giving ourselves to Your glorious&lt;br /&gt;    service, and by walking before You in devotion&lt;br /&gt;    and virtue all our days, through Jesus Christ our&lt;br /&gt;    Lord, to whom, with You and the Holy Spirit, be all&lt;br /&gt;    honour and glory, world without end.

Amen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                           THE GENERAL CONFESSION&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P: Beloved in the Lord, the Scripture directs us in many&lt;br /&gt;    places to acknowledge our transgressions and harmful&lt;br /&gt;    ways. If we say we are innocent of any wrongdoing,&lt;br /&gt;    the truth is not in us, for all have strayed and fallen&lt;br /&gt;    short of the glory of God. But, we have an&lt;br /&gt;    advocate with the Father, our Saviour Jesus Christ. If&lt;br /&gt;    we confess our imperfections, He is faithful and just&lt;br /&gt;    to forgive us, and cleanses us from all unrighteousness.&lt;br /&gt;    Therefore, I pray and urge you, as many as are&lt;br /&gt;    present, to accompany me with a pure heart to the&lt;br /&gt;    throne of the heavenly grace, saying:&lt;br /&gt;R: Almighty Father, Lord of heaven and earth, we&lt;br /&gt;    confess that we have sinned against You, voluntarily&lt;br /&gt;    and involuntarily, in thought, word, and&lt;br /&gt;    deed; known and unknown; by day and by night.&lt;br /&gt;    Have mercy and forgive us all, O God, after Your&lt;br /&gt;    great goodness, according to the multitude of&lt;br /&gt;    Your mercies, do away with our offenses, and&lt;br /&gt;    cleanse us from our transgressions, for Jesus&lt;br /&gt;    Christ’s sake. Amen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                           THE ABSOLUTION&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P: Our Lord Jesus Christ has bestowed power and commandment&lt;br /&gt;    to His ministers to declare and pronounce&lt;br /&gt;    to those who are truly repentant, absolution and&lt;br /&gt;    remission of sin. Therefore, may Jesus Christ absolve&lt;br /&gt;    you of your sins in the name of the Father, and of the&lt;br /&gt;    Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                           KYRIE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P: Lord have mercy&lt;br /&gt;R: Christ have mercy.&lt;br /&gt;P: Lord have mercy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All stand              THE LORD’S PRAYER &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P: And now, as our Saviour Jesus Christ has taught, let&lt;br /&gt;    us pray:&lt;br /&gt;R: Our Father in heaven; Holy be Your name, Your&lt;br /&gt;    kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is&lt;br /&gt;    in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and&lt;br /&gt;    forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.&lt;br /&gt;    Do not let us enter into temptation, and deliver us&lt;br /&gt;    from evil.&lt;br /&gt;P: Deliver us Lord from all harm, and grant us peace in&lt;br /&gt;    our lives. In Your mercy, keep us free from temptation&lt;br /&gt;    and protect us from all distress as we wait in joyful&lt;br /&gt;    hope for the coming of our saviour, Jesus Christ.&lt;br /&gt;R: For Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the&lt;br /&gt;    glory forever. Amen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P: Peace to you;&lt;br /&gt;R: And to your spirit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                           THE PROFESSION OF FAITH&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P: Let us acknowledge our faith as set forth by the&lt;br /&gt;    Creed of the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ:&lt;br /&gt;R: I believe in God the Father Almighty, creator of&lt;br /&gt;    heaven and earth;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son our Lord.&lt;br /&gt;    He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit,&lt;br /&gt;    and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under&lt;br /&gt;    Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was&lt;br /&gt;    buried.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    On the third day He rose from the dead. He&lt;br /&gt;    ascended into heaven, and is seated on the right&lt;br /&gt;    hand of the Father. He shall come again to judge&lt;br /&gt;    the living and the dead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Church, the&lt;br /&gt;    Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the&lt;br /&gt;    Resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.&lt;br /&gt;    Amen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All sit               THE BEATITUDES &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P: My brethren, let us never forget the blessings spoken&lt;br /&gt;    of by our Lord Jesus Christ during His sermon on the&lt;br /&gt;    mount.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Blessed are the poor in spirit,&lt;br /&gt;R: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P: Blessed are those who mourn,&lt;br /&gt;R: for they will be comforted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P: Blessed are the meek,&lt;br /&gt;R: for they will inherit the earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P: Blessed are they who do hunger and thirst after righteousness,&lt;br /&gt;R: for they shall be filled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P: Blessed are the merciful,&lt;br /&gt;R: for they will be shown mercy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P: Blessed are the pure in heart,&lt;br /&gt;R: for they will see God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P: Blessed are the peacemakers,&lt;br /&gt;R: for they shall be called the children of God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P: Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake,&lt;br /&gt;R: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P: Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute&lt;br /&gt;    you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you&lt;br /&gt;    because of me. Rejoice and be glad because great is&lt;br /&gt;    your reward in heaven,&lt;br /&gt;R: for in the same way they persecuted the prophets&lt;br /&gt;    who were before you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P: Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the&lt;br /&gt;    Holy Spirit.&lt;br /&gt;R: As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall&lt;br /&gt;    be, world without end.

Amen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                           OR&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;R2: Lord, grant me to greet this day in peace, help me&lt;br /&gt;    in all things to rely upon Your holy will. In every&lt;br /&gt;    hour of the day reveal Your will to me. Bless my&lt;br /&gt;    dealings with all who surround me. Teach me to&lt;br /&gt;    treat all that come to me throughout the day with&lt;br /&gt;    peace of soul and with firm conviction that Your&lt;br /&gt;    will governs all. In all my deeds and words, guide&lt;br /&gt;    my thoughts and feelings. In unforeseen events,&lt;br /&gt;    let me not forget that all are set by You. Teach me&lt;br /&gt;    to act firmly and wisely, without embittering and&lt;br /&gt;    embarrassing others. Give me strength to bear&lt;br /&gt;    the fatigue of this day, with all that it shall bring.&lt;br /&gt;    Direct my will, teach me to pray and, Yourself,&lt;br /&gt;    pray in me.

And, we&lt;br /&gt;    most humbly beseech You, merciful Father, bid these&lt;br /&gt;    offerings be carried by the hands of Your Holy&lt;br /&gt;    Angels to Your altar on high before Your divine&lt;br /&gt;    majesty so that those of us who, by sharing in the sacrifice&lt;br /&gt;    at this altar, shall receive the sacred body and&lt;br /&gt;    blood of Your Son, and may be filled with every grace&lt;br /&gt;    and heavenly blessing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    We earnestly desire Your fatherly goodness mercifully&lt;br /&gt;    to accept this our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving&lt;br /&gt;    through Jesus Christ Our Lord, by whom and&lt;br /&gt;    with whom, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all honour&lt;br /&gt;    and glory be unto You, Father Almighty, world with-out&lt;br /&gt;    end.&lt;br /&gt;R: Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the&lt;br /&gt;    world: have mercy upon us. Lamb of God, who&lt;br /&gt;    takes away the sins of the world: have mercy&lt;br /&gt;    upon us. Lamb of God, who takes away the sins&lt;br /&gt;    of the world: grant us Your peace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P: Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of&lt;br /&gt;    the world, happy are those who are called to His supper.&lt;br /&gt;R: Lord Jesus, I believe and confess that You are&lt;br /&gt;    truly the Christ, Son of the living God, who came&lt;br /&gt;    into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the&lt;br /&gt;    chief, and I believe that this is Your pure Body and&lt;br /&gt;    Your own precious Blood. Therefore, I pray You&lt;br /&gt;    have mercy on me, and forgive my transgressions,&lt;br /&gt;    committed both voluntary and involuntary,&lt;br /&gt;    in word, thought, and deed, known and unknown,&lt;br /&gt;    and grant that I may partake of Your Holy Supper&lt;br /&gt;    without condemnation for the remission of my&lt;br /&gt;    sins and for life eternal. Amen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                           THE COMMUNION - (Intinction)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P: The supper of our Lord is a Sacrament of our&lt;br /&gt;    Redemption by Christ’s death and a sign of love that&lt;br /&gt;    Christians ought to have among themselves, one to&lt;br /&gt;    another. And the means whereby the Body of Christ&lt;br /&gt;    is received in the Supper is Faith. With true reverence&lt;br /&gt;    of God, faith, and love, all those present who are&lt;br /&gt;    baptized Christians and truly accept Jesus Christ as&lt;br /&gt;    their Saviour are invited to come forth.&lt;br /&gt;R: Lord accept me today as a communicant. Like&lt;br /&gt;    the thief who suffered with You on Calvary, I will&lt;br /&gt;    openly acknowledge You. Remember me, Lord, in&lt;br /&gt;    Your Kingdom. Not unto judgement nor unto condemnation&lt;br /&gt;    be my partaking of these Holy&lt;br /&gt;    Elements, O Lord, but unto the healing of my soul&lt;br /&gt;    and body. Amen.&lt;br /&gt;    (Congregation comes forth to receive Communion)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P: The body and blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ, which&lt;br /&gt;    was shed for you, may it preserve your soul unto&lt;br /&gt;    everlasting life.&lt;br /&gt;R: Lord, I am ready to receive You; only say the word&lt;br /&gt;    and I shall be healed.&lt;br /&gt;    (After all have been served)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P: Lord, let Your benediction and grace descend upon&lt;br /&gt;    all who have received Your holy body and precious&lt;br /&gt;    blood.&lt;br /&gt;R: We give You thanks, Holy Father, for Your Holy&lt;br /&gt;    Name which You have caused to dwell in our&lt;br /&gt;    hearts, and for the knowledge and faith and&lt;br /&gt;    immortality which You have made known to us&lt;br /&gt;    through Jesus, Your Servant. To You be the glory&lt;br /&gt;    forevermore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    You, Almighty Master, did create all things and have&lt;br /&gt;    given both food and drink for men to enjoy that we&lt;br /&gt;    might give thanks to You; but more than these, You&lt;br /&gt;    have graciously given spiritual food and drink, and&lt;br /&gt;    life through Your son.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Above all, we thank You because You are mighty&lt;br /&gt;    and able to save. To You be the glory forevermore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Remember, Lord, Your Church, to deliver it from&lt;br /&gt;    every evil, and to make it perfect in Your love, and&lt;br /&gt;    gather it together from the four winds, even that&lt;br /&gt;    which has been sanctified for Your Kingdom&lt;br /&gt;    which You have prepared for it, for Yours is the&lt;br /&gt;    power and the glory forevermore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Let Grace come and let this world pass away.&lt;br /&gt;    Hosanna to the Son of David. Whoever is holy, let&lt;br /&gt;    him come; whoever is not, let him repent. The&lt;br /&gt;    Lord has come. Amen.&lt;br /&gt;    NOTE: To complete the service of morning and evening prayer the&lt;br /&gt;    liturgy is continued here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                           THE DISMISSAL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P: Let us depart in peace.&lt;br /&gt;R: In the name of the Lord.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P: Let us pray to the Lord.&lt;br /&gt;R: Almighty and ever-living God, we thank You for&lt;br /&gt;    allowing us to receive the body and blood of our&lt;br /&gt;    Saviour Jesus Christ, assuring us thereby that we&lt;br /&gt;    are truly a member of His Body, the Church, and we&lt;br /&gt;    ask You to help us by Your Holy Spirit that we may&lt;br /&gt;    continue in this fellowship and do the good works&lt;br /&gt;    which You desire us to do; through Christ Jesus,&lt;br /&gt;    Your Son, our Lord, to whom with You and the&lt;br /&gt;    same Spirit, be all honour and glory, forever and&lt;br /&gt;    ever. Amen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                           RECESSIONAL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                           THE FINAL BENEDICTION&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P: May the strength of God pilot us.&lt;br /&gt;    May the power of God preserve us.&lt;br /&gt;    May the wisdom of God instruct us.&lt;br /&gt;    May the hand of God protect us.&lt;br /&gt;    May the way of God direct us.&lt;br /&gt;    May the shield of God defend us.&lt;br /&gt;    May the host of God guard us against&lt;br /&gt;    the snares of evil and&lt;br /&gt;    the temptations of the world.&lt;br /&gt;    May Christ be with us.&lt;br /&gt;    Christ above us.&lt;br /&gt;    Christ in us.&lt;br /&gt;    Christ before us.&lt;br /&gt;    May Your salvation, O Lord, be always ours&lt;br /&gt;    This day and forevermore.

So we got to see antiquities that we don't normally get to. We especially liked the Roman room with stuff plundered by Sir Stanley Somethingorother from Antioch, North Iraq, Iran and Roma. Emily liked the statue heads that were made of the deceased so they could attend their own funerals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are u there, sir??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Congratulations, you have achieved MY goal in life. &lt;br /&gt;You bastard!  :-)  ;-) &lt;br /&gt;Is Ringo ambient dream pop too??? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wait till you hear my groove loops... &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Ringo is definitely ambient dream pop ----&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Can't wait to hear your groove loops.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;My very strong suggestion, sir  ===============&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Is to package it all into a nicely timed 45 minute disk&lt;br /&gt;and send it out to the PBR mailing list immediately&lt;br /&gt;for the ultimate surprise attack.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;DO NOT BE AFRAID!!!!!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Come on in, Joe----&lt;br /&gt;the WATER'S just fine ------------&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I might start work on my next ambient dream pop album,&lt;br /&gt;but this time it will be more ambient and more dreamier and very poppy!!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;We are once again INSPIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;PS:&lt;br /&gt;Do they sell this ambient dream pop MUM at any record store you frequent,&lt;br /&gt;or is online the way to go?!?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I've already got it.   I had purchased this one from Amazon along with my great Sigur Ros () find. &lt;br /&gt;I was so into () that this one fell by the wayside, but the more I listen to Mum, the more I like.  It's a good one, minus the impact of Sigur Ros. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am here.   40 hrs without the internet - I can't imagine that!   I was getting worried: no contact from Dave, John or Brad...

Unlike last weekend which was so nice sunny &amp; warm that I could only produce 3 minutes of music.   Maybe this weekend I can fill in the missing 42 minutes. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Ps.  doubt if you could find Mum locally, but who knows... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Loop it my man.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Instant Audio.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Hit the snail mail box on Monday with the new one!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;INSTANT AUDIO'S GONNA GET CHA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;=====end transmission=======&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5007897-91554989?l=yellowpink.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://yellowpink.blogspot.com/2003_03_23_archive.html#91554989</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (John)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007897.post-90990661</guid><pubDate>Wed, 19 Mar 2003 14:07:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2003-03-19T09:07:59.983-05:00</atom:updated><title></title><description>&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&lt;br /&gt;BRAD'S JAMAICAN REVIEW&lt;br /&gt;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank You. Initially, thought my auto was pinging &amp; due for service. Then i realized you were lodged somewhere in my dashboard. My favorite track is #10.. oh, and !JUST! as i was passing Hamilton Hospital, an oncoming car was veering into me at immediately left - she was making a left-hand turn - as you said "look out for that car on yer left, Brad.." The timing couldn't have been more perfect. Kinda freaked me out.  I loop The New One, and find it all at once engaging, entertaining, and artful and artful and artful. The cover is too good to be stored in "spine" position in one's library of CD classics; I shall keep it on the "Now Playing" CD holder for many years to come. Thanks again, John.

She said " I hope this isn't being sold in stores."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melissa isn't very $$$ oriented.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last thing i heard before going to bed was the 27 second

cheap wine?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I listen to:&lt;br /&gt;- 2 complete (not short samples) Sigur Ros tunes downloaded from Amazon&lt;br /&gt;- Gentle Dream (JFK2003)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

digital joe, within the last 12 hourz.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I myself first heard the digital version of this album (file under: ambient spoken word)&lt;br /&gt;yesterday afternoon and had a laugh and enjoyed the ambience; henceforth, it was&lt;br /&gt;preordained to be shared with thee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope you enjoy pieces like GENTLE DREAM &amp; REVERB HOLE&lt;br /&gt;and verbal

I had a fantasy of driving north up into permafrost Newfoundland &lt;br /&gt;and stopping at the end of the road where there was a big pile of plowed snow and no more road. It was at that point I would BLOW MY BRAINS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!! I was lost and wailing and then CHRIST JESUS appeared to take me home. In a subsequent vision, he saved me from falling off a cliff into a LAKE OF FIRE. As the DEVIL SATAN bid me "COME". A summer vision, if you will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Joe retorted:&lt;br /&gt;Wow, for real?    Put that in your blog! &lt;br /&gt;And Joe continued:&lt;br /&gt;I'm in Iceland, listening to Sigur-Ros.  I am absolutely mesmerized.  Ambience with mystery and power in the undertones.  I keep picturing an icy landscape, stinging winds, and monsters lurking in the snow.  I am lost and wailing and no one will help me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To say the album design is stark would be an understatement.   The CD itself is white with some hints of off white.  No writing.  The jewel case front is a 6 page booklet.  Each page is translucent white with ghostly images appearing to be grass or sticks sticking out of the snow.  No writing.   The back cover is translucent white, with the words "Sigur-Ros.com" - that is the only information on the whole album.  My cd player here automatically retrieves album information from CDDB on the web.  For this album, it retrieves nothing.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are lost in the snow.  Wailing.  And no one will help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am Sigur-Ros's number one fan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Brad returned fire with regards to REVELATION:&lt;br /&gt;Sunned and !Stunned!  LEGENDARY 7 days in my life.&lt;br /&gt;Touched by an angel on Jamaica shoreline, brought me to tears.&lt;br /&gt;"It's amazing how we never die [, mon]"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ochos Rios - on horseback in the Caribbean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And John, standing by the sea having come full circle, replied:&lt;br /&gt;Indeed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br
