I think my last post was somewhat dramatic... I had a bad day and was feeling very lonely. Such things do happen, even to people, who believe in Jesus.
What I don´t believe is, that we as human beings are meant to find all of our satisfaction in God. God made one man and saw that IT WAS NOT GOOD for him to be alone. That man was in unbroken fellowship with the creator, but there was still something missing... Don´t tell me it´s just you and Jesus, we are meant to have a social life. In that sense: Jesus isn´t all we need- we need each other. Jesus can not meet all our needs- it wasn´t good with just man and God... more was needed....

Phantom continued

I was thinking again today about why this Phantom of the Opera movie speaks to me in such a profound way. It is primarily the identification with the phantom himself, in his deep connection of love and desire for Christine and in his heartbrokeness, caused by rejection and a life of solitude. Can anybody love him for what he is? Can anybody love the man behind the mask? Can anybody free him from his solitude?
For some moments he experiences that indeed, someone does break all the barriers and for once in his life he doesn´t feel alone.
Speaking about human love, I as well have experienced that once and what an experience it was! It tore me apart and left me broken for years, when it fell apart.
No wonder that we can forgive- even to the point of murder- that he tries everything to keep that experience.

More Links

Yes, it´s true, I´m not writing too often. That´s because I don´t want to write a lot of uninteresting things, nobody wants to read or hear. It´s actually the same when it comes to preaching or writing songs. If I don´t feel that a specific word is being given to me, I don´t have that much to tell.
But with the Holidays coming up, I might write more.

I did manage to put two clips on Youtube and these are the links:
