scaryface:

Washington, DC Metro Station on a cold January morning in 2007. The man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time approximately. 2 thousand people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.

4 minutes later:
The violinist received his first dollar: a woman threw the money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk.

6 minutes:
A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.

10 minutes:
A 3-year old boy stopped but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. Every parent, without exception, forced their children to move on quickly.

45 minutes:
The musician played continuously. Only 6 people stopped and listened for a short while. About 20 gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $32.

1 hour:
He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.

No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before Joshua Bell sold out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100.

This is a true story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people’s priorities.

*In a common place environment at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty?

*Do we stop to appreciate it?

The questions raised:

*Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?

One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be this:

If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made…

How many other things are we missing?

Cajon Building: Day 1

Some of you might know this already but this summer I decided to build a string cajon. The cajon is this box drum that is mainly used in flamenco but for my purposes i’m building it mainly for worship music.

My reason for posting this is more for myself so I can kind of keep track of my progress while working on this DIY project. But this is also for anyone who wants to build a cajon for themselves too and wants to use this as a guideline (assuming that it turns out alright). If anyone is interested in building a cajon just email me and I can tell you what I know or you can just come over and build it with me if I know you better….

Today is kind of the first day I made any real progress on it. I had drawn up some plans in my leisure time but they’re kind of useless…

The first picture shows just the main 6 pieces of the box:
The top and bottom which are essentially the squares, the sides, the back (with the hole), and the tapa or front plate where you slap/hit to make the bass/snare sounds.

The second picture was just options I had between using wood that was 3/4” thick and 1/2” thick. I ended up picking the 1/2” just cause it seems unnecessary to use the 3/4” cause I’m going to make a frame on the inside anyways to support it. The measurements used in this picture are kind of irrelevant since I changed the dimensions so that it would be more convenient to cut and buy.

The third picture shows some thought about the size of the circle. Apparently the bigger the hole, the better. But after doing some research, some people say that the frequencies get messed up and screws up the Helmholtz resonance or something. But then other people also say that it’s complete bogus and the hole doesn’t really matter. So I’m kind of not really paying attention to it, i’m just gonna cut a hole that I think is a decent size.

This picture also shows some measurements for the inside frame that I’m going to use to attach to the frontplate. This frame is also going to be used to attach the guitar strings for the sizzle/snap sound that the snare bit has. Also one thing to keep in mind is that the tighter the screws are at the top corners of the frontplate, the weaker the “slap” sound. So looser corners = bigger snap. yeuh.

The fourth picture is just what I bought today. I really didn’t know whether to buy at lowe’s or home depot. I think cause i’m lazy I just bought the wood at the first store I went to which was Lowe’s. I felt kind of bad for the guy who was helping me cause I asked him a lot of questions that he didn’t know the answer to…oh well. I bought a 1/2” x 24” x 48” multi-layer birch plywood for about $14. They let me use their gigantic saw to cut it too so it was pretty convenient. The five pieces of wood seen in the picture came from one sheet of plywood which was pretty nice since i’m trying to spend the least amount of money as possible.

Next I went to home depot and there the employees were quite a bit more knowledgeable and helpful. But I only ended up buying the wood glue there and the two 3/4” x 3/4” x 36” hardwood lumber pieces.

Totally forgot to buy the wood for the frontplate…crap. I’ll need a 1/8” x 12” x 18” piece but I dunno how I’m gonna do that yet since they only have plywood sheets as small as 24” x 24”

Also if anybody reading this has a jigsaw powertool or a power drill or a bar clamp the size of 18” or longer please lemme know! I’ll attach pictures for those too.

Oh yeah, another thing is, I haven’t figured out how i’m gonna cut out a circle in a sheet of wood…

More updates coming hopefully soon.

Edit:
Oh yeah and this is what a cajon is supposed to look like:

thecottonjin:

the problem’s not a gun, not a color, not a hundred dollar bill
we think the struggle can be won with simple thoughts like ‘come together be good willed’
the gap between the rich and poor is spreading out all the more or so they say
we ignore the claims

o my soul, faint not, no
faint not | o my soul, keep up, up
in love

it’s not that we don’t know or we’re not shown the proof of poverty
it’s not that we don’t have the tools to go to break this yoke of slavery
we quit because it’s not an easy fix and then forget that they are even there
we forget to care

o my soul, faint not, no
faint not | o my soul, keep up, up
in love

where there is hatred, let me sow love
where there is injury, let me pardon
where there is darkness, let the Light come, come

o my soul, faint not, no
faint not | o my soul, keep up, up
in love

o my soul, faint not, no
faint not | o my soul, keep up, up
in love

faint not
faint not

Dang, what a powerful video especially on Mother’s Day.

Written in the description of Gowe’s video:

Ever since I discovered that I was adopted (at the age of 18), I’ve always wanted to write a song that captured my experience and gratitude toward my biological mother.

After performing this song for the first time at Kollaboration Seattle I was able to partner with key individuals to turn the song into a music video.

My hope is that this will one day reach my biological mother so that I could meet her. In a way, I feel like this is symbolically my ‘message in a bottle’ that I am casting into the ocean. Any help in sharing the video with your friends & family would be amazing.

Thank you to everyone who was involved in the making of this video, God is good and I am truly blessed!

- Gowe

Listen to the lyrics.

Manhood and Womanhood in Creation and Marriage:
5 Key Issues

Men and women are equal in value and dignity. Gen. 1:27; Gal. 3:28
This corrects the error of male dominance/superiority.

Men and women have different roles in marriage as part of the created order.
Note to singles: No where does the Bible say all women are to be subject to all men.

The primary relationship picture of the relation between men and women in a church is brother and sister–which implies no subjection.

Marriage is good, but God teaches us that some are called to be celibate for His sake (and this is also good).

10 proofs that male headship in marriage was ordained before the Fall.

Order – Adam created first then Eve. Gen. 2:7, 18-26 (cf. 1 Tim. 2:13)

Representation – Adam represented all mankind (even though Eve sinned first). 1 Cor. 15:22

Naming of Woman – Adam named her “woman”. Gen. 2:23
The Hebrew idea of the word “call” involves authority–see its use in Gen. 1 where God named the earth and seas, etc.

Naming of the Human Race – God named it “man” not “woman” or even a generic Hebrew word for “people” or “humankind”. Gen. 5:1-2 (this recounts what happened before the Fall)
The Hebrew word for “man” is “Adam”.

Primary Accountability – Adam responsible chiefly for the sin. Gen. 3:9(also Rom. 5:12ff.)

Purpose – Eve was a helper for Adam. Gen. 2:18-22
“Helper” is not a demeaning term for God is called “helper” often in Scripture.

Eve was to help Adam in hisresponsibility.

Conflict – The curse brought distortion of previous roles not an introduction of new roles. Gen. 3:16
“Desire for” can mean “desire against”. The phrase is only used 3 times in the OT, and only 2 times in Moses’ writings: here (Gen. 3:16) and Gen. 4:7. Just like sin desires to control and use you, the woman will be naturally tempted to control and oppose her husband.

The word for “rule” in 3:16 has the connotation of oppress or dominate by strength. This is surely not what the Scriptural idea of godly male headship should look like. This too is a tendency after the fall in men, to dominate and oppress their wives.

The curse brought pain in Adam’s responsibility–getting food from the ground; pain in Eve’s responsibility–child bearing; and pain in their relationship.

Restoration – Salvation in Christ restores the created order. Col. 3:18-19
Submission not opposition on the part of the wife.

Love not harshness on the part of the husband.

Mystery – Marriage from the beginning of creation was a picture of the relationship between Christ and His church. Eph. 5:31
A mystery is something hinted at in the OT and explained fully only in the NT.

So marriage is meant to be a pattern of Christ and the church–and that relationship obviously includes submission to Christ’s authority.

This means that submission is NOT culturally variable, since the relationship between Christ and his church is not culturally variable.

Parallel with the Trinity – The equality, differences, and unity between men and women reflect the equality, differences, and unity in the Trinity. 1 Cor. 11:3

How does this look in practice?? How does it work?
The following chart demonstrates the Biblical ideal contrasted with various errors we as fallen humans tend toward.

In addition to leadership roles, the Bible teaches primary responsibilities.
The husband is to provide for and protect his wife and family.

The wife is to nurture the children and care for the home.

The equality and differences of men and women reflect the equality and differences in the Trinity. 1 Cor. 11:3
1 Cor. 11:3 compares the Son’s submission to the Father with a wife’s submission to her husband.

Jesus did not complain that His Father’s having the role of leader within the Trinity was unfair. Rather he said, “I desire to do thy will” (Ps. 40:8)

When did the idea of headship and submission begin?
1987?? (when the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood was founded) NO

With the OT patriarchs?? NO

At the Fall in Gen. 3?? NO

With the created order in Eden?? NO!!

Answer: It never began. It has always existed within the eternal fellowship of the Trinity.

This shows us that authority is not based on gifts or value but rather role.

Submission to authority is noble–this virtue has been demonstrated eternally in the glad fellowship and unity of the Triune Eternal God.

Submission to authority does not exclude the mutual giving of honor.

Due to this verse–1 Cor. 11:3, some egalitarians/evangelical feminists (even evangelicals!!) have begun to tamper with the doctrine of the Trinity–saying the Father actually submits to the Son and that “mutual submission” exists in the Trinity.

The equality and differences between men and women are very good.
The created order is fair.

The created order is best for us.

The created order is beautiful and “very good”.

Because of the controversy surrounding our culture and this Biblical teaching, we do not rejoice in this as we ought.

Equality, differences, and unity beautifully coexist in the glory of human sexuality within marriage and it brings joy.

Our view of manhood and womanhood is a watershed issuethat tests our obedience to the Bible.
Evangelical feminism/egalitarianism does not advance on the strength of exegetical arguments.

Egalitarianism advances through:
incorrect interpretations

reading into Scripture things that are not there

incorrect assumptions about the meanings of words

incorrect assumptions about world history

methods of interpretation that reject the authority of Scripture and tend toward liberalism [for instance denying the authority of Gen. 1-3—this is even being done by “evangelicals” to defend egalitarian principles.]

rejecting Scripture as our authority and deciding on the basis of personal experience or private revelations

suppression of information [particularly in the local battles within particular churches, as egalitarian pastors try to push their ideas through]

Evangelical feminism has 2 significant allies:
much of secular culture

Christian leaders who are complementarian [this word describes the position taken by CBMW] yet they lack courage to teach their views or to take a stand in the controversy. (note Acts 20:26-27)
