1 John 4:7–12 NIV
“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. [8] Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. [9] This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. [10] This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. [11] Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. [12] No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.”
Love one another
It’s His way
Comfort a friend
Show them a little
Grace!
~~~
Love one another
Life moves quickly
Tomorrow’s a gift
We don’t always get
Anger and bitterness
Really aren’t where it’s
At.
He calls us
To love.
Shed the tears
You need to shed
Reach out
God sends friends
Along our path
To help us through!
~~
Love one another
In a world of hate
And never forget
Christ loves you!

Yesterday, M and I read the weekly Advent reading, it was an extremely emotional reading in the light of what 2025 brought us, including the loss of someone dear to our Church just Friday! I could write so much more, but honestly the words aren’t there and somethings are only meant to be shared amongst loved ones!

"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.
