More About the Gallery
Eltham South Fine Art: Studios and Gallery is an Artist Run Initiative growing from the legacy of the late Grace Mitchell. The Mitchell family moved to Eltham in 1948 and bought a property that runs between Mt. Pleasant Road and Fordhams Road, South Eltham. Initially Grace and Arthur Mitchell lived in the old minors cottage at the top of the hill (Fordhams Road) and began constructing the orchard garden.
Grace Mitchell, a tailor and pastry cook began building a new residence and shop at the bottom of the hill at Mt. Pleasant Road and commenced her pastry business which she continued to run until the 1970s. On retirement Grace (then 67) swapped pastry and fabric for paint and sculpture and began her Fine Arts Degree at RMIT. Grace passed away April 2011.
Jenni Mitchell (Grace's daughter) and husband Mervyn Hannan have re-opened the residence/shop as a Fine Art Gallery and teaching studio.
Jenni Mitchell commenced formal painting classes with Lesley Sinclair at Montsalvat in Eltham at the age of 10 and has since completed a Master of Visual Arts at Monash University.
Jenni travels regularly to wild and exotic locations around the world to find rare material for her painting and photography. Landscapes include the Australian desert, The Antarctic, The Arctic, Greenland, Norway and more recently, Mongolia.
Mervyn Hannan has also travelled widely in the search of inspiration to use with his painting, sculpture and music. Locations include Africa, Europe, Arctic Greenland, Canada and Mongolia.
Together Jenni and Mervyn run the Gallery and teaching studio. Visitors are invited to view current work of the resident artists and stroll through the orchard garden. Classes are run regularly and private tuition is available.
The Gallery is open Thursday – Saturday 10.00 – 5.30 and Most Sundays 11.00 – 5.00

Vast Resources to finalise diamond investment
Ishemunyoro Chingwere Business Reporter
AIM-listed mining and resource development concern, Vast Resources told its shareholders that it is hoping to finalise an investment deal in Zimbabwe's diamond mining as investors continue to circle on the local economy.
The new dispensation under President Mnangagwa has embarked on an investor charm offensive under the "Zimbabwe is open for business" mantra that has seen the signing of several investment deals as well as loads of enquiries.
Vast Resources had initially signed a deal that would have seen the company, with a portfolio of high quality polymetallic and gold mines in Romania and Zimbabwe, utilising mining rights under a joint venture arrangement with the Chiadzwa Community Development Trust.
However, the new arrangement will now see the UK-listed mining firm partnering with state mining entity — the Zimbabwe Consolidated Diamond Company (ZCDC) — in exploiting the Chiadzwa diamond deposits.
"Vast Resources plc, the AIM-listed mining company, is pleased to inform the market that following meetings that took place in Harare last week between Vast senior management, the local community leaders and the parastatal Zimbabwe Consolidated Diamond Company Ltd (ZCDC) a road map to closing the agreements that will enable the Company to mine on the Heritage Concession has now been established," said the company in a statement yesterday.
"The agreements concerning the Heritage Diamond Concession will now be directly between the Company and the ZCDC rather than the local community, but the local community will be maintained as a beneficial recipient of shared profits as per the original agreement," reads the statement.
Andrew Prelea, the miner's Chief Executive Officer added, "After taking part in the meetings last week with our senior management, the community chiefs and ZCDC, I am pleased to say that the timeline to closing the agreements will now be accelerated.
"I plan to return to Zimbabwe shortly for what I hope will be the finalisation of the contractual terms, and also to establish the commencement of the project.
"This amendment to the structure of the arrangement should not only accelerate the process to commencement, but should also provide the Company further opportunities to work with the ZCDC," the CEO said.

Another Example of the Phylogenetic Utility of Osteoderms in Triassic Vertebrates
By Bill Parker on Monday, March 05, 2012
Buchwitz, M., C. Foth, I. Kogan, and S. Voigt. 2012. On the use of osteoderm features in a phylogenetic approach on the internal relationships of the Chroniosuchia (Tetrapoda: Reptiliomorpha). Palaeontology [Early View]. DOI: 10.1111/j.1475-4983.2012.01137.x
Abstract: Chroniosuchians are an enigmatic Permian to Triassic group of crocodile-like basal tetrapods. Their conspicuous dorsal osteoderm systems include most of the group's yet documented postcranial morphological variability but have hardly been considered in cladistic approaches. Aiming at the clarification of the internal relationships of the Chroniosuchia, we have carried out a parsimony analysis including, among others, 23 morphological and osteohistological osteoderm characters and 12 chroniosuchian taxa. According to the most parsimonious trees, taxa usually referred to Chroniosuchidae form a paraphyletic succession with Madygenerpeton pustulatus and Chroniosaurus dongusensis as the basalmost chroniosuchians and Uralerpeton tverdochlebovae as the sister group of Bystrowianidae (hypothesis A). However, the concurrent hypothesis of a basal split into monophyletic subtaxa Chroniosuchidae and Bystrowianidae (hypothesis B) is only slightly less parsimonious and supported by an alternative analysis which includes embolomeres as the only reptiliomorph outgroup. Searching for the better hypothesis, we compare the respective order of branching to the order of first occurrences in the fossil record, demonstrating that hypothesis A provides a better stratigraphic fit than hypothesis B. Accordingly, the last common ancestor of the yet known chroniosuchians had a series of broad complexly interlocking 'chroniosuchid' osteoderms that served as a protection carapace apart from supporting the trunk during terrestrial locomotion. The later evolution of chroniosuchian carapaces was marked by a stepwise increase in flexibility and size reduction, which resulted in a loss of protective function and in a reduction in trunk support function. The flexibility increase is paralleled by the evolution of the Crocodylomorpha whose extant members do not possess as extensively interlocking osteoderm systems as some of their Mesozoic relatives.

It's like losing a child.
A nice frozen glass really adds to a martini. It helps keep the alcohol chilled after serving and it's visually appealing.
As I've mentioned before, when the glasses have been in the freezer for a few hours, I might sprinkle water on them to add to the layer of ice. However, I recently treated myself to a small water sprayer to enhance the process. It's just a small, cheap plastic thing but it does the trick. Fill it up with water and spray it evenly around the outside of the glasses (but only after they've been in the freezer and have frozen already). Put the glasses back in the freezer for at least 10-15 minutes before serving, although I often spray the water several hours before martini o'clock.
The finished product is much more attractive and it stays cold for longer. It's also nice to watch the ice exterior change shape and gradually melt as you drink.
The one downside is that as the ice melts, it dribbles down and could end up dripping into your clothing.

SB-216 Public postsecondary education: textbooks.(2009-2010)
Amended IN Senate May 05, 2009
Amended IN Senate March 26, 2009
Introduced by Senator Liu
An act to amend Section 66406 of the Education Code, relating to college instructional materials.
SB 216, as amended, Liu. Public postsecondary education: textbooks.
The Donahoe Higher Education Act authorizes the activities of the 4 segments of the postsecondary education system in the state. These segments include the 3 public postsecondary segments: the University of California, which is administered by the Regents of the University of California, the California State University, which is administered by the Trustees of the California State University, and the California Community Colleges, which is administered by the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges. Private and independent postsecondary educational institutions constitute the other segment.
Provisions of the Donahoe Higher Education Act apply to the University of California only to the extent that the regents act, by resolution, to make them applicable.
Existing law urges textbook publishers to take specified actions aimed at reducing the amounts that students pay for textbooks, including providing to faculty and departments considering textbook orders a list of all the different products the publisher sells. Existing law requires the Trustees of the California State University and the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges, and requests the Regents of the University of California, to take specific actions with their respective academic senates, college and university bookstores, and faculty to promote the selection of textbooks that will result in cost savings to students.
This bill would revise that provision affecting textbook publishers to encourage publishers to take, at a minimum, those specified actions aimed at reducing the amounts that students currently pay for textbooks. The bill would encourage publishers, in providing lists and prices of different products they sell, to include products they have sold.
This bill would require the California State University and the California Community Colleges, and would request the University of California, to post a list of required textbooks and the cost of the textbook on their respective Internet Web sites, at least 30 days prior to the first day of class for each term. For bundled materials, the bill would require the course instructor to confirm his or her intent to use each individual item sold as part of the bundled package before adoption of the material is finalized.
By imposing new duties on community college districts, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.
Section 66406 of the Education Code is amended to read:
(a) The Legislature finds and declares that the production and pricing of college textbooks deserves a high level of attention from educators and lawmakers because they impact the quality and affordability of higher education.

(1) "Unbundle" the instructional materials to give students the option of buying textbooks, CD-ROMs, and workbooks "à la carte" or without additional materials.
(2) Provide all of the following information to faculty and departments when they are considering what textbooks to order, and post both of the following types of information on publishers' Internet Web sites where it is easily accessible:
(A) A list of all of the different products they sell, or have sold, including both bundled and unbundled options, and the net price of each product.
(B) An explanation of how the newest edition is different from previous editions.
(3) Give preference to paper or online supplements to current editions rather than producing entirely new editions.
(4) Disclose to faculty the length of time they intend to produce the current edition so that professors know how long they can use the same book.
(5) Provide to faculty a free copy of each textbook selected by faculty for use in the classroom for placement on reserve in the campus library.
(c) The Trustees of the California State University and the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges shall, and the Regents of the University of California are requested to, accomplish all of the following:
(1) Work with the academic senates of each respective segment to do all of the following:

(B) Encourage faculty to disclose both of the following to students:
(i) How new editions of textbooks are different from the previous editions.
(ii) The cost to students for textbooks selected for use in each course.
(C) Review procedures for faculty to inform college and university bookstores of textbook selections to ensure that textbook adoptions are made with sufficient lead time to allow bookstores to confirm availability of the requested materials and, where possible, ensure maximum availability of used books.
(D) Encourage faculty to work closely with publishers and college and university bookstores in creating bundles and packages if they are economically sound and deliver cost savings to students, and if bundles and packages have been requested by faculty. The course instructor or the academic department offering the course shall confirm the intent to use each individual item sold as part of the bundled package before the adoption of the material is finalized. Students should have the option of purchasing textbooks and other instructional materials that are "unbundled."
(2) Require college and university bookstores to work with the academic senates of each respective campus to do both of the following:
(A) Review issues relative to timelines and processes involved in ordering and stocking selected textbooks.
(B) Work closely with faculty or publishers, or both, to create bundles and packages that are economically sound and deliver cost savings to students.
(3) Encourage college and university bookstores to disclose retail textbook costs, on a per course basis, to faculty, and make this information otherwise publicly available.
(4) Encourage campuses to provide as many forums for students to have access to as many used books as possible, including, but not necessarily limited to, all of the following:
(A) Implementing campus-sponsored textbook rental programs.
(B) Encouraging students to consider on-campus and online book swaps so that students may buy and sell used books and set their own prices.
(C) Encouraging students to consider student book lending programs.
(D) Encouraging college and university bookstores that offer book buyback programs to actively promote and publicize these programs.
(E) Encouraging the establishment of textbook rental programs and any other appropriate approaches to providing high-quality materials that are affordable to students.
(5) Post Beginning on July 1, 2010, post on the Internet Web site of each respective segment, as early as is feasible, but not less than 30 days prior to the first day of class for each term, a list of each textbook required for each course offered at the institution during the upcoming term.

It is supposed to be sunny and warm all weekend; so why not head out to a local market?

The market will be going on this Saturday, 7am till noon, at the end of Ashman St. in downtown Midland- right near the Tridge.
If you're not a morning person, but you like a good Market, then head over to Unity Park in Bay City (across the street from the Planetarium) and browse the East Bank Market- open Saturday from 10am-4pm.
What would a holiday weekend be without Fireworks? You have multiple opportunities to catch them this weekend. The Great Lakes Loons take on the Dayton Dragons all weekend, but you won't want to miss the fireworks at the Saturday game starting at 7:05pm. If you prefer racing to baseball, then you're in luck!

1517 Glen has all the charm you could want and all the flexible functionality you need.
It is full of possibilities!
This great home is seated on a corner lot in a small subdivision just west of downtown Midland. Beyond the generous yard, there is a detached 2 car garage with extra storage space, and a 30 x 24 ft. Pole barn. This building is sectioned into two separate areas- one perfect for the storage of your camper or other outdoor toys, and one that is insulated and perfect for more climate controlled storage or a work room.
Inside the house you'll find 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, newer windows and roof, central air, and endless possibilities. The full bath was recently updated and is a great picture of this home's make-over potential. Beautiful built-in storage separates the living room (complete with corner windows!) from the dining area; and just through that space is the kitchen. You'll never run out of storage because, in addition to the abundant surrounding cupboards, there is a bonus room with additional cabinets and space. This room could be used in so many different ways- a mud room with storage for coats and shoes, additional kitchen prep space (it has a double sink), or even a quiet spot for a desk. And if you're looking for the perfect space to enjoy your morning coffee, a good book, or just a place to relax then you'll love the enclosed front porch.
The partially finished basement also offers the perfect opportunity for creative use of space. The extra wide stairwell would make moving furniture a breeze! Along with the living space in the basement, there is also a very large laundry room, with more cabinet space and another double sink. And the opportunities continue with the work room downstairs. Looking for a spot for carpentry or fix-it projects; or maybe a craft room with a place for all your materials? This space would be perfect.
Whether you're looking for a space you could creatively transform, or simply a place to settle down 1517 Glen is waiting for you. It is your perfect opportunity.

There is a lot of pressure on sellers today to have their homes looking like something straight off an HGTV show (watch REALTOR Shelley Park's interview to hear her take on this). This leads a lot of people to think they need to decorate in the latest trends in order to stay ahead of their competitors. While it may be true that an updated house is a plus, an exceedingly "trendy" house may simply make it hard for buyers to envision themselves in the space- especially if they aren't hip to the latest trends.
We've compiled a short list of current décor trends that you should approach with caution if you're thinking about, or are in the process of, selling your home.
Chevron and Stripes. Sure it's a fun pattern, but not everyone may be crazy about it. Instead of installing chevron back splash or painting an entire wall in stripes, stick to a pillow.
Wall Decals. Always kiss me goodnight… yes, that's sweet but it doesn't appeal to the masses. Neither does that whimsical little tree, or your favorite NFL star. If you're going to sell, decorate with art that it a little less permanent looking.
Ombre Painted Stairs. Let's be honest, ombre wedding cakes are cool and Lauren Conrad and Sara Jessica Parker pulled off the hairstyle pretty well; but taking it to the stairs may be a bit much, especially for your average buyer.
Owls and Peacocks. As a rule of thumb when staging a home, less is more. Keep those owl figurines to a tasteful number, no need to display a 15 piece collection. And peacock feather patterns are lovely, but an entire room done in it may be a bit overwhelming.
Neon and Bold Colors. Don't misunderstand us here, we love color (we have red couches in our office) but emerald green, cobalt blue, and fuchsia pink walls can be hard to look past. Keep your color to removable accent items.
Remember, style is wonderful but it is also personal. Keep it simple and subtle if you want to attract buyers!

A Tale of Two Songs (Plus 3)
By Jason Gray • August 13, 2009
In a recent post I talked about my writer's block and the song that broke it. I thought I'd revisit a similar theme here and talk about the process of writing the most challenging song on my new record.
During a session at a songwriter's retreat several years ago, I asked Pierce Pettis, one of the greatest singer/songwriters of our time, how to know when to let go of an idea that seems to refuse to be reeled in. His answer was not to worry about it, that the best ideas won't let go of you. I went home and later that week finished a song that had been evading me for years. Since then, I've tried to pay attention to the ideas that seem like they won't let go of me.
In the midst of an almost 3 year stretch of writer's block, I was at another writer's retreat that my friend Doug McKelvey was leading. At one point, he read an excerpt from The Lord Of The Rings – the scene where Sam wakes after the darkest day of his life to find that the worst that seemed inevitable did not come to pass.
"'Gandalf! I thought you were dead! But then I thought I was dead myself. Is everything sad going to come untrue? What's happened to the world?'
'A great shadow has departed,' said Gandalf, and then he laughed, and the sound was like music, or like water in a parched land… "
It was the felt truth of those words – the idea of everything sad coming untrue – that captured my attention. I felt what Frederick Buechner terms "the lump in the throat" that usually indicates that something holy is afoot. The words carried a certain coalescence of the mysterious and absolute that spoke to where I was at at the time. Here's what I wrote about it in the liner notes of my new CD:
The beauty of those words rang so many bells inside of me: the idea not that everything sad is untrue (which would be a cruel invalidation of our present sorrows) – nor that everything will come untrue someday (which reduces the hope of redemption to mere wishful thinking) – but that somehow, even right now in the face of the saddest that we see, the seeds of its undoing are sown. In fact, they were sown the day the body of Jesus, like a seed himself, was laid in the ground. What took root on Easter is the undoing of the curse, and it is flowering all around us if we have eyes to see it.
This thought grew into an idea that wouldn't let me go and I determined that I would write a song about it.
I quickly found, though, that it was a difficult song to write – all 5 times that I wrote it! It is a beautiful statement, to be sure, but it is also somewhat abstract, and for some people it reads like an algebra equation. How could I take the beauty and truth of the idea and translate it from conceptual abstraction into something urgent, emotional, and compellingly real? Would it move others the way it did me?
I'd play the latest version of the song for my inner circle of friends who would tell me that it was cool, but that was the problem – I wasn't aiming for cool, I was aiming for heart and joy. Much prayer and reflection went into the process, and eventually I called in co-writers to help me bring it across the finish line. The first was Randall Goodgame who went to work with me on my original version. After several weeks of us banging our heads and hearts against the seemingly impregnable walls of this song, he put it best when he said, "it's close… but it's like this song has a beautiful face, but her arms are on backwards…"
Eventually we abandoned it and started from scratch. We raided the bone yard and brought some of the ideas over from the last version, but for the most part rebuilt it from the ground up. I had a little piece of music – a riff – that felt like springtime to me, like everything sad coming untrue, so we started with that. When I read the journals of some friends who had recently been to Rwanda – a country ravaged by genocide little more than a decade ago but whose rebirth through reconciliation looks nothing short of miraculous – I found a compelling real world evidence of everything sad coming untrue through the power of forgiveness. It was then that the song finally took wings for me, and after nearly two years, it was finished! This became "Everything Sad Is Coming Untrue (Part 1)" that is on my new record.
But it seemed that the idea of everything sad coming untrue was too big to be held in one song, and that the ground was still fertile enough to yield something more, so I went back to work. If the one song felt like springtime, I wanted to write one that acknowledged the winter that sets us longing for spring in the first place.
I wrote a ballad with my friend Jason Ingram that felt quite lovely and might even have possibly worked as a radio single – and yet the form of it felt restrictive to me and like I was circling around but never getting to the heart of the matter. This lead to one of the harder decisions of this project: abandoning this version – even one with commercial potential – to try to write yet another entirely new version.
I had a few lyrical starts, and I brought them to the master of the slow-building epic: Andy Osenga. We went to work on it and found that this song didn't get any easier even after so many versions…
The goal for this last incarnation was to follow Frederick Buechner's advice which in essence is this: that before you affirm your creeds at the start of each day, you should read the daily headlines of the worst that happens in the world. If our greatest hopes can't hold their own against our greatest fears, then they may not be worthy of our devotion. For our hope to be believable, it must be believable in the face of the worst that we see and know. So this is what we wanted to pit our idea of everything sad coming untrue against: relationships at the breaking point, death, and the isolation and despair that is the fallout of the Fall. Could even these be coming untrue? These thoughts became "Everything Sad Is Coming Untrue (Part 2)" – the song that closes my new record
By the time I was through, I had completed 5 versions of the song – two of which ended up on the official record and two more of which ended up as bonus songs on a special edition of the project. Did I ever get it right, though?
I'm certain there are more gifted writers than I who might have served this song better, but the work seemed to fall to me, and it was a responsibility that I didn't take lightly. I've never worked harder on a song, and in the end, in spite of my limitations, I hope I did it some semblence of justice and helped others to feel a little of what I felt that first day when Doug McKelvey read the words and it kindled the hope that everything sad, even now, is coming untrue. And if I failed to do that, with 5 versions of the song It could never be said it was for lack of trying…
Everything Sad Is Coming Untrue (Part 1)
Jason Gray, Randall Goodgame, Jason Ingram
In the way the shadows hide
When the sun begins to rise
And in the way the world comes alive
At the first hint of spring
The frozen rivers run
The death of winter comes undone
Whispers of Kingdom Come
While the bluebird sings
Everything that I thought I knew
Everything sad is coming untrue
From the war torn city streets
To the trash the slum dogs eat
It seems so hard to believe
And meaningless to pray
But in Rwanda's killing fields
Forgiveness blooms and heals
And the power of love reveals
The Kingdom come today as…
Life is coming alive
Death is destined to die
But Love…
When we learn to live again
And let forgiveness win
There's no wound that love won't mend
And finally redeem
The Son of God woke in the ground
The angel laid the soldiers down
To bring the King his crown
Oh I believe
Jason Gray, Andy Osenga
You had to have that hard conversation
Where nothing hurts quite like the truth
And now you wonder what she's thinking
Who she sees when she looks at you
How could it be everything sad is coming untrue?
Another nail in another coffin
Arms that held you return to dust
Yet in our grief we know death must be a liar
For no goodbye is ever good enough
Every father helpless and angry
Every mother with her heart on the shelf
Every daughter whose innocence was stolen
By every son who couldn't help himself
The winter can make us wonder
If spring was ever true
But every winter breaks upon
The Easter lily's bloom
Could it be everything sad is coming untrue?
Could you believe everything sad is coming untrue?
Broken hearts are being unbroken
Bitter words are being unspoken
The curse undone, the veil is parted
The garden gate will be left unguarded
Oh I believe everything sad is coming untrue
In the hands of the One who is making all things new
When the storm leaves there's a silence
That says you don't have to fear anymore
The trees look greener, the sky's an ocean
The world is washed and starting over

Magnificent. Thanks Jason, both for the songs, and the post about their creation. I obviously must have this album.

"What took root on Easter is the undoing of the curse, and it is flowering all around us if we have eyes to see it."
I love this statement! It conjures up the idea for me of floating in the middle of a lake looking up at the puffy white clouds and just soaking this in until I'm completely wrinkled and pruned from head to toe with the reality of it's truth.
Beautiful Jason. Thanks again.
Amanda O'Neal
Yes Aaron…you MUST have this album….it's quite devine….
Paula Shaw
Ever since I downloaded the album and every time I listen to it, I hear something new in the same words you've written. I really, really love both of these songs. . . or this song, as it really has turned out to be. I'm sure, too, that when I get the CD and get to listen to the extra songs, I will love them as well. I think it may be because there is so much truth in them. The repentance issue is so up front, almost tangible in these words. Jason, I really think that because of who you are, because of the roads you've had to walk down, and the things God has spoken into your heart, that you are being so used by Him. That is pretty incredible. My prayer is that you will remain so in love with God that He can't help but keep gifting you with incredibly true songs like these. Thank you so much for letting God take all the time it took with you to produce this new album. Thanks be to God for His abounding and abiding love to us all!
Thank you so much! How about a part 3 – where I am right now – waiting for the sadness to come untrue? I wonder sometimes how many times a heart can break before the pieces finally become too small to break any more and they can't be put back together at all – and maybe the sadness can't come untrue.
Mike Westendorf
To me this was the lyrical picture and you nailed it. The thought of waking up from a dream/nightmare to have the restlessness and pain from the images in a dream melt away in the morning light, leaving us standing in a moment of haunting warmth and tested joy. I can remember a dream of my father as a very old man and the image crushed me. Only to wake up to the dream and a pillow soaked with tears, the realization that it wasn't true, compared with the reality that the image may become one someday – and that my hope is not in my earthly father, but in my Heavenly one. That sort of completed the undoing of that image.
Jeanne, I can understand what you're saying. In the completion of a broken heart can come God's best healing. Thinking of Job and his ultimate reality that he was totally dependent on God and had no answers for God's questions – as a human being I find that to be one of the most peace filled places to be. To bad as a sinful human being it takes an aweful lot of crushing for me to see it.
Jason Gray
@jasongray August 13, 2009 at 6:16 pm
It's interesting that you, Jeanne & Mike, have used the imagery that you did, because those images showed up in the other two versions of the song that didn't make the official record, but ended up on the special edition:
You're afraid that you've been broken
One too many times
All the pieces that were stolen
You're afraid you'll never find
And the rain just keeps falling
And you're too weak to swim
But the knots are all untying
And this is not the end…
(from "Everything… Part 4")
Like waking up to the light of day
As the darkness slowly melts away
Like it was all the saddest dream
But every wound will close without a trace
And every tear that stained your lovely face
Will rise to wash it clean
Watch the clock hands all unwind
As "too late" runs out of time
Everything sad, everything sad is coming untrue…
Jeanne, your comment broke my heart. I have two friends in my life who have gone through hell on earth this past year – one who lost her husband to a long battle with cancer and another whose wife unexpectedly left him for another man. Their stories coupled with my own experiences of disappointment were a plumb line that guided me in writing these two songs. I had hoped that these songs would not ring false to those, like you Jeanne, who are going through their own crisis.
I won't presume to tell you to take heart, that everything will be alright, but I will humbly offer this: in my own life there have been a number of times of great pain and long seasons of waiting for deliverance. What I've experienced is that when the deliverance finally came (quietly, and never the way I expected), all the damage that had been done melted away in a moment, and a healing of my heart that I never imagined possible came all of a sudden, as a gift – even after many years of waiting, hoping, and great pain.
I know there is some suffering that will not be relieved during the days of our life here, and I imagine that the moments of grace and healing I've experienced in my time are reflections of what the final healing will be like, when all of our hears will be unbroken at last, our wounds closing without a trace . This is my hope, and this is what these songs are trying desperately to point to.
In the meantime, I take some comfort in the thought that Christ's heart breaks along with ours, and that we are not utterly alone in our pain, and that it is because of our shared suffering that he is passionate in his promise to make all things new…
As a serial doubter who's felt dry and still for a long time, I came expecting nothing in particular. Listening to Part I, though, something started to wake up — like I really wanted to break free and dance, if the rest of me could just remember how. Obviously there is more work to be done, but this is an encouragement.
Thank you, Jason, Russ, Randall, Andrew… all of you here who labor to bring God's goodness to living, breathing reality so we dull-hearts can grasp it.
Look forward to the stories of people that will come back to you about how God used this song to bless them, bringing comfort and hope when they desperately needed it.
They are on their way.
Jeanne, I'm praying for you. There is healing. Trust Jesus to be the faithful lover He promises to be.
Jason, Thank you for allowing our Lord speak through you.
May I contribute the first? And, before I do, may I say it's wonderful that God has gifted you to write these songs! How amazing to know you were willing to struggle for years to do justice to the idea and its truth. You plumbed the depths and came up with a magnificent jewel! Thank you so much.
So, my story (shared and personal) is two-fold, offering an example both of physical and emotional healing.
Physical: I know someone born with one leg shorter than the other. As a grown man, within a few years of saying "yes" to the Lord's offer of a relationship, one day he was healed. His shorter leg grew to match the other. Yet because his back had always only known uneven limbs, it required much physical therapy and working through the pain before all was as it should be. True story, and well documented? Yes! By his doctor who referred him to the physical therapist. Was he grateful? Oh, yes! But he still had to work through some pain before everything was completely right. Does it always happen this way? No, but this time it did.
Emotional: My mother died the day after my husband and I returned from our honeymoon. It took a decade to mourn the loss, and every year between my mother's birthday (August 27) and her death day (November 11) I was very sad. I missed her, but not because we'd been close. In fact, the decade before she died she went to great pains to tell me I no longer existed to her because I walked away from life as a Jehovah's Witness). And we won't even mention my dysfunctional childhood! Then, with so few happy memories, why was I so depressed? Because I had received a gift from the Lord when my mother died. He told me she'd said "yes" to Him before she left this earth, so I could look forward to getting to know the person she was meant to be when we're reunited in Heaven. Grateful? Yes. Excited at the prospect? Yes. Thrilled that one more person was prevented from an eternity in hell? Oh, yes! But the flip side of that coin of rejoicing suggested that a relationship with her, in the here and now, might have been possible had the cancer not taken her first. Thus, sadness, for a possible lost relationship.
What I'm trying to say, albeit poorly, is that each experience is different and no one else really understands the feeling or the situation. I'm so thankful for people such as you and all the rest, here in The Rabbit Room. Your conversations, your hearts of love, your precious offerings of art and expressions of beauty, each of those pieces (as well as the sum of their whole) do much to comfort the wounded heart. They also "…strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, mak[ing] straight paths for [our] feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed" (Hebrews 12:12,13, NKJV). Thank you, so very much!
All of Heaven's best to you and yours,
limpdance
Jason, may I ask a question?
If everything sad is coming untrue, how about Hell?
Wow! limpdance ~ what can one say to that, except for the sadness of Hell can come untrue for anyone who accepts Christ. The sadness of hell comes untrue for someone every day. All the things Jason writes about in this song are someone's hell that is coming untrue. Every time Jesus touches us to heal us, admonish us, direct us, take things from our lives that are not His best for us. . . every time one of those things happens, the sadness of it is coming untrue. And a lot of the time, we can't see that the sadness is coming untrue because the sadness itself has blinded us, but then, one day we see it in the distance, and a bit of hope springs up from nowhere, and it grows, and in a while, we are aware that the sadness is coming untrue, and even if it takes years, it is true all the same.
I know I'm not Jason, and he is the one to whom your question is addressed, but when I read your question, it sort of startled me, and in my pondering it, I wrote this down.
I hope all of the sadness in your life is coming untrue as you allow Him to make it so. . .
euphrony
I got the online download a few weeks ago and I have been really enjoying it – worth the wait! The first think I noticed was the contrast of Part 1 and Part 2 and loved the interplay between the two thoughts. Wonderful album – even if I ended up not getting one of the uber special editions (but I thought about it).
Bill B
Had been thinking about it, but ordered the CD after reading/hearing this.
Those are beautiful words. I'm glad the idea held onto you so tightly. 🙂
Jason I am hopefully going to see you on the tour. I got all four parts of the song and put them in a playlist to listen to in order. They play out like a play and you can see them.
What I get out of it is the first song is becoming a Christian is like spring coming over winter. The example of the genocide in Rwanda to me says if peace and hope can come from that then why can't I have it. It's sort of like I'm small but I can still peace and hope.
Part 2,3
All the hard things you deal with in following the Lord but while the songs take a deeper meaning and sad tone they still have the hope that part 1 has and it runs throughout the song.
Truly becoming a Christian and following God.
It is as if the song could cycle. Part 4 ends with Spring coming again aka to me finding God again and then you go through spring and happiness. It says to me through the hard times you will always see God and find him again.

Babyface Says "Verzuz" Against Teddy Riley Pushed Him To Over 1 Million Followers
Jesse Grant / Getty Images
Babyface says that appearing on "Verzuz" did wonders for his popularity with a younger audience.
Babyface attributed a rise of nearly one million followers on Instagram to his 2020 appearance on Verzuz, when he took on Teddy Riley in an episode that infamously concluded with technical difficulties. The Grammy-winning producer discussed the impact Verzuz had on the trajectory of his career during a recent appearance on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast.
"Verzuz was just so powerful I went from 300,000 followers on Instagram to over a million overnight," he said. "I remember I went to Walgreens and there was a young girl that said she didn't know my stuff but she was [now] a fan."

Babyface says that the rapid growth in popularity caused him to start targeting a younger audience with his music.
"I realized I started reaching a younger crowd and I thought I should do music that touches them as well," he added.
While their original Verzuz appearances were cut short due to technical difficulties, Babyface and Teddy Riley rematched that September.
Babyface is currently gearing up for the release of his upcoming album, Girl's Night Out, which will give fans a look at the new direction of his sound. Earlier this month, Babyface teamed up with Kehlani for the single, "Seamless." Additionally, the project is expected to feature Ari Lennox, Doechii, Sevyn Streeter, and more.

The first step in a successful camping season is getting your hands on the right camping gear. Use the checklist below to find out what essential gear you need for camping- and why.
– Tent. Not only do texts provide protection from the elements (which no one can change or accurately predict 100% of the time), they also protect against annoying bugs and critters.
– Sleeping bag. Especially at high altitudes, temperatures can drop drastically at night, and you'll be glad you've got a warm and cozy bed to combat them.
– LED lanterns. LED lanterns are simply the best tool for lighting up the night because they are energy efficient, long-lasting, and brighter than most other lights you'll find.
– LED flashlight / headlamp. Trips to the restroom or late night snacks can be burdensome without a proper light. Lanterns and other lights can be big and bulky. A reliable LED camping flashlight is perfect to accomplish your late night task.
– First-Aid kit. You never know when an accident could happen, minor or serious. Always be prepared to handle any situation with a well-stocked first-aid kit.
– Food storage. Unless you plan on foraging for berries and edible plants all week long, you'll need some reliable containers to store your food. These containers should be durable enough to keep out animals. Finally, do not overlook the fact that you might need containers fitted to keep foods cold.
– Cooking equipment. Whether you're cooking meals over a campfire or using a camping stove, think carefully through all the equipment you'll need to prepare your food.
– Entertainment. Sometimes we focus so much on just getting there that we forget to prepare for the destination itself. Packing games, activities, music, and other forms of entertainment will help make your experience a memorable one.
Once you've got your hands on the right camping gear, you'll need to know how and why to prepare your camping supplies for optimal success. Below is a checklist of everything you should do before you leave.
– Set up your tent. Do not neglect to do this, especially if your tent is rarely used or brand new. The last thing you want to discover is a leak, broken pole, or other malfunction upon arrival at your destination.
– Stock your first aid kit. In addition to medical supplies, be sure to include matches, a whistle, multi-tool, an emergency blanket, and poncho. Voila! A basic survival kit.
– Test your lights. Batteries die and bulbs burn out. Do not get caught in the middle of the night with a weak light. This is why I recommend LED lights. Since they consume less energy, LED battery and bulb life are markedly longer than conventional camping flashlights.
– Test any miscellaneous equipment. Cooking stoves, electric coolers, air mattresses, and anything else necessary for a successful trip should be tested several days before your departure.
– Look through storage bins and containers. Look through all your storage containers to ensure all your camping supplies are accounted for and functioning properly.
Make it your goal to get ready for the camping season, and use the checklists above to guide you through the process. Take advantage of everything nature has to offer you this summer. Happy camping!
