Medicine for worrywarts

28 Feb

(Matthew 6:25–34)

 

            Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

            Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

            Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

            And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin;

            And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

            Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

            Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

            (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

            But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.

           

 Take therefore no thought for the morrow:

for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.  

Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

What It Takes

23 Feb
  Aerosmith vid of What It Takes (circa 1989)

There goes my old girlfriend, there’s another diamond ring

And, uh, all those late night promises? I guess they don’t mean a thing

So baby, what’s the story? Did you find another man?

Is it easy to sleep in the bed that we made?

When you don’t look back I guess the feelings start to fade away.

I used to feel your fire

But now it’s cold inside

And you’re back on the street like you didn’t miss a beat, yeah

 

Tell me what it takes to let you go

Tell me how the pain’s supposed to go

Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night

Without thinking you lost everything that was

good in your life to the toss of the dice?

Tell me what it takes to let you go.

 

Yeah

Girl, before I met you I was F.I.N.E. Fine

but your love made me a prisoner, yeah my heart’s been doing time

You spent me up like money, then you hung me out to dry

It was easy to keep all your lies in disguise

Cus you had me in deep with the devil in your eyes

 

Tell me what it takes to let you go

Tell me how the pain’s supposed to go

Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night

Without thinking you lost everything that was

good in your life to the toss of the dice?

Tell me what it takes to let you go.

 

Tell me that you’re happy that you’re on your own…Yeah, yeah, yeah

Tell me that it’s better when you’re all alone

Tell me that your body doesn’t miss my touch

Tell me that my lovin’ didn’t mean that much

Tell me you ain’t dyin’ when you’re cryin’ for me

 

Tell me what it takes to let you go

Tell me how the pain’s supposed to go

Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night

Without thinking you lost everything that was

good in your life to the toss of the dice?

Tell me what it takes to let you go.

 

Tell me what it takes to let you go

Tell me how the pain’s supposed to go

Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night

Without thinking you lost everything that was

good in your life to the toss of the dice?

Tell me who’s to blame for thinkin’ twice

No…no…no…no…cus I don’t wanna burn in paradise

Oooh…Let go, let go, let go,

let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go,

let it go, let it go, let it go,

I don’t wanna burn, I don’t wanna burn…
