Good morning, RVA! It’s 49 °F, and we’ve got another excellent fall day in front of us. Expect highs in the mid 70s and every reason to take at least one of your Zooms out on the porch.Water coolerAs of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports 687↗️ new positive cases of the coronavirus in the Commonwealthand 3↘️ new deaths as a result of the virus. VDH reports 39↘️ new cases in and around Richmond (Chesterfield: 10, Henrico: 11, and Richmond: 18). Since this pandemic began, 379 people have died in the Richmond region. Do we have a word for “shocking yet unsurprising?” Because the New York Times reports that the “White House has decided not to trace the contacts of guests and staff members at the Rose Garden celebration 10 days ago for Judge Amy Coney Barrett, where at least eight people, including the president, may have become infected, according to a White House official familiar with the plans…It has also cut the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which has the government’s most extensive knowledge and resources for contact tracing, out of the process.” Cool, cool, cool. This is bad for the people involved, sure, but it’s also bad for all of the contact tracers out there working hard to help prevent the spread of a deadly virus. Now they’ve got to deal with folks who may just opt out of the process because of the president’s bad example.The Richmond Free Press has the results of a district-level mayoral poll which puts Mayor Stoney “significantly ahead” in the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th Districts. Councilmember Gray leads in the 1st and the 2nd Districts, and the two are within the margin of error in the 3rd and 4th Districts. Remember! Mayoral candidates need to win five out of nine Council Districts, not the popular vote. If no candidate wins a majority of districts—if, say, Alexsis Rodgers picked up a district or two—we move into a run-off and I probably die of stress.Related, Marc Cheatham at the Cheats Movement has kicked off a series of essays on the mayoral candidates and starts with Mayor Stoney. I agree with almost everything Cheatham says: it’s the Mayor’s election to lose, and, outside of his absolutely trash handling of the police and protests, he’s done a pretty good job in his first term. It’s easy, four/infinity years in, to forget about the embarrassing state of affairs left behind by the two previous administrations. Mayor Wilder literally evicted the school administration from their offices. Heading into the 2016 elections, the City had no money or employees to cut the dang grass and actually asked for volunteers to help out. It was bad, and things are way better than they were four years ago. The School Board hired Jason Kamras and the relationships between Schools, Council, and the Mayor are stronger than I’ve seen in a while. And even though I’ve had my fair share of complaints about Public Works and their handling of, well, all sorts of things, you can’t deny that they’ve filled the potholes, paved the streets, and cut the grass. With that said, I’m going to quote this section from Cheatham’s piece in full, because I entirely agree with it, too: “Stoney has been bad in dealing with the Richmond Police Department (RPD) in the face of civil unrest and protest. The RPD has been awful in dealing with the protest and protestors. We’re on our 3rd Police Chief since the unrest has started and I’m not sure that this new Police Chief is the ‘right’ man for the job either. RPD attacking protesters with tear gas and other chemical agents is just trash. Arresting protesters that didn’t need to be arrested, breaking up demonstrations at Marcus-David Peters Circle, all trash. RPD not even wearing masks? What is that…just trash.”And related to that, the Richmond Police Department sent out this press release last night under the subject line “Officers indicted”: “On Monday, the Richmond Grand Jury deliberated 18 indictments involving Richmond Police Officers regarding their actions during the summer civil unrest. They came back with True Bills on two officers. Mark Janowski and Christopher Brown have been charged with misdemeanor assault and battery. Janowski, a detective, has been with the Department since 2014. Brown, a detective, has been with the Department since 2015. ‘These events are unfortunate,’ said Chief Gerald Smith. ‘However, we must allow the legal process to work. The officers will be placed on administrative assignment until a verdict is reached.’” Ben Dennis and Alonzo Small at WRIC have a few more details about what exactly that means.The Richmond Times-Dispatch’s Kenya Hunter reports that the Richmond School Board decided last night to shorten RPS’s school day for all students. While this decision will certainly help with kids who’ve gone all zombie-eyed by the end of a long day of Zooming, I do wonder how this will impact folks' childcare situations. You can look through the proposed schedule changes in this PDF, but, beware, I’m not sure if the Board made any tweaks to what Superintendent Kamras proposed. We should know ultra soon, though, because School Board wants the new changes rolled out ASAP—like within two weeks.Roberto Roldan, one of our excellent and talented local journalists, will moderate a mayoral forum tonight at 7:00 PM hosted by ChamberRVA, VPM, and NBC12. Tune in to hear where the candidates stand on all sorts of things and to see who decides to follow best practice and wear a mask while indoors!The Valentine hosts one of their Controversy/History events tonight at 5:30 PM and will focus the conversation on voting, which I think makes a ton of sense at this particular moment. For some of us (white men) it feels like we’re living in the worst timeline where powerful people suddenly want to suppress our votes, while others of us (everyone else) are like, “welcome to the party, pals.” American history is packed with examples of people trying to keep other people from voting, and I bet/hope these are the types of conversations you can expect at tonight’s event!The Henrico and Richmond City Health Districts will host a free community COVID-19 testing event today at Diversity Richmond (1407 Sherwood Avenue) from 4:00–6:00 PM. Raine or shine!—but I don’t think you need to worry about rain today. If you do need a test but today doesn’t work for you, check out this list of public testing sites in Richmond and Henrico, or you can, of course, always call the COVID-19 hotline (804.205.3501). Don’t not go get a test if you need one!This morning’s longreadA Decade of Music Is Lost on Your iPod. These Are The Deleted Years. Now Let Us Praise Them.There might be some confirmation bias going on here, but this resonates with me and people exactly my age. Some real weird stuff went on during the early years of mass internet adoption.I know my favorite music from 1997, because I’m hoarding CD booklets overstuffed with post-Oasis Britpop, Ben Folds Five, and Soul Coughing. I can call my favorite music from 2017 right up on my phone, because I make year-end playlists in both Apple Music and Spotify and post them on Twitter at Christmas (which I think we can agree is not the same as burning a CD). But if you ask me to name my favorite songs from 2007, I might need to use a lifeline. The music of the mid-aughts to early-teens is largely gone, lost down a new-millennium memory hole. There is a moment that whizzed right past us with no cassettes, discs, or Shazam queries through which to remember it. These are the Deleted Years, and we need to start honoring this period, right now, before we forget it forever.If you’d like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol’ Patreon.

Welcome to Celestial Sex- an interview series hosted by Chris Duce and produced by Colin Hatch about sex and love through the lens of Mormon upbringing. This week we talk to Jordan Michael Blake, a filmmaker living in Los Angeles, about being a good boy, deciding not to go on a mission, early- and frankly adorable- forays into self pleasure, going to BYU then NYU, and a life changing road trip to lose his virginity. We discuss the idea that early experiences with sexual images may "burn themselves on your mind" and what that means outside of belief. We reference the article "The Naked People on Your iPod"- look it up! It's a great way to teach your kids about what to do when they encounter pornography. We also discuss the conversations Jordan had with his church leaders and parents when he was a teenager about sex, and how he dealt with shame. And how later on, he took charge of becoming the person he wants to be. Follow Jordan Michael Blake on Twitter @jblakeboogie and check out his music videos and films at theasfc.com Hit us up!

The hit song Stressed Out by 21 Pilots is track 9 of Finding God on Your iPod. This song captures the desire of most modern men and women of our stressed out, anxiety-filled society. We want to go back to when things were simple and stress-free; the childhood years of life. To be stress free would be like Heaven on Earth and Jesus is inviting us into that kind of reality here and now. How might we learn to life in the unforced rhythms of God's grace? It has something to do with recovering a child-like trust.
The bonus track in Finding God on Your iPod 2015 is "Song for Someone" by U2.And I'm a long, long way from your Hill of CalvaryAnd I'm a long way from where I was and where I need to beIf there is a light you can't always seeAnd there is a world we can't always beIf there is a dark that we shouldn't doubtAnd there is a light, don't let it go outAnd this is a song, a song for someone-U2Check out the music video above.If there is a secret to the Christian life, it's this: Just don't give up, don't quit, don't stop. Press on. We all stumble. We all fall. We don't have to be perfect, we just have to press on. Perfectionism is the enemy of true progress. When imperfect people seriously aspire to perfection the results are disastrous. People who find themselves in a culture where perfection is expected are forced to pretend. To live in a world of pretense is to live outside of reality. And there's another word for living outside or reality—insanity! When we try to be perfect we find it impossible to be good. The pretense of perfection leads people to be legalistic, judgmental, proud, duplicitous, depressed and generally screwed up from the cognitive dissonance of an expectation that is cruelly contradicted by reality. “Perfect” people cannot be good. This why perfectionist groups always implode in spectacular scandal! If because of an expectation of perfection and a fear of rejection we can't bring our sin into the light of confession and forgiveness, it grows in the dark until it becomes an uncontrollable monster! But the good news is, we don't have to be perfect! The only perfection Jesus calls us to is perfection of mercy.
Song nine in Finding God on Your iPod 2015 is "War in the Mind" by Lauryn Hill. "The prophet knew that religion could distort what the Lord demanded of man, that priests themselves had committed perjury by bearing false witness, condoning violence, tolerating hatred, calling for ceremonies instead of bursting forth with wrath and indignation at cruelty, deceit, idolatry, and violence." –Abraham Joshua Heschel"God needs prophets in order to make himself known, and all prophets are necessarily artistic. What a prophet has to say can never be said in prose." –Hans Urs von Balthsar
Song eight in Finding God on Your iPod 2015 is "Sing All Our Cares Away" by Damien Dempsey.The power of song must never be underestimated. Don't ever say, "but it's just a song." Half the Bible is “just a song!” We've diminished the power of song because we've succumbed to empiricism. Song is not reason. Song is resistance—resistance to the totalizing of the facts. We sing to push back the “facts” and create room for hope to rise. And when hope rises, we rise with it. That's when it becomes a Song of Ascent. The Hebrews have known this. The Irish have known this. African Americans have know this. And the church has always known this…unless we have forgotten it. The church is to be the community that sings the Jesus songs of faith, hope, and love.
Song seven in Finding God on Your iPod 2015 is "The Thief and The Friend" by Jason Upton."Many men are braveAnd many men are strongBut few men have I ever seenWho'll fight for who's rightAnd then fight for who's wrongFight for the friend and the thief But I've heard of youYou've got so many namesBut you call yourself Son of ManI've heard your song on the streets where I liveHeard it over and over againLight a candle tonight let it shine, let it shineLet it shine for the goodness and glory of GodLet it shine on the wrongLet it shine on the rightAnd shine especially bright for the losersI have given them hope and a future"- Jason Upton
The fifth song in Finding God on Your iPod 2015 is "Us for Them" by Gungor. It's easy to see we live in a world arranged around ‘Us vs. Them'—it's our organizing principle. But this arrangement produces hostility, hatred, and untold injustice and suffering. We may think that as long as “our side” wins it's okay…but it's not okay! It's the way of death. If the world is to be saved and healed, it must be rescued from ‘Us vs. Them'—because the way of Cain always ends with Auschwitz, Hiroshima, and all manner of mass suffering.So Jesus comes as the Savior of the world. Not to save us from God, but to save us from…us! Because the deep truth is this: There is no them, there is only us. In Christ the chosen people is the human race and the holy land is the whole earth.
The second song for Finding God on Your iPod 2015 is "Don't Wanna Fight" by Alabama Shakes. We live in a combative age. It's constantly modeled for us and if we're not careful we'll pick it up like a bad habit. If the church takes on a combative spirit, it has capitulated to the spirit of the age. To be Christian is not to be combative in the name of Jesus, but to be something else entirely. If the church is to be a city set on a hill, a light shining in a dark place, then we must turn away from the combative and turn toward the contemplative.Jesus was a fighter, but his weapon was not a whip or a sword or a gun or a nuke. His weapon was a cross. On the cross Jesus laid down his life forgiving his enemies. His weapon was love, his weapon was forgiveness, his weapon was faith. And having seen Jesus on the cross forgiving his enemies…I don't wanna fight no more.
The poetic and the prophetic are related. The poets and prophets are first cousins. Poets use artistic speech to say what cannot be said in conventional speech. The poet-prophets give us an alternative imagination -- a way of rethinking the world. Walter Brueggeman says, "Sunday morning is the practice of a counter life through counter speech." Finding God on Your iPod uses songs from contemporary recording artists to talk about Jesus and the gospel in a fresh, artistic way. This sermon is based on "Invisible" by U2.
Special revisit of our past "Finding God on Your iPod" sermon series (from January and February of 2014) | Preached by Lead Pastor Mike Skinner on June 22, 2014 at Fc3 (www.fc3.org)Support the show (https://pushpay.com/g/sweetwatercc?src=hpp)
In the final track of the 2012 edition of Finding God on Your iPod, Pastor Brian Zahnd examines the vision of Jesus and Paul for a new humanity, gathered together into one flock with Jesus as the shepherd; A humanity in Christ that learns to kill the hostility instead of kill one another. From this text, Pastor Brian is able to offer a prophetic critique of the systematic destruction of the indigenous peoples and cultures of North America in the name of Manifest Destiny. "Manifest Destiny" was an American self-delusion justifying the systematic destruction of indigenous peoples and cultures in the name of "progress."

Pastor Derek Vreeland presents a bonus track to the 2011 Finding God on Your iPod series: Barton Hollow, by the folk-duo The Civil Wars. This song tells the story of a criminal wrestling with guilt, forgiveness, and doubt. We are fully aware of our shortcomings and failures and while we confess faith in God who forgives, sometimes doubt creeps into our lives. Doubt is never the enemy of faith, because every doubt is based on an alternative belief. Instead of ignoring our doubts, we need to face them, struggle through them in community with other followers of Christ. Wresting with doubt is one of the ways we grow in faith.
This week on Four Songs: five songs. It was necessary, one of the songs is by John Denver, and a "make good" was in order. IN MY DEFENSE, I didn't pick the music. That was done according to what was hot with the record-buying public . . . in April 1975. Unfortunately, John Denver's "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" was big back then. Unsurprisingly, I would have picked differently. But they don't let 14-year-old kids program Top-40 radio stations, and that's how old I was when this episode of Four Songs was done. Live. Through the facilities of the Big 91, WLCS radio in Baton Rouge, La. In all its amplitude-modulated glory. And glorious it was. So glorious that I was sitting at the kitchen table, early the morning of April 17, 1975, with my portable reel-to-reel tape recorder patched into the earphone jack of my clock radio to preserve a piece of WLCS forever. It was a Thursday. Gary King was the morning man. WLCS was one of Baton Rouge's two Top-40 blowtorches. Radio 13 -- WIBR -- was the other. 'IBR had some great jocks, and a friend of mine even was a part-timer there when I was in high school . . . but I was an 'LCS man. No offense to WIBR. Of course, by 1976, I was firmly in the camp of Loose Radio (WFMF during its album-oriented rock salad days). But I'll always love Double-U ELLLLLLL CEE Ess . . . even though it died in 1983, a few months after I married a KOIL woman from Omaha. And if you're under, say, 30, you're not getting this conversation at all, are you? LET ME EXPLAIN. Once upon a time, there was this thing called radio -- AM radio -- and we listened to it on "transistors," which were like iPods, only affordable. And better. An iPod only can bring you the few hundred songs you load into it after illegally downloading them off the Internet or legally buying them on iTunes. But a transistor radio, that could bring you the world, baby. All for free. And without the threat of a lawsuit by the music cops. The world first came to my bedroom on a transistor radio tuned to WLCS. I also could tune in the whole wide world on WIBR, or maybe WTIX in New Orleans -- and sometimes KAAY through the ether from Little Rock at night -- but I mostly dug those rhythm and blues . . . and rock 'n' roll . . . and countrypolitan . . . and a bit of ring-a-ding-ding, too, on the Big 91. What it was, was the breadth of American popular culture at my fingertips. And British Invasion, too. Never was education so fun. I turned on the radio just to listen to some tunes, and I found myself under the spell of a thousand different tutors -- friendly voices from morning to overnight -- playing for me the breadth of musical expression . . . or at least the musical expression that charted well. It is because of 'LCS, 'IBR, 'TIX (and later, 'FMF) that this Catholic Boy has catholic tastes. Your iPod is cool and all, but it can't do that. SEE, THE DEAL IS that I can't repay the debt I owe to WLCS, for one. I can't repay the debt I owe to Gary King, that friendly morning voice on this episode of Four Songs. For a spell there, King's was the voice I woke up to, got ready for school to and ate breakfast to. He played the hits and told me what the weather was outside, and Gene Perry gave the news at the top and bottom of the hour. Back in the day, radio was a well-rounded affair. King's also was the friendly voice that answered the studio line when an awkward teen-ager in junior-high hell would call to request a song. And his was the friendly voice that would take time to chat for a bit when that kid -- or his mother -- sometimes thought he had nothing better to do . . . like put on a morning show. I didn't know it then, and Gary King (real name: Gary Cox) probably didn't know it, either, but what he was doing was being Christ, in a sense, to a lonely kid and his -- come to think of it -- lonely mother. I shudder to think what one of today's "morning zoo" shows would do with rich material like me and Mama. That is, if they answered the studio line at all. Via the AM airwaves, I made a human connection with WLCS and Gary King. I needed that. We all need that. And you can't get that from your iPod, though some of us will try to give it, because you have to work with what you have. BEFORE APRIL 1975 was done, Gary King was gone. He originally was from Kentucky, and one day the call came from WAKY, the Top-40 powerhouse in Louisville that Gary grew up listening to. On his last show, Gary's ending bit was "convincing" Gene Perry that he could catch a bullet in his teeth if the newsman would just help him out on the gun end. It didn't work as planned . . . which means it worked perfectly in radio's "theater of the mind." I think I shed a tear or two. And a couple of years later, I was learning the ropes at WBRH, Baton Rouge High's student-run FM station. And 33 years later -- after various pit stops on the air and hot off the press -- here we are at Revolution 21, trying to figure out what "radio" will be in this new millennium . . . right here on the Internet. Thanks, Gary. I can't repay you in full, but maybe this will make a nice down payment.

During your third episode, you talked about creative ways to display your family history treasures, and I wanted to share with you something absolutely wonderful my aunt did for me. When my grandmother had to downsize and move into an assisted living facility, my aunt stumbled upon a beautiful silk baby dress and a pair of leather button-up baby shoes that had belonged to my grandmother. She had these framed for me along with a photograph of my grandmother on her 1st birthday wearing them! She gave the finished product to me because she knew how much I am fascinated by our family's history.
