PERENNIAL STREAM a blog for God

Welcome to Perennial Stream...

The Blog Home and on-line Personal Journal of Jubal Johnson

A Blog for God, a blog for thee and a blog from me.

Here we have a place in space to share thoughts, history, dreams, illusions and petty gripes even!

Also some photos, some art, some philosophy and hopefully some fun too.

I AM AN ARTIST...GOD HELP ME!

Not just a painter or sculpter but the whole 9 yards...

I do it all, art, music, poetry, prose, photography, dance and I've even worked in film!

In the days ahead I will be sharing more about myself and of course things related to the arts and how they play out in my life. Added to all that I will also be talking about my relationship with God and with the people I've known.  It may not be a magic carpet ride or a shuttle ride to the stars but it will I hope at least prove to be interesting.

Check back in the days ahead to keep up, with what's up, with me...

Jubal by the way is a biblical name that means;  JOYFUL SOUND and or PERENNIAL RIVER, hence the title of this here blog/homepage.

 For now I'll leave you with a short poem that expresses one of my pet peeves...the Greek word, CHRISTIAN.

+++HOUSEHOLD+++

I REJECT

IN BOTH MIND AND SPIRIT

WHAT THE GREEKS NAMED US

THAT REDUCES US

TO MERE SCIENCE

VOCATION

PROFESSION....

...CHRIST-I-A-N

I'LL TAKE THE CHRIST

BUT WHO THE HELL IS IAN?

THIS MINDSET

DIVORCES US

FROM ONE ANOTHER

WHO WE TRULY ARE

AS BROTHERS

AS ORGANIC HUMANS

AS FAMILY

WE ARE NOT A BUSINESS

WE ARE NOT A PRACTICE

WE ARE NOT A FOCUS

A CLINIC OF PATHOS

AND ACTIVITY

WE ARE NOT A STUDY HALL

WE ARE A HOUSEHOLD

WITH ONE HEAD

OF THE HOUSE

ONE FATHER

ONE SAVIOR

MANY SIBLINGS

STRETCHING OVER AEONS

FAR REACHING OVER

BOTH TIME AND NATIONS

AND WHEN ALL OTHER

RELIGIONS

NATIONS

PRACTICES

VIEWS AND LIFESTYLES

HAVE LONG BEEN SWEPT AWAY

LOST TO FIRES

OF JUDGEMENT

ABANDONED IN THE TRASH BIN

OF THE DISTANT PAST

WE SHALL BE THEN

AND EVER WILL REMAIN

THE OFFSPRING OF HEAVEN

THE FOREVER FAMILY

DANCING

SINGING

LOVING

LIVING

FREE, IN ECSTACY

AROUND THAT CELESTIAL

ETERNAL THRONE...

OUR HAPPY HEARTH

OUR ETERNAL HOME.
