Not necessarily based on but coordinating with the book Somnium, seu opus posthumum De astronomia lunari by Johannes Kepler. Written in Latin in 1608, it purports to present a detailed imaginative description of how the Earth might look when viewed from the Moon. That's where any resemblance ends. This Somnium presents a detailed description of how the earth might look from sleep. How life might look from other perspectives. A cosmogony of dreamed proofs through which the author gets to occupy events of different perspectives from Borges, John Cale and Kepler to film noir, science fiction, prosperity gospel and other hidden appropriations. Somnium is composed of 137 episodes of 137 words (think physics not psychics....) the significance being that in physics 137 was once believed to be the exact value of the fine-structure constant, a number which, according to Leon Lederman, "shows up naked all over the place."

The Way I Walk: The Music of Jack Scott tells how the Canadian-born son of an Italian immigrant grew up to become one of the leading rockabilly voices of the era and how he got lost in the shuffle as the music continued to evolve.

During 1958, all six sides of his three singles scored in the top 100 with two of them being top ten and a third side topped out at number 11. Canada claims Scott as its "greatest rock and roll singer of all time," however, he was a Detroiter by the time his hits began rolling in. Other artists with far fewer recording achievements found their way into the R&R HOF, but Scott continues to be ignored.What in the World's Come Over You; Burning Bridges; Goodbye Baby; The Way I Walk; Go Wild Little Sadie; Leroy; Geraldine, My True Love, are but a few of his classic early rockers. You may not recognize his name but you certainly know his songs!

RSVP follows the book Save The Date, intentionally encourages a definitive response to God's Sabbath invitation as we are reminded to remember the Sabbath Day (ref Exodus 20:8) Christ advises that He alone is Lord of the Sabbath elevating our focus towards his ministry for mankind. (ref Matthew 12:8)The intent is to cast aside any doubt, removing the shadows that darken the heart and minds of those who acknowledge the Sabbath as a special day but do not comprehend the message and character of the Sabbath as it relates to God's salvific ministry for all mankind. Only God makes us Holy (ref Exodus 31:13)There are believers who are without knowledge or through their religious traditions embrace creationism and yet do not tie Jesus Christ to the Sabbath he so proudly kept and proclaimed himself to be Lord of. As a result, they offer a substitutionary day of worship.They are clinging to a pattern, that falsely or ignorantly worships God on a day he has never honored. They also do not comprehend the true message and character of Christ that is found within the Sabbath, nor do they recognize that the Lord of the Sabbath is our Sabbath.A true and authentic revival is needed among Christ's followers: One that is transformative and can only be fully realized by accepting the Sabbath invitation and as we experience God in His Sabbath. It's about time that we respond. It is about time the world sees God's people fully embrace this Gospel. They will be drawn to The Lord of The Sabbath."And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed." (Romans 13:11)

When we become followers of Jesus, we are transformed into new creations. This transformational process is one of the most significant aspects of our identity in Christ. It is through this transformation that we are able to shed our old selves and embrace our new selves. Ultimately, being a new creation means that we are no longer defined by our past or our mistakes. We have been given a new identity and a new purpose in Christ. As we continue to grow in our understanding of what it means to be a new creation, let us embrace the transformation that Christ is working in us and seek to live out our new identity in Him.
