Years ago as a dreaming, starry eyed teenager I thought I knew what I was going to do when I grew up. I just knew that I was going to be a singer and travel the world, setting it up and taking it down every night and moving along to the next town of awestruck followers waiting on me. Oh the dream was real enough, I even designed the covers of my future albums and I came up with a name for the band that would be world famous. We would call ourselves L.O.G.I.C.
It was a great idea but there were a few simple issues that had to be overcome. First, I would likely need to know more than just the chords of G, C, and D, and second, I needed to be able to find the right pitch on a regular basis. Both were significant issues.
But to some extent, the dream did not die. Years later in a career of Preaching, I came back to that lifelong dream - at least the name part. L.O.G.I.C. was the name I chose for a mission work I began to support my frequent travel to the mission fields. Later it blossomed a bit more and encompassed a teaching and consulting work, aimed at investing in people's lives and helping them to be all that God intended them to be. Believe it or not, all these works still are active and going well. I will update some of the specifics later. But for now, let me just enter into this age of technology (a bit late perhaps) and explain the name, the only part of the original dream that came to pass.
L.O.G.I.C. stands for "Lord Our God Is Coming". It is based on the scripture found in John 14:1-6, where Jesus says, "If I go . . . I will come again.". It is the completion of a logical syllogism to understand that if he were to go (and He did - again more later) then He will come again. And I believe with everything I have in me, that He will.
Now a lot has been said of late about Jesus coming again, for now let's just know that only God knows when! But, the fact is true and you better know it, HE IS COMING AGAIN! In fact, this is the cry of my life's calling. I intend to go to heaven and take as many people with me as I can. I live my life as an ambassador of grace because the Lord Our God Is Coming.
So now you know, for what it is worth. Let's make ready for this together. What an incredible adventure. See you the next time!
'Til the Shout,
Dan
