Introducing the first song the singer is celebrating her 78th birthday today what a coincidence but Helen Shapiro was just a teenager when this song was a smash UK hit the film used in this video was incorporated in a documentary on the Barbie Doll that I saw decades ago when I first heard the song.

The rise of the Internet enabled me to reconnect with this song and find out who sang it.

Helen Shapiro as turned out would become a Jewish follower of Jesus and by the way Messianic Judaism figures a bit in my story too.

Here is a link to Helen Shapiro's current activities in the UK...Manna Music-Helen Shapiro

                                 "WALKIN' BACK TO HAPPINESS"-HELEN SHAPIRO

                               "LIKE TO GET TO KNOW YOU"-SPANKY AND OUR GANG

                                                   "EMPTY HANDED"-JOHN PANTRY

Your host back with you all across the fruited plain and beyond.

El Rushbo's 'fruited plain' I actually realized with my own eyes looking eastwards from Colorado Springs back in 2016.

That last song an example of the Contemporary Christian Music that came into my life at the beginning of the 1980's.

The John Pantry song sounds something like my story about my big ego Edging God Out my selfish self-centered agenda leading me to my bottoming out 16 plus years ago.

And more than a few years scratching at the prison walls of my making until I was freed this year.

But the bigger story is this All Have Sinned and need to be freed Jew and Gentile alike.

"we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and mind..."

                                                       EPHESIANS 2:3

Your self-righteous, justice-seeking hypocrite host grateful for the finished work of Jesus who obeyed God to die on the cross so I can obey and bear my cross dying to my sin and experiencing the joy that comes afterwards each and every moment of my life here and now.

Indeed, I identify as a Liar, Luster, Thief and Character Assassin during my lifetime.

Was it only yesterday Russell Brand was saying pornographic things on BBC Radio 2 every Saturday morning with me in his audience.

I listened to BBC Radio during my Friday overnight shift as the janitor at a school for "Sounds of the Sixties" from 8 to 10 UK Time then at 10 Russell Brand came on the air with his potty mouth routine.

But what is Brand saying nowadays it sounds like this:

                   "Christ chooses us.  We have been chosen"

Another Douglas Wilson video reacting to the interaction between Brand and Tucker Carlson..."Russell Brand Reads The Bible: "I wish I had known earlier" | Doug Reacts

Every day I go out there and keep my eyes on the cigarette butts and pick them up and if I keep my eyes on those butts, I won't be keeping my eyes on other 'butts' out there.

                                             Here's something to consider:

"We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ"

                                                   2 CORINTHINS 10:5

                                                "LOVE OF ANOTHER KIND"-AMY GRANT

Those were the days heck I remember my religious media days asking Amy Grant back in 1983 about what would emerge as the "Unguarded" album and that hit song that crossed over to the pop charts.

OCTOBER 7TH MEANS BENJAMIN NETANYAHU HAS FREEDOM TO ACT TO DO WHATEVER HE WANTS IN FACT HE HAS A 'GREEN LIGHT' FROM THE 'DEEP STATE'.

 LET'S BRING IN HILLARY CLINTON TO EXPLAIN...

"Yes, there's a lot of political turmoil in Israel but it's a war people are in the middle of a war

and you know you don't change leaders in the middle of a war until the end of the war...

this is an extremely complex set of circumstances and I think it's fair to say that many nations in the region are quietly hoping that Israel can end the threat from Hamas and also the threat from Hezbollah

because they see those two groups as largely reflective of Iranian interests

so this is not Israel versus Hamas or Israel versus Hezbollah you have many many interests at work and many nation states who are quietly doing everything they can to try to get to some kind of resolution"
