What’s greater—’A Million New
Iowans….’ Or Psalm 117 ssung around a table?
I’m not, NOT doing ‘A Million New
Iowans—At A Profit,’ but someone should. I explain what great I’m doing after.
1--What is the average size farm
in japan - answers.com [About 10 acres]
about 2 hectaresI, the size of two
football pitches (soccer fields)
2—Anecdotally, I’ve been told that
a man made more money on his acre of herbs than on his hundreds of acres of
corn. Dukakis: ‘Endives’
3—Mom remembered when the deer
came back. Average size of farms increased, and number of kids decreased per
family, so the deer could survive.
4—So let’s settle new Iowans on 10
acres, even waste land.
5—With earthship technology
(self-sufficiency), telecommuting, going to school by computer, etc. a family
might survive on 10 acres. It wouldn’t
be easy.
6—It used to be done. Look at population per square mile stats over
the decades.
7—But the good is the enemy of the
great. ‘A Million…’ would be good, but
8—Jordan says in ‘Crisis Opportunity
and the Christian Future’ that one thing needed, among several is for the
church to be gathered around a table singing Psalms. A start would be ‘Opus 53:Conduct,’ and
having Day 8 (who can initiate to anyone at any time—as can Days 1 and 12) have
each other sing Psalm 117
, with Psalm Tone D, and ending
with 150:6, as an intro, because the last 3 tones of D are high-low-middle, an
historical indication, as explained on Google Sites, in this work.
Thus:
Psalm 117 King James Version (KJV)
117 O praise the Lord, all ye
nations:
praise him, all ye people.
2 For his merciful kindness is
great toward us:
and the truth of the Lord endureth
for ever.
Praise ye the Lord.
Add 150:6 (Jordan explains
elsewhere)
Let every thing that hath breath
praise the LORD.
Praise ye the LORD.
--This ‘Toscanini’ version (one
man plays all the parts, ans Arturo, they say, got his first conducting job
when the visiting conductor fell ill, and they said ‘Arturo (first violin)
knows everyone’s part, let him conduct’ will not work for billions of apps downloaded
(Someone write it—maybe I!) and it needs to be simpler for a group—though earlier
versions were simple enough for a 4 year old.
