In this context, there is not anything too remarkable about “I Got So High that I Saw Jesus,” even as country music. If you’ve already done that, your item hasn’t arrived, or it’s not as described, you can report that to Etsy by opening a case.

I can’t tell you if the dream was real or not, but I did find what I was looking for, that connection I had prayed for.A knowing smile, almost as if he were tickled that I was so excited to see him, like spouses seeing one another from across the room at a party and smiling and nodding.

Nevertheless, such songs do presuppose a recognizably Christian language and common sense, even if they imagine stretching it or rebelling against it—and of course a sizable fraction of the performers and audiences do presuppose sincere piety, even if they also worship hot sex with their partners inside or outside of church-sanctioned nuclear families. Thus, we need to consider the song on deck today in relation to the wider emerging sound palette she is developing, which brings us into dialogue with a politics of memory leading to 1980s musicians like Joan Jett and Madonna.

I experienced the grace of God in Christ and it set me free of all the pressure I’d been putting on myself to perform for God. He told me not to worry or concern myself with these things because He would take care of it for me. In light of such grace, one would naturally expect a response along the lines of what Miley and Noah flag as “love”—and/or gratitude, compassion, Miley’s Happy Hippie Foundation, and so on.

I saw and sensed in it inclusive love undiminished by my imperfections, sins, shame, and guilt-feelings. Next thing I knew I was back in the moving car, like nothing had happened, looking out the open passenger window. The money and assets we accumulate, the fame and power we've attained or seek to attain - all of the things of this nature will one day pass away, but those lives of others we impact for Jesus Christ will last for eternity , and we will be rewarded for the part we helped play by impacting those lives . To my awareness, everyone in the house but me was asleep — Guy across our room in his bed on the other side of the basement fireplace and, upstairs on the main floor of the house, my dad and mom in their bed in their bedroom and my 5-year-old sister Avon and 3-year-old brother John in their beds in their bedroom. In my mind’s eye I saw myself at the bottom of Mount Sinai, where Moses received the Ten Commandments.Available as an art print on canvas, photo paper, watercolor board, uncoated paper or Japanese paper. Catholics stress church institutions and rituals as boundary-enforcers and intermediaries—so if, for example, Miley and Noah wish to have a connection with Jesus, they should try confession in the Catholic church first and priest-administered sacraments second. In another classic case, the Grateful Dead covered Haggard’s “Okie from Muskogee” (“We don’t smoke marijuana in Muskogee…we like living right and being free”). I literally wanted to jump out of the window of a moving vehicle (even though I had just feared for my life in the same vehicle) to be next to him. After my three days were finished I left the monastery more desperate and dejected then when I had arrived.

One day my best friend drove almost two hours just to give me a hug and pray with me on my lunch hour. I’ve created a 30-day Thought Life Challenge, one exercise a day — first working to identify negativity and weed it out, and secondly to find joy through gratitude. Based on the book the monk gave me about grace I decided that God wanted to teach me about his grace. As I was saying the rosary, counting the Hail Mary prayers with my fingers, I could scarcely stay awake.As I was thinking I should look for His face, I raised my eyes, and I couldn't have been more surprised by what I saw. In Miley’s rethinking of these 1980s legacies—bundling Madonna, Joan Jett, and Dolly Parton, plus her own voice, into one original package—we have the advantage of Miley’s far superior vocal prowess, compared to Madonna’s, and a powerfully assertive rock sound palette. But if you were in the meat market with me for those three months when I was 21 years old you would not have laughed — you would’ve cried for me. Our dedicated Spoon fans are also enjoying the add-ons seen below, including lanyards and chain set. Obviously, this is supposed to be slightly provocative and is not designed to be sung by an average church choir.
