The Spirit of Detroit is a city monument with a large bronze statue created by Marshall Fredericks and located at the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center on Woodward Avenue in Detroit, Michigan, USA. It was commissioned in 1955 for a cost of $58,000, and dedicated in 1958. In its left hand, the large seated figure holds a gilt bronze sphere emanating rays to symbolize God. In its right hand, is a family group symbolizing all human relationships. The 26-foot (7.9 m) sculpture was the largest cast bronze statue since the Renaissance when it was first installed. It was cast in Oslo, Norway.

The statue underwent a restoration in 2006[update], funded by foundations and other private donations.

Name

The sculpture was not actually named. Nevertheless, it bears an inscription from 2 Corinthians (3:17) on the wall behind it: “Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” It also includes the seals of the city and the county. A plaque in front of the sculpture bears the inscription, “Through the spirit of man is manifested in the family, the noblest human relationship.”

Already generating Oscar buzz, this offers further proof that Pixar’s making some of the best films anywhere.

The fact that I can take my 6 year-old daughter?

“Shadowfeet”

Walking,stumbling on these shadowfeet
toward home,a land that i’ve never seen
I am changing: less and less asleep
made of different stuff than when i began
and i have sensed it all along
fast approaching is the day

[CHORUS]
when the world has fallen out from under me
I’ll be found in you, still standing
when the sky rolls up and mountains fall on their knees
when time and space are through
I’ll be found in you

Theres distraction buzzing in my head
saying in the shadows it’s easier to stay
but I’ve heard rumours of true reality
whispers of a well-lit way

[CHORUS]

You make all things new

[CHORUS]

[CHORUS 2]
When the world has fallen out from under me
I’ll be found in you, still standing
Every fear and accusation under my feet
when time and space are through
I’ll be found in you

Death Cab for Cutie – Cath

My old favourite Death Cab song…

Cath…
She stands with a well intentioned man
But she can’t relax with his hands on the small of her back
As the flashbulbs burst she holds a smile
Like someone would hold a crying child

Soon everybody will ask what became of you
Your heart was dying fast and you didn’t know what to do

Cath…
It seems that you live in someone else’s dream
In a hand-me-down wedding dress
With the things that could have been are repressed
But you said your vows and you closed the door
On so many men who would have loved you more

Soon everybody will ask what became of you
Your heart was dying fast and you didn’t know what to do
The whispers that it won’t last roll up and down the pews
And if our hearts were dying that fast, they would have done the same as you
I’d have done the same as you

My new favourite Death Cab song…

His head was a city of paper buildings
And the echoes that remained
Of old friends and lovers
Their features bleeding together in his brain
Once it started it’s harder to tell them apart

He was always distracted
By the very mention of an open door
Because he had sworn not to be what he’d been before

To be a remain, remain, remain, remainder
To be a remain, remain, remain, remainder

The television was snowing softly
As she hunted for her keys
She said she never envisioned
Him the type of person capable of such deceit

And they carried on like long division
Because it was clear with every page
Oh, that they were further away
From a solution that would play
Without a remain, remain, remain, remainder
Without a remain, remain, remain, remainder
Without a remain, remain, remain, remainder
Without a remain, remain, remain, remainder

He has sworn not to be what he’d been before

To be the remain, remain, remain, remainder…

She got the call today
One out of the gray
And when the smoke cleared
It took her breath away
She said she didn’t believe
It could happen to me
I guess we’re all one phone call
from our knees
We’re gonna get there soon

If every building falls
And all the stars fade
We’ll still be singing this song
The one they can’t take away
I’m gonna get there soon
She’s gonna be there too
Cryin’ in her room
Prayin’ Lord come through
We’re gonna get there soon

Oh it’s your life
Oh it’s your way
Pull me out of the dark
Just to show me the way
Cryin out now
From so far away
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love

Meet me once again
Down off Lake Michigan
Where we could feel the storm blowin
Down with the wind
And don’t apologize
For all the tears you’ve cried
You’ve been way too strong now for all your life

I’m gonna get there soon
You’re gonna be there too
Cryin’ in your room
Prayin’ Lord come through
We’re gonna get there soon

Oh it’s your life
Oh it’s your way
Pull me out of the dark
Just to show me the way
Cryin out now
From so far away
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love

Cause you are all that I’ve waited for
All of my life
(We’re gonna get there)
You are all that I’ve waited for
All of my life

You pull me closer to love
Closer to love
Pull me closer to love
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love oh no
Closer to love
Closer to love

Pull me closer to love

A Conversation – Chapter 10

John Piper’s Closing Prayer:

Father, that is a miracle. To not just see that honey is a certain viscosity & is brownish, and (we’re told) molecular reasons why it is sweet, but to put it on the tongue and then have it incontrovertible for our soul forever that the gospel is the sweetest, most satisfying reality in the world.

The sound cuts off after this. Not sure why.
