“The music industry went through such a strange stretch in 1977, especially in this country, with the whole punk rock thing coming about. Punk was rebellious-and justified in that response-but it had very little to do with music, and so it created a highly-charged but frighteningly floundering atmosphere that I found very, very disheartening. Musical quality for me has always been an important part of rock'n'roll-and winning recognition for that has long been an uphill battle all the way. Punk seemed like rock'n'roll utterly without the music.” WayLittlesLongImportantCountryWholeFoundWinningQualityRocksStrangeIndustryBattleResponseMusicalRecognitionAtmosphereRock N RollPunkJustifiedRebelliousMusic IndustryPunk RockDishearteningUphill BattlesFloundering Author:Steve Winwood

“Too many Christians become bitter and angry in the conflict. If we descend into hatefulness, we have already lost the battle. We must cooperate with God in turning what was meant for evil into a greater good within us. This is why we bless those who would curse us: It is not only for their sakes but to preserve our own soul from its natural response toward hatred.” IfsSoulChristianEvilLostNaturalGreaterBattleConflictHatredAngryResponseSakeBitterPreservesCurseBlessGreater Good Book:The Power Of Covenant Prayer Source: The Power Of Covenant Prayer
“We are deploying battle groups, battalions, which we consider necessary to convey a message of deterrence, credible deterrence, that if one NATO ally is attacked, it will trigger a whole response from the whole alliance.” BattleResponseNato Author:Jens Stoltenberg
