With her clever lyrics, lovely and natural voice, and varied lyrical topics, this Coburg native, being described as an alternative pop singer, is definitely worth checking out.
It's also clear from reading up on her that Jayde knows where she wants to go in her musical career and I have every hope she'll get there.

GOOD BOOTY: LOVE AND SEX, BLACK AND WHITE, BODY AND SOUL IN AMERICAN MUSIC
By Ann Powers. New York: Dey Street Books, 2017.
Finally, I found someone who sucks worse than Josh Harris.
This book is a history of the intersections of sexuality and race in music in America, from New Orleans in the early 1800s to the internet world of today.
Though I found this sweeping tome informative, it smacks of the social justice warrior agenda. Powers' bias is clear throughout this history, and when she can't find evidence to support something, she makes it up, as in a Gospel singer's transgenderism.
It would also seem Powers has a dirty mind. Though sexuality is of course a huge part of popular music, like Josh Harris's "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" or a lot of the other rhetoric coming from fundamentalist Christian proponents of purity culture, she doesn't seem to realize there's a lot more to being attracted to someone than what goes on in one's lower regions. For the author, most everything is down to sex.

FAREWELL TO THE TWENTIETH CENTURY: A COMPENDIUM OF THE ABSURD
By Pierre Berton. Toronto: Doubleday Canada Limited, 1996.
This collection of humourous pieces about foibles of life in
the previous century seems slapped together. Though much in this collection is
both quite funny and still applicable, many of the pieces seem dated, as if the
book were compiled from old newspaper columns or something of the kind.
Seeing as how we’re about to wrap up the second decade of
the 21st century, I thought I’d take a look at some things that have
changed since this book was published. You can consider this a kind of letter
to the late Mr. Berton, if you like.
A Cold War spy story
For the last several years, the West has been trying to
ignite a second Cold War, if not a hot one, with Russia.
Annals of scientific
advance
Apparently, there are still perfume ads in magazines, even
though there is lots of talk nowadays about people being sensitive to certain
smells, with there even being signs saying THIS IS A SCENT-FREE ZONE.
Here is an interview with Susan Bennett, the voice of Siri.
Nowadays, we have the Dyson hand dryers, which dry your
hands much more completely and efficiently. However, I don’t know how much they’ve
caught on.
Sam Sylvester’s Great
Deterrent
With Donald Trump having just inaugurated the space force,
the deterrents will be in space as well as on Earth.
A twentieth-century
confession (a found document)
Hardly anyone does Christmas cards anymore. In fact, I think
people had stopped doing Christmas cards by 1996 when this book was published.
The Type-A
personality: A case study
Everyone is being pushed to be a Type-A personality to the
max.
Diamonds aren’t
forever
Check out this video telling you why engagement rings are a
scam.
The Elbow
Worshippers: A salutary report
With the increased encroachment of Islamic fundamentalism in
Western culture, as well as a backlash of rising Christian fundamentalism,
there’s still a huge amount of conflict over the display of the human body.
However, thanks to the internet, there’s also more nudity than ever before,
too.
The waiting room
This piece is a perfect example of why, as Jesus told us,
there will be no marrying or giving in marriage in Heaven. Besides, that
diamond engagement ring will be worth even less there anyway.
The day the Martian
landed
There are now literally dozens of programs on radio,
television and the internet, as well as websites, forums, social media
platforms, as well as conferences and conventions in real life, concerned with
the topic of life other places in the universe.
Twentieth-century
artifacts
In our time, the social justice warriors put their
free-wheeling spin on recent history, not-so-recent history and everything else
they please.
Mammoth Airlines
Annual Report
Since 9/11, air travel is even worse, thanks to increases in
airport security. The airlines constant need to increase profit margins no
matter what as well as the rising price of fossil fuels doesn’t help, either.
When cigarettes were
banned
More ridiculous laws have been enacted to try to prevent
youths from smoking, and now the same people are going after vaping, as well.
No word yet on if the government is going to do anything to figure out why
people develop the mental part of the addiction.
Funnily enough, we now also have an opioid crisis.
New fads in the
funeral industry
From what I’ve heard and seen, about 20 percent of people
don’t even bother having funerals or memorial services anymore.
Where’ll we go on our
holidays?
Space tourism is being vigourously talked about, with a few
private companies having been founded for this purpose, but there have been no
concrete developments so far.
Remember when
Christmas was for real?
Christmas is more commercialized than ever. Even Christian
organizations have gotten in on the act, with some saying if you don’t make a
big deal out of Christmas, you don’t love Jesus. (See my post “You Mean We
Crucified The Pagans?”)
The day the
population exploded
Check out this video on why population growth isn’t
a problem.
Also, China abolished its one-child policy a few years ago
after it turned out to be a huge, disastrous mess.
What Algernon
Stringer did for commercials
Now people are exposed to more advertising than ever. In
fact, there are free long-distance calling services out there that are
supported by advertising, meaning you have to listen to a commercial before
being connected to your party.
The great detergent
premium race
Other than receiving a few dvds in some laundry detergent, I
don’t think there were putting premiums in laundry detergent even back in ’96.
The first TV
execution
They show people being put to death on television in China.
(Them again.)
Doesn’t James Bond
realize no means no?
In the trailer for the latest installment in the franchise,
007 is portrayed as quite decrepit.
The ultimate wine
tasting
Now it seems everywhere in the world makes wine, not just
France, California, Chile, Niagara, etc.
Ralph Jasper’s
publishing triumph
There are still magazines in waiting rooms, but I’d imagine
most people are probably too engaged with their smartphones to bother taking a
look at them.
A movie critic’s rise
and fall
I actually remember a story several years ago in Maclean’s
about publishing companies taking book critic’s remarks out of context for the “Praise
For” section of the introductory parts of books.
Station CHOO with the
Sound That’s New
Radio, including the CBC, continues to get worse.
Bafflingly, CBC is actually more popular than it’s ever
been.
Incidentally, CHOO was an actual radio station, a country
station in Ajax which is now the same format but on FM and going by a different
monichre. I thought you would have known that, Pierre.
How we converted our
split-level into a monster home
Though there are still plenty of monster homes, the tiny
house movement has also gained a lot of momentum.
The darling of the
talk shows
In adition to their being more talk of aliens than ever
before, there is also more talk of psychic phenomena.
Whatever became of
Whosit?
Nowadays, when not bashing Prsident Trump or going gaga over
the latest salvo in the social justice warrior agenda, mainstream news consists
mainly of asking the average person how they feel about an event, even if it’s
taking place thousands of miles away.
A catalogue of
realistic Christmas toys
Not being in the parent loop, I don’t know how sophisticated
toys have gotten, but they’re probably more realistic than ever before.
Divorce in our time:
A modest proposal
Apparently, there actually are divorce ceremonies. Google it
if you don’t believe me.
A catalogue of the
new labour-saving devices
Nowadays we have voice-dialing.
A lot of people are now into installing wood stoves, or
pellet stoves.
Now they have battery-operated carpet sweepers.
Apparently, washboards are making a
comeback, what with the off the grid movement.
A coffee-lovers’ call
to arms
Nowadays, there are more coffee preparation options than
ever. I don’t drink coffee anymore so I can’t really critique the quality of
the different brands.

VELVET ELVIS
By Rob Bell. Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 2005.
The best part of this book is watching the fundies go crazy.
This is a thought-provoking, insightful and challenging book that will make you ponder deeply what it means to be a Christian and what walking with Jesus is all about. Granted, the way Bell phrases some things is at least slightly questionable, but the context of those phrases should prevent believers from being steered wrong.

A DAUGHTER'S DEADLY DECEPTION: THE JENNIFER PAN STORY
By Jeremy Grimaldi. Toronto: Dundurn, 2016.
This book has what all good books possess.
Namely, a gripping story told well by its author, a well-rounded and detailed presentation of people and events and a conclusion that wraps things up in the mind of the reader but also leaves one feeling pensive.
In this true crime account, journalist Grimaldi presents the 2010 news event and subsequent happenings in a very readable and accessible way. First, he unfolds the investigation. Then, he depicts the highlights of the trial. Then he tells the story, using details from the trial and presents a concluding part. Readers will find themselves as I was: unable to put this book down.

ARE JEWS THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN
The following is a response to this.https://goodfightradio.podbean.com/e/are-the-jews-a-synagogue-of-satan-part-2/
(There was very little in part one I would disagree with that I won't get to later in this post. Good Fight Ministries corrected some misinterpretations of Scripture, and so the only area of conflict I would have with them in part one would be the identity of the true covenant people.)
So Jehovah's Witnesses, Black Hebrew Israelites, or people like me were persecuting Christians in Smyrna and Philadelphia?! When the plain sense of Scripture makes sense, seek no other sense! It seems pretty obvious from the text that there were a group of people who claimed to be Jews but were not true Jews as defined in Romans 2 28-29 who were persecuting the Christians (made up of both Jews and Gentiles) in those two cities.
Why in 3 9 does Jesus say He would make these physical Jews know that He loved the Christians? Probably because those Jews were saying they were a special people for whom alone there would be a good future. Why does Jesus say He would make these Jews worship at the Christian's feet? Probably because those Jews were saying everyone else would worship them and be those Jews' servants in the world to come. This is still taught in the Jewish so-called holy book, the Talmud, today.
Now to the issue of the return to the land. First, when we use the word Jew today, we are mostly not actually referring to the ethnic group mentioned in the Bible. In addition, the original Jews, that is, the tribe of Judah (and Benjamin mixed in with them) were only two out of twelve original tribes. Those ten tribes were scattered at the time of the Assyrian invasion of Israel described in the Bible. They were scattered all over, then gathered into a land that, as I said in my last post, sounds nothing like modern-day Israel. The Jews, of course, were scattered as well in AD 70 and later joined the other ten tribes in their new land. (All this is historically and archaeologically provable, by the way.)
In Revelation, it says the 144 thousand were from twelve tribes (Dan being excluded for some reason.) You can not get 144 thousand modern Jewish men out of that! We also read in Revelation that those 144 thousand (along with a great multitude, the stranger among us who believes being one of us) go into the wilderness in order to be kept safe from the things that are happening during the tribulation period. (See Rev.12 and 3 10) This wilderness is in that part of the world where modern-day Israel is. Thus, those saints will be in Jerusalem when Jesus returns, places his feet on the Mount of Olives and sets up his kingdom. That is how we Caucasians (including the great multitude of believing strangers), are going to return to our ancient land.
As to touching the apple of God's eye, let me ask you a question. The West, particularly the United States as well as Canada, has been blessing Israel since 1948. Look at the curses mentioned in Deuteronomy 28, and/or look around you, watch the news, etc. Since 1948, do we have more of all the stuff mentioned in the latter part of that chapter, or less?
Also, was it not around or shortly following 1948 that Alfred Kinsey's ideas became more popular. Was it not sometime after the creation of the state of Israel that all those bands sold their souls for rock and roll and Hollywood ramped up it's war on God?
Who do you think promoted rock and roll? Who do you think is heavily involved in Hollywood? Alistaire Crowley, by the way, got a lot of his ideas from the Qabala.
Therefore, I will criticize unbelieving Jews all I want to. For those who would repent, I pray for them in the name of Jesus. For those believing Jews who are my brothers and sisters, I pray Revelation 3 9 for them in the name of Jesus.
As for Joe Schimmel being a Zionist shill, I wouldn't say he is, but let's be real here. He might get flack from a few cranks, crackpots or otherwise online, but you get far less persecution if you laud the Jews and come out strongly against "anti-Semitism" as he does than you do if you hold a position like mine.
(There was very little in part one I would disagree with that I won't get to later in this post. Good Fight Ministries corrected some misinterpretations of Scripture, and so the only area of conflict I would have with them in part one would be the identity of the true covenant people.)
So Jehovah's Witnesses, Black Hebrew Israelites, or people like me were persecuting Christians in Smyrna and Philadelphia?! When the plain sense of Scripture makes sense, seek no other sense! It seems pretty obvious from the text that there were a group of people who claimed to be Jews but were not true Jews as defined in Romans 2 28-29 who were persecuting the Christians (made up of both Jews and Gentiles) in those two cities.
Why in 3 9 does Jesus say He would make these physical Jews know that He loved the Christians? Probably because those Jews were saying they were a special people for whom alone there would be a good future. Why does Jesus say He would make these Jews worship at the Christian's feet? Probably because those Jews were saying everyone else would worship them and be those Jews' servants in the world to come. This is still taught in the Jewish so-called holy book, the Talmud, today.
Now to the issue of the return to the land. First, when we use the word Jew today, we are mostly not actually referring to the ethnic group mentioned in the Bible. In addition, the original Jews, that is, the tribe of Judah (and Benjamin mixed in with them) were only two out of twelve original tribes. Those ten tribes were scattered at the time of the Assyrian invasion of Israel described in the Bible. They were scattered all over, then gathered into a land that, as I said in my last post, sounds nothing like modern-day Israel. The Jews, of course, were scattered as well in AD 70 and later joined the other ten tribes in their new land. (All this is historically and archaeologically provable, by the way.)
In Revelation, it says the 144 thousand were from twelve tribes (Dan being excluded for some reason.) You can not get 144 thousand modern Jewish men out of that! We also read in Revelation that those 144 thousand (along with a great multitude, the stranger among us who believes being one of us) go into the wilderness in order to be kept safe from the things that are happening during the tribulation period. (See Rev.12 and 3 10) This wilderness is in that part of the world where modern-day Israel is. Thus, those saints will be in Jerusalem when Jesus returns, places his feet on the Mount of Olives and sets up his kingdom. That is how we Caucasians (including the great multitude of believing strangers), are going to return to our ancient land.
As to touching the apple of God's eye, let me ask you a question. The West, particularly the United States as well as Canada, has been blessing Israel since 1948. Look at the curses mentioned in Deuteronomy 28, and/or look around you, watch the news, etc. Since 1948, do we have more of all the stuff mentioned in the latter part of that chapter, or less?
Also, was it not around or shortly following 1948 that Alfred Kinsey's ideas became more popular. Was it not sometime after the creation of the state of Israel that all those bands sold their souls for rock and roll and Hollywood ramped up it's war on God?
Who do you think promoted rock and roll? Who do you think is heavily involved in Hollywood? Alistaire Crowley, by the way, got a lot of his ideas from the Qabala.
Therefore, I will criticize unbelieving Jews all I want to. For those who would repent, I pray for them in the name of Jesus. For those believing Jews who are my brothers and sisters, I pray Revelation 3 9 for them in the name of Jesus.

HAS THE CHURCH REPLACED ISRAEL?
The following is a response to this.https://goodfightradio.podbean.com/e/has-the-church-replaced-israel/
First of all, the people who comprise Israel in these modern times are the Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, Scandinavian, Celtic, and kindred people, not, by and large, the people we call Jews today: although, with more of them turning to Christ, there may very well be some of our people among the modern-day Jews.
What I get from Ezekiel 34 is that it is a prophecy to Israel, the northern ten tribes scattered a couple centuries before this was written. Even in Jesus' time, this dispersion was known of (John 7 15.)
Jesus, the shepherd, was going to gather those tribes into "their land", which is also called wilderness in verse 25. One would be advised to read the descriptions of that land found in Micah and Zechariah; doesn't sound a lot like the modern nation of Israel.
In Romans 9-11, Paul also clearly states that not all who are of Israel are Israel, but those who do the will of the Father. Remember, one of God's ultimate objectives throughout His Word is to gather a people who will worship Him.
For further reading on the Anglo-Israel truth, see "Judah's Sceptre and Joseph's Birthright" by R.H. Allen, available online in PDF and also from various ministries.
Side-notes: I would caution my fellow believers in the Anglo-Israel message that, just as our ancestors were cut off as Paul talks about in Romans 9-11, God can still give His message to another people, as indeed He is doing in many parts of the world today, South Korea being a notable example.
Apparently, questioning something related to Jews is anti-Semitic now.
Something truly can not be Judao-Christian. Judaism denies Jesus is the Christ. Also see Galatians 114.
If the root supports the branches and that root consists of the modern-day Jews, then name me all the famous Jewish people who were true theologians, pastors, TV and radio evangelists, missionaries, etc.
Moses wasn't Jewish; he was a Hebrew. Aside from being at least somewhat inaccurate, this is just plain lazy vocabulary.

STEAL AWAY HOME: ONE WOMAN'S EPIC FLIGHT TO FREEDOM AND HER LONG ROAD BACK TO THE SOUTH
By Karolyn Smardz Frost. Toronto: Harper Collins Publishers Ltd., 2017.
One of the best books I've read in a long time!
Piecing together historical and archaeological evidence, Frost tells the true story of Cecelia Jane Reynolds, a black woman born in slavery who escaped to Canada via the Underground Railroad. That would have been a great story in itself, but the author goes on to relate the rest of Reynolds' life, including her years spent in England and her return to Kentucky after the Civil War, to the home of the woman who had once been her mistress.
Every chapter of this book is brimming with historical details that will have you constantly putting down the book to mull these details over. With everything from the conditions of and attitudes toward black people at various times and in various places, to details about what modern towns were like in the nineteenth century and so much more, these little nuggets are by far the most attractive thing about this wonderful book.

A DISCUSSION ABOUT SECULAR MUSIC
The following is a response to this podcast.
This is a pretty ham fisted discussion.
I get what Joe Schimmel is saying in the first part, about his personal convictions on this issue, but he takes far too long to explain it.
There is no way "They Sold Their Souls for Rock and Roll", as good a documentary as it mostly is, could have covered every secular artist ever recorded, or even recorded since the start of the rock and roll era.
Incidentally, Christians invented rock and roll. Check out Sister Rosetta Tharp if you don't believe me.
The word continually in the verse he quotes doesn't mean literally. There are thousands of other things we do besides praising God throughout the day.
Ditto to how singing "Smoke on the Water" edifies. In fact, I would venture to say, depending on the content of the song of course, that if I am playing secular music well, that is honouring God because I am using the talents He has given me to the best of my ability, similar to how a rose glorifies God because it helps reflect Him in Creation.
I couldn't find any q and a or FAQ section on their website.
I would definitely agree Christians shouldn't listen to, and can be effected by, openly satanic music.
As to examples of secular music in the Bible:
Though it has parallels with our walk with Christ, God included the Song of Solomon in His Word, a secular love song that, if it were translated from the original Hebrew, couldn't even be played on the radio.
The dancing when the prodigal son returned. Look up what the psalms originally sounded like on YouTube; not very dancee.
Jesus mentions people playing the flute in the marketplace, the same way there is music in stores these days.
As to there not being secular music in Heaven, let's look at what a lot of secular songs are about:
Love: In Heaven, they neither marry or are given in marriage.
Political or Social Protest: Everything will be perfect.
The Difficulties of Everyday Life: See above.
I get what Joe and Chad are saying, but the way they're saying it could lead to legalistic attitudes in the listeners, which is something neither they or I would want.

THE Q AND A SHOW PART 3 - BAPTISM
The following is a response to this podcast.
Baptism is necessary for salvation. When we repent, we die to ourselves. We are then buried in Christ through baptism as it says in Romans 6 and we come up out of the water new creatures in Christ.
In the original Greek, the phrase in Acts 2 38 "for the remission of sins" means "In order to have your sins remitted", not "because your sins have already been remitted."
Show me one example in Acts where someone was saved without being baptized.
As to the examples of the thief on the cross and the publican in the temple, the new covenant didn't come into effect until after Christ rose from the dead. After all, if He had stayed dead, what significance would His sacrifice have had?
Incidentally, the parable of the pharisee and the publican isn't about how to get saved; it's about self-righteousness versus humility.
