What is a UR person ?
Someone with more than a head knowledge of, but whose very heart and expression of life has been changed by the message of the Universal Restoration.  I was saying it as a synonym for Christian Universalists, in a context where many of the folks that believe in the Universal Restoration and it's truth from cover to cover in the Scriptures of the Holy Bible are uncomfortable with being called a Universalist because of the tainting of that naming of the folks with the same common interest with regards to this particular aspect of truth of the Scriptures has gotten by Church History and cultural evolution to where the word "Universalist" in the minds of many is either an automatic synonym for a Unitarian or for a Unitarian Universalist, or the UUA (i.e. Unitarian-Universalist Association).

Ahhhhh... music! Where would my life be without it?

Here's one that if it's not about UR I don't know of a song that is:

Daniel Amos Hound of Heaven

Check out the chorus; it's UR in a nutshell!

You can't run/ You can't hide from the Hound of Heaven/
You're free to choose/ can you refuse the seeker of souls?

As a bonus, check out this one by DA...and grasp the lyrics Half-light, Epoch and Phase

And here's one that's UR minded by one of my favorite, ummm... Christians, T-Bone Burnett:  River of Love

And by the way has anyone ever considered the lyrics to The Who's, Bargin or Rush's Free Will or Huey Lewis and The News' Power of Love in a 'Christian' context?

One more: A song that made me cry for the realization when I first heard it for the truth Rodger Daltrey sings about: The Who's Real Good Looking Boy.

Would that we could all see ourselves, through love, in this way despite what we are told about ourselves... And what we tell ourselves.

Jesus reiterated that the second greatest commandment was a response to the first and that it was that we should love our neighbour as we love ourselves.

So, don't you gotta love yourself, first?

And where does the ability to do that come from?

Be good!
