This is a piece I wrote back in 2010 but with the release of my latest book series and the urgency of the message the Lord has given me I thought it would “put steam in the boiler” as we move ahead.
After reading it again this morning I thought just how poignant the message is as we move into 2014 with all the trials and tribulations facing us. How important it is for the bride of Christ to rise from her slumber and be about the business of the Kingdom … the business of the King … waking up America!
Back in 1972, after his 1967 hit of Alice’s Restaurant, Arlo Guthrie recorded a song that has long been a favorite of mine. There is just something very melodic about it as it paints a vivid picture of life in America. I guess I’ve played that tune hundreds of times, and as a matter of fact I was just listening to it in the truck this morning when the Lord got my ear and asked me to listen a little closer.

He often gets through to me in the words of songs but not generally in the way you might think. He always shows me a new meaning to challenge my thinking, and you can rest assured that I never hear that song the same way again. And this morning was no different as I pulled into a parking place and just listened to what He had to say. The message was one I was not expecting.
Days start the same and soon one becomes like another. America stirs and wakes to find yet one more step to take along the road she is following as one after another American sets forth on a new day.
Life for most of America has become an odyssey, much like that of the Greek hero Odysseus — Ulysses, as he was known in Roman myths — and his long, arduous journey home following the fall of Troy. Life for America rolls past all of man’s efforts to make meaning of it. But all that’s left are graves that have no names, man struggling to make it through the day, and

Every day He asks the same question and the emptiness of the answer fills volumes. He looks down at the empty and hopeless eyes and asks:
Don’t you know me? I’m here every day with the answer to your deepest questions and yet you never stop to ask. Don’t you know me?
Time slips by one day after another and man continues to drift farther and farther down the tracks into numbness. No matter what he tries to fill the void with the results are always the same. All he feels is deadness from his man made solutions and he slowly stops looking for the answers and just tries to hide from the storms —

Generation after generation has enjoyed the hard work of their fathers. Just moving through life one day after another, slowly riding through their journey, pretending all is well and seeking comfort wherever they can find it while hope slowly fades away.
And all it seems that this life has to offer are the man made comforts which, like that train, haven’t heard the news that everything is passing away and will one day be but a cold memory.
How sad that America, in the midst of all her trials and moral crisis, like the City of New Orleans, is slowly headed down to the sea. How interesting that the number 5 in the Bible stands for completeness —

The truth is that America, along with the rest of the world, is slowly nearing the end of her journey as each day brings her closer to the return of “The Son.” Perhaps she doesn’t hear the question because she’s forgotten who’s been asking it from the beginning. Then again maybe the years of her
Have we bothered to tell her that someone really wants to know how she is? Have we allowed ourselves to only feel the
America needs to know that she has a native Son who understands her and is deeply concerned about her. He asks that question every morning and will continue to do so until the last mile is run.
The Science Of A Breakup Song
As the bride of Christ, let’s not fail to shake America awake because our bridegroom truly wants us to know how America is. Time is short and Jesus is telling us that very soon…
Here is the original City of New Orleans if you want to hear it and I’ll bet you’ll never hear it the same again … and you won’t see Arlo with dark hair anymore …
About Thomas M Mitchell Pastor Tom has a deep love for the Word of God and a hunger to see lives changed since dedicating his life to the Lord in 1963. It is his vision to see the bride of Christ walk with her bridegroom with a repentant and obedient heart and a never ceasing hunger for His presence in her daily life. Without that desire, our time here on earth is destined to fall far short of His best for us. Walking with Jesus is the most exciting and rewarding blessing after becoming a Christian. In the loving words of Oswald Chambers ... My Utmost For His Highest. And you will find His Highest when you spend time with Him in the Holiest Place - that garden He has created for you alone, where He waits and longs to spend time with you.Flashback: Sometime in the ’70ies, I’m attending Elementary school in Santa Monica, California. It’s Friday after lunch, when my teacher, Mr. A., gathers our class an all the other 5th graders in the auditorium…
Shaggy, Sean Paul And Spice Talk Collaborating For New Hit Song
Rückblende: In den ’70igern, ich gehe in die Grundschule in Santa Monica, Kalifornien. Es ist gleich nach dem Mittagessen am Freitagnachmittag, als Mr. A, mein Klassenlehrer, unsere Klasse und und alle übrigen 5. Klässler der Parallelklassen in der Aula versammelt…
…including me, a little German girl, who only knew these songs from the radio. I loved our Friday sing-along-hours better than any other classes during the week, because these songs were so different from those I had learned in my German school. The words to many songs stuck till today. AND I can still “pledge allegiance to the Flag…” and know the words of the American National Anthem by heart… 😉
Inclusive mir, einem kleinen deutschen Mädchen, das diese Lieder nur aus dem Radio kannte. Diese Freitagnachmittag-Mittsing-Stunden waren mir die liebsten in der Woche, denn die Lieder waren so völlig anders als all die, die ich in meiner deutschen Schule gelernt hatte. Die Liedertexte sind mir in Erinnerung geblieben. Ich kann heute sogar noch das Treue-Gelöbnis auf die Flagge und die amerikanisch Nation und den Text der amerikanischen Nationalhymne auswendig…

…but City of New Orleans* remains my favorite. I have no idea who the girl with the incredible voice was, but I had to sit down and listen to her for a while. Her voice was amazing and she really made my day 🙂
…aber City of New Orleans* ist mein Lieblingslied aus der Zeit. Ich weiss leider nicht, wer das Mädchen mit der wunderbaren Stimme war, aber ich musste ihr für ein Weilchen lauschen. Ihre Stimme war einfach unglaublich und hat mir wirklich Freude bereitet
*City of New Orleans was composed by Steve Goodman and was his biggest success. He died at the age of 34 in 1984 due to leukemia. Arlo Guthrie and Willie Nelson made this song famous.
