Alien Drums

“Alien Drums” is a metaphor. It comes from those big, round “drums” up on communications towers. This phrase reminds me there is “something out there” — a spiritual world to be discovered. So I seek to listen to the Alien Drums; I seek to hear the sounds from beyond. I think they are not just sounds of stuff with mystical awe attached, although that is a part of it. I see it more as truth revealed; and that truth is revealed by an amazingly diverse group of sources. Like the philosophers of old, I find truth to be an amazingly interesting subject. As a Christian, I give the Bible a place of importance among truth sources that is equal to none. I give it more than that; I give it authority over other truth sources. But life has shown me that God has revealed truth in amazingly diverse ways; He’s even shown it to me from people or books or philosophies that I would not otherwise agree with.

PHOTOGRAPH AT TOP: I took it in 2005 at the cathedral in Coventry, England. It represents two spikes made into a cross, but it also looks like a dove.
