"Mash-up"

Mash-up: combining two--or more-- different ideas, or layering them, in order to form one. Finding that one idea, may fill in the deficits of another. (This is my adapted definition of what a mash up is, adapted from a musical mash-up, which can be seen here. Thank you, "Glee.")

If one looks hard enough, one can find redemptive qualities (with some deficits) in secular works--sometimes non-believers can be so profound, "building" altars to God without their conscious knowledge (with deficits filled in by what God has to say):

Today's Mash-Up:

from Lucy Schwartz, lyrics from her song "Gone Away:"

"we were never meant to be this damn broken/words were never meant to be this half-spoken
Falling in a space between the universe/ and all we see has gone away/ Gone away..."

and from the word of the LORD:

" The LORD upholds all who are falling and raises up all who are bowed down. The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food in due season. You open your hand you satisfy the desire of every living thing. The LORD is righteous in all his ways and kind in all his works. The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; he also hears their cry and saves them. The LORD preserves all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy. My mouth will speak the praise of the LORD, and let all flesh bless his holy name forever." [Psalm 141: 14-21]

"He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds. He determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names..." [Psalm 147:3-4]
