One of These Things

Things are never what they seem and your eyes can deceive you. Maybe that’s why Sesame Street was so important for so many of us growing up in the seventies.In 1968, Joan Ganz Cooney introduced the show with the teaching segment, “One of These Things.” Her work, set to music by Joe Raposo, conveyed a methodology for study and a life-saving template for correct behavior.“One of these things,” brothers and sisters, always and forever, is not like the others.Thank God for that; and thank God for Sesame Street, and the teachers of that era who gave a damn, made an effort and used their capacity to teach as many kids as possible (people they would never meet) the power of observation.Roots, Habibi, not fruits.“One of these things is not like the others.”Are these things different?How do these things fit together?Why do some things stand apart?Why do things appear as they do?Should these things be excluded because they are different?Are they different?‘Ayin-Bet-Resh‘Ayin-Resh-BetPlease, somebody, can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?“He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”This week, I discuss Luke 6:1.  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
