Through all the tumult and the strife,
I hear that music ringing.
It sounds an echo in my soul–
How can I keep from singing?Hallelujah! The great storm is over!!

Greenville Syndrome in Hindsight
If the 20th-century culture wars were as real as we were taught — and how many times did I leave Whirlybirds convinced that the world would collapse before I woke in the morning? — and if Bob Jones University really is the West Point of Christian Fundamentalism, then I think I finally understand this song. A little.
I was so gung-ho to lay down my whole life for a constructed fight for a pristine good and against a clear evil. . . . we all were. And when you’re fighting — especially when that fight is more about resurrecting a “good war” than anything else — it doesn’t even matter who is wrong and who is right. The fight is everything. That’s how complete the training is.
And we lost in Vietnam too.
