Be Still and Know that He is God.
The alarm went off this morning with this song playing, and it was incredible.
God is.... breath-taking.

Sara Groves
Along with David Crowder* Band, Derek Web, Jon Foreman and all those other glorious musicians out there, I also love this artist: Sara Groves.
She is an incredible musician. She is honest in her lyrics and I so appreciate it.
If you haven't heard of her, or haven't given her much of a chance, today is the day to start.
Her new album is beautiful.

Lifelight 2008
I was pleasantly surprised when my hubby brought home the new
album from Switchfoot "Hello Hurricane" and the liner notes
had this photo in it.
It's from the Lifelight Music Festival 2008.
The prize tents in the back seem to prove that.
I put an arrow in the area that my hubby and I were standing and staring.
The concert rocked my face off.

Sufjan Stevens: Put The Lights On The Tree
HT: Darrin
I was introduced to Sufjan, by our friend, Darrin, years ago. We happily received the cd's and listened to them once or twice and then they sat on the shelf. Neither of us understanding or knowing what a gift this music would be to us.
Two years ago, D again gave us some more Sufjan, and since we were heading to his wedding in Cincinnati, we had the discs jamming in our van..... long story short: we fell in love for the first time with this incredible artist and his incredible and unique music.
His Christmas albums are sublime, like nothing you have ever heard. And well, the albums that we had received from D a long time ago are now listened to often.
Give him (Sufjan) a try sometime.

A Savior on Capitol Hill
I think Obama will make a decent president. I think he'll do some things that will help this nation. I think he'll do things that hurt this country. He's an imperfect human being. However, as I read the comments of some people, they think that all of their problems will be solved. Derek Webb has some good commentary on this. ~JackhammerI’m so tired of these mortal men
with their hands on their wallets and their hearts full of sin
scared of their enemies, scared of their friends
and always running for re-election
so come to DC if it be thy will
because we’ve never had a savior on Capitol Hill
you can always trust the devil or a politician
to be the devil or a politician
but beyond that friends you’d best beware
’cause at the Pentagon bar they’re an inseparable pair
and as long as the lobbyists are paying their bills
we’ll never have a savior on Capitol Hill
all of our problems gonna disappear
when we can whisper right in that President’s ear
he could walk right across the reflection pool
in his combat boots and ten thousand dollar suit
you can trust in his power to come to your defense
it’s the way of the world, the way of the gun
it’s the trading of an evil for a lesser one
so don’t hold your breath or your vote until
you think you’ve finally found a savior up on Capitol Hil

He Still Surprises Me
If you know my husband, you won't believe what he did last night.
We were at a music festival, we were walking around looking for a food booth, I saw the lead singer of MxPx, one of my hubby's favorite bands, and I told him. He then proceeded to ask me if I would take a picture.
I took his phone, thinking that my hubby wanted a picture of himself with the lead singer being in the background (without the lead singer's knowledge??), BUT no....
He walked up to the guy, said strongly: "Mike, Can you turn for a picture?" and he responded, "Sure, Yes." and he turned around, both smiling brightly....
So, here I was with the phone in my hand trying to believe what had just happened. Trying to believe that I could press the photo button correctly....
Obviously, I did okay. But wow! This goes into the category of "If You Don't Know Me By Now."
I never, ever knew my timid, quiet hubby would do this!
