New Post and New Music

     So...it has been exactly 1 month since I have blogged anything. Summertime has been a crazy hectic time. Great ministry has taken place. Great songs have been sung. Life has flown by while at times I have felt like I was standing still. While I have considered blogging on several occasions, it seems like there is always something to distract me from sitting down long enough to put words to this digital page. So you might be wondering what broke me out of my blogging stupor...it was a new CD.

   I pre-ordered Andrew Peterson's new album "Light for the Lost Boy." I mainly pre-ordered it because I was on his page buying something else and to be honest I tend to enjoy his music. I received my package with the new CD a day earlier than it was supposed to release and opened it excitedly (I mean all you digital only folks couldn't hear it until today.) Upon putting this disc into the player I think i literally stopped everything I was doing for several tracks. I won't go so far as to say that every track is amazing, but some of them simply should not be missed. The opening track "Come Back Soon" speaks poignantly about the longing each of us has in our hearts for Christ's return. The track "Shine Your Light on Me" made me literally catch my breath. These two are the highlights for me, but there isn't a bad track on the CD. And in actuality, there are most awesome songs here. This is musical and lyrical poetry like I've seldom enjoyed. I would encourage everyone who reads this (all 15-20 of you) to go check it out. We serve an awesome God, and Peterson knows how to poetically express many thoughts on about that awesome God. It is honestly a beautiful expression of worship and awe. I hope you enjoy.
   I'll try to get back to being regular with my blog posts now...so hasta la vista.
