7 in 7, Day 7: "All Of History Is Changed"
All of history, every second of every day, hinges on the moment when Jesus Christ came into the world. I imagine the heavenly hosts held their breath, waiting for the moment when the Word of God became flesh and dwelt among us. Not the best demo ever - one rough take, but I’m tired. :-)
Lowly gentle Jesus, Son of God and Man The angels lead Your welcoming, condemned no more we stand...

7 in 7, Day Six: "Ready To Vanish"
This is my favorite of this year’s 7-in-7 I think. I had about 8 people tell me within a week that I HAD to read John Steinbeck’s “East Of Eden”. My wife read it in, like, 5 days. Annie is a big reader and when she told me it was the best book she’s ever read, I knew she wouldn’t think so lightly. So I read it and was blown away. I won’t try and do it...

7 in 7, Day Five: "Another Chance"
Sometimes it all goes awry. I love short little songs where the music feels happy but the lyrics are sad. There’s a certain naivety about that that I like, and this character feels kind of like a poor sap to me. Quick demo version.
In the dog days of August When the sun it stays up late It tarries for a minute longer Before it makes its great escape I look back on my decisions And all...

7 in 7, Day Four: "Nothing Is As It Seems"
The wisdom of this world is foolishness, and even my mind thinks about things incorrectly when they seem perfectly logical. And the older I get, the less I know.
When everything you learn all along the way Is revealed for what it is in the light of day You can hold your anthem close, so strict and stubbornly But soon enough you’ll run out of luck and be swept downstream And I know...

7 in 7, Day Three: "Lions"
I’ve been spending a lot of time in the Old Testament this year, and have really been challenged and grown, seeing Jesus Christ on every page of the Old Testament. ”Lions” is inspired by the visions in the book of Daniel, and the idea of a Lion standing tall that defeats the small lions on our behalf, and the power that gives His followers. Also used is the inspiring Isaiah...

7 in 7, Day Two: "Of Me And You"
There is no place I’d rather be than walking with Annie through life, even when times are tough.
When we were young enough to understand love We held onto what we had like it belonged to us With diamonds on your mind and rubies in your hands We both drew the line and held up our fists toward the wind When I was old enough to bury my head From waves that came crashing down upon what...

7 in 7, Day One: "One Day Soon"
A couple of weeks after my wife and I got married, her father passed away. More than I’ve ever experienced before, I realized how broken this world is. And things are not right. It is not how it is supposed to be. Isaiah 25 (“He will swallow up death forever”) and Revelation 21 (“Behold, I am making all things new”) were huge passages for Annie & I in that...

Heaven, Hell, and the Glory of God: A...
I know much has been said on Rob Bell’s new book, Love Wins: Heaven, Hell, And The Fate of Every Person Who Ever Lived, and while I certainly have no desire to add more static to that nearly deafening white noise, I felt it useful (even if only for my own future reference), to jot down a few thoughts I had concerning what Rob says. I read the book over the course of about 3 days (it is a...

Learning is a difficult employment. It is violent and it is painful because the core of learning means that what you thought was true is not. It turns out you were wrong about something. If I, as a believer, am honest when I tell God that I want to learn, what I am actually asking Him to do is change me. And that is never fun. I am better for it in the end and I know Him deeper once...

Patient
There are occasions where if I could just step out of my house, walk down my drive, down my street, and off into the distance, I would. It seems a much better prospect than fighting through what is in front of you. Leave this behind and start over new somewhere else. Because sometimes the things you want the most you just can’t have. The things that seem right in front of you all of a...

New Site / New Music
In the coming 6 months, I’ll be releasing 4 EPs with 5-7 songs each, the culmination of music I’ve been writing over the past couple of years. I will be self-producing the records in my studio, The Audio Village, with the help of Aaron Cauble. Unlike previous records, I will be employing a band on the EPs and recording many of the tracks live in the studio. So far, the band consists...
