A Response To Prop 8
Lost!
I can resonate so much with these lyrics right now. I can’t get this song out of my head:
Just because I’m losing
Doesn’t mean I’m lost
Doesn’t mean I’ll stop
Doesn’t mean I will cross
Just because I’m hurting
Doesn’t mean I’m hurt
Doesn’t mean I didn’t get what I deserve
No better and no worse
I just got lost
Every river that I’ve [...]
Love Remains
This is the only way I know how to process these fires. These are lyrics from a song I wrote and will play on Sunday at Missiongathering.
Love Remains
Oh the world did changeAs the skys all filled with greyAnd the ground scorched with painTook our lives away
But love remainedOh love remainedHow love remainedOur love remained
And [...]
Now Listening #5
Radiohead’s new album “In Rainbows.” This band continues to amaze my musical brain. Honestly, they nailed this album musically with a perfect blend of programming and great guitar work. I haven’t had too much time to interact with the lyrics, but I am loving this stuff. Once again, Radiohead proves why [...]
Intensity: In Four Parts
The last week of my life has been an extremely intense time. God is definitely speaking to me and opening my eyes through four very specific experiences in the last 6 days: Seattle, David Crowder, Brian McLaren, and the movie “For The Bible Tells Me So.” So in an attempt to really document [...]
Now Listening #4
Guster. Oh what a name. I know I am a little bit behind the curve in discovering their music… but it is really cool stuff. Right now I am listening to the song “Either Way.” Really cool lyrics over the top of some good sample work. The song “Satellite” has [...]
I Am Free…
Yesterday at Missiongathering was a great time. We introduced a new song called “I Am Free.” It was pretty rad (and yes I used the word RAD) to see our community really engage. The lyrics speak to where we are in our life of our community. So I figured I would [...]
Street Gatherings #3
Tonight’s “Street Gathering” is brought to you by the good folks at Mountain Dew… Mountain Dew, keeping people up way past consciousness.
Tonight I got the chance to meet Dante (in the black Metallica shirt) and Raymond (in the hat) at rehearsal. They rolled up pushing shopping carts full of bottles and cans and stayed [...]
Now Listening #3
I hooked up my vintage Scott speakers to my vintage Scott tube amplifier (all courtesy of TubieClaus) and spun my first vinyl in over two weeks. It took a good 30 minutes to fine tune the sound but… Oh the sounds of the B-side of U2’s Joshua Tree. Amazing sound. Amazing clarity. [...]
1/5 of the Way!
Hey all. Here is a quick update on the new album. As of today we are about one fifth of the way to having the money raised for the new album. After just a week of fundraising, I am pretty stoked. We haven’t sent out letters yet, and we havent promoted [...]
Street Gatherings #2 - My Friend Dave / Isaiah 43
Last night, on my way from some dessert with some friends, I crossed paths with a local man named Dave. Dave has been coming to Missiongathering for a while now, but I have yet to really have a conversation with him. Dave also lives on the streets and is a self-proclaimed “Bum Theologian.” [...]
Now Listening #2
Amy Winehouse. I know everyone is amped about her single “Rehab.” But this girl has got talent on the rest of the album. Check out these two albums: “Frank” and “Back To Black.” Bringing back the big band lounge music. A very cool website as well… click here.
