The Metanarrative?

I dont know that I've put this video up on anything before but I was reminded of it the other day and I wanted to put it up again. Although, in watching it again, I realized something that I hadnt before. That the way he loves classical music and the way he energetically lives to instill that love in everyone makes me ashamed of the way I talk about God. I would like to do with God what he does with classical music. The best part about his presentation was setting classical music within the greater "story" of our lives. He showed that the overall picture of Chopin's piece and of life in general is what matters - not the individual notes. I am guilty of "putting the impulse on every note" instead of living life on one buttock. That could be anything from mechanically ticking off theological points to someone or emphasizing church programs and categories instead of passionately telling the story of the world and God's gracious plan. Like this speaker, I would like to show people that they want to come home too and that there is a Grand Plan that has been put in place to bring them there. If I do that, I will get to see shining eyes too.

More good music....Josh Ritter

I Will Possess Your Heart

I was just talking to Michael about how much i am getting into Death Cab for Cutie and his wife showed me another great song that i will undoubtedly be listening to over and over again (What Sarah Said). Having said that, this is the song that got me hooked on them. The reasons include: I like prominent drums, i like the piano being used to accent the song, i like songs that slowly build, i like the words, and i like his voice. Also, i just noticed that the girl in this video really really reminds me of my cousin Kirstie (including some of her facial expressions), which is another reason to like the video.
