"But I'll take the hand of those who don't know the way, who can't see where they're going. I'll be a personal guide to them, directing them through unknown country. I'll be right there to show them what roads to take, make sure they don't fall into the ditch. These are the things I'll be doing for them— sticking with them, not leaving them for a minute." These words from Isaiah 42:16 have been an encouragement to Faith and I as we have taken this journey to Spain together. I just saw this version from The Message and thought it would be appropriate to post here.
If you are reading this blog, thank you for making this journey with us. May you also be encouraged by these same words as you continue on your own journey through life.

It's Good to Live By the Ocean
From a recent visit to the coast on a very windy day.
I am a music junkie.
I use iTunes every day. Below is a picture of music I've purchased from iTunes. Certainly not representative of my entire collection, but for now, it's a way to share my music here. I recommend most of the artists and albums below without hesitation. Listen to some new music today - it's good for you.
So clearly I'm either too busy or too lazy to try and post something that might actually be thoughtful. So if you come to my blog for deep stuff, you might be disappointed. However, if you like to see cool videos and hear cool new music, this post's for you.
I made my annual post-christmas iTunes binge, and one of my new discoveries is a guy/band that goes by the name City and Colour. And really, don't we all like to add superfluous vowels to our words and call it British?
I don't often share music videos as I'm not often impressed by them. But I really was impressed by this one. The song is also one of the best ones on a good album. Enjoy.
Phil Keaggy is one of my (many) favorite artists and musicians. And not because I listen to him every day (I don't), and not because I try to see every possible concert I can (also don't). It is because every time I DO listen to his music, and every time I DO see him in concert, it is special. There is nothing like listing to true musical genius.
The last time I saw Phil in concert was some years ago at an intimate show at my brother's church. He closed the show out with one of Rich Mullin's (many) best songs - Hold Me Jesus. Rich is also one of my (many) favorite artists and musicians. Tragically, he died in a car accident some years ago. Phil's version was warm, magical, and unforgettable. I still harbor hopes that it will make an appearance in one of Phils future studio recordings.
This is why I was excited to discover this on YouTube today:
