Their Music Makes Me Fly

heard about a sea where sin sinks like stones
there's no floor there just mercy down below

heard about a man with holes in his hands
he can hide mountains of sin in them

his smile destroys my religion
his love shakes down my prison

Dazzled, enraptured, euphoric, soul soaring along with Cageless Birds!

There is too much to love: Lap steel guitar. Accordion. Husband & wife duo. Big, booming harmonies. Home brew songwriting. Energy. Lyrics that cut right to it. Living God hanging out in your living room. Uglyish people becoming so intensely radiantly beautiful in Christ, their beauty magnified through collective song.

Sometimes you discover new music and it's a goldmine.


p.s. I have a thousand dreams, mostly pipe dreams, and this is one of them. To create beautiful music with the truest friends and record it at home. I have SO MUCH to do in heaven. Oughta keep me busy for eternity.

counting the graces

thank you Father for

bread dough failed to properly rise repurposed as pretty braided french bread

totally struck and even brought to tears by the children's books account of Gethsemane...thank you is never enough for ALL you have done

Sandra & Jiang Bo & children

children listening intently to chapter book read aloud

learning to hold loosely my vision for our upcoming Easter performance

learning to buckle down and finish the chores already

seeing my Drew next to bro Peter, hearing his stories of good times, speaking Chinese together for privacy in a not-private setting!

I sin, you love
