Found
Originally by Hillsongs, recorded at the Albans's wedding, beau song of truth that I really connected with and thought I'd share
Lyrics:
Amazing love, now what else shall I need
Your name brings life, it’s more than the air I breathe
My world was changed, when Your life You gave for me
My purpose found and all that You want for me
And I’ve found myself in You, Jesus
And I’ve found myself in You.
So take me to a place where I can see You face to face
and all I wanna do, yeh all I wanna do is worship You

Early Warning System
Art... The greatest of early warning systems?
How Great Thou Art- Becoming the Archetype
Metal Version of a classic hymn by 'Becoming the Archetype'- from the album Dichotemy.
I was reading the about Carl Jung and how the bible influenced his thinking. Don’t really understand it much but the ‘Archetype’ is a key concept.
‘The archetypal image is expressed…in the heroes of myth and legend but above all in the image of Christ “who exemplifies the archetype of the self”’
-From The Oxford companion to the Bible.
Anyway thought I’d do a spot of googling on this, and happened across an interesting sounding band called ‘Becoming the Archetype’. I gave it a listen and discovered the band were Christians. I really like it so thought I’d share their version of ‘How Great Thou Art’.
I’m interested in this idea of ‘Becoming the Archetype’. It immediately reminds me of this scripture:
2 Cor 3 v18
And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
I hear phrases such ‘being Christlike’ and ‘becoming like Jesus’, but after being repackaged into my small and limited ideas of God, a truth as big and grand as the universe (if not bigger), can become stale in the mental tupperware I keep it in.
Anyway I’m not going to try and do a bible study or anything, but I like what this band are doing.
Also, I read that this album is also inspired by C.S. Lewis ‘Out of the Silent Planet’ trilogy of books, which I’ve recently read and enjoyed.
So the song.. love it… or hate it?!
And any thoughts on the above?

Opportunity
Going out of your way to provide opportunity
This Video had me laughing, then the brokenness of it completely winded me. The follow up is inspiring…
Perfect time of the year for stories like this…
////////Information taken from the Youtube video description//////////////
Throwing this video from the Columbus Dispatch out there, hoping we can find this talent a place to call home.
UPDATE-1: Many thanks go out to all of you who have been tossing phone numbers and e-mails my way for Ted’s sake. I went up to Hudson/I-71 (Columbus) today, but Ted wasn’t there. He is going to be on air tomorrow morning on radio station WNCI. I’ve left my contact info w/WNCI to call/e-mail me on a way to get your enormous opportunities over to him.
I’m going to give him a Trac phone (w/ample minutes) so that he can return calls to all of you.
Hopefully, in some way I’ll get in contact w/him. Peace.
UPDATE-2: To all those who have been writing me (as one of Ted’s only means of contact), I have learned that the radio station interviewing him tomorrow (1-5-11) a.m. is going to make him a formal offer. Whether true or not, we’ll see.
Hope it works out well for him. That was the whole point of me posting this video. I cannot thank enough everyone who was willing to do their part in offering Ted their helping hand.
Whoever lands him is certainly getting much more than a memorable personality; they’re getting a great human being as part of their team.
My best to all.
UPDATE-FINAL: Well everyone. You can give yourselves and Ted a high-five. He’s being given offers hand-over-fist over the air. He’ll be set for life.
My request to all. Whenever you run across a story such as this, don’t assume it’ll take a life of its own, on its own. It won’t. It can’t. There are too many other stories that drown out the one before it.
You need to spend time to get that story and its word out to many. If you care, you’ll do it.
Keep the faith, pay forward and always lend a hand; even if you’re the one who needs it.
God bless Mr. Williams. I’m sure we’ll be seeing more of him for sometime to come.
‘The greatest song I never wrote’

White Man
Brilliant Michael Gungor Band video/song.
Hey, not sure if anyone has posted this before, it’s pretty cool though. It’s a stop motion music video for Michael Gungor band; constructed entirely of felt!
I love the fundamental message it brings, and the way it covers many polemic church issues in a powerful yet wonderfully child-like way.
Peace
