The story behind the song:

THE ART OF CELEBRATION STORY - REND COLLECTIVE

To all my friends...

...Who are fighting for the joy in both the daily life, and the unexpected that we are given.

Gifts...
246. The ability to choose Joy.
247.  Music that heals the soul.
248.  A God "who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works withing us." (Quoting the apostle Paul who being locked in a prison for years still was able to say it perfectly.)

May I give Him the glory of all my Joy, by slowing to see life for all that it is.

A pretty tough piece of meat I'm still chewing over.

Do you wonder why this is the attitude "outsiders" take when they brush past those of us who call ourselves Christians?  I just had a conversation like this, a little more respectful, but basically this conversation.  I'm not satisfied with the answer, "Darkness hates the light."...Those who were considered the worst of people in Jesus' time where the ones who where most attracted to Him...What does that say about what we should be doing vs. what we are doing?...Food for thought...

Down Home by Alabama, part 1

Each time I have travelled down home this past month this song runs through my mind.

If you ever need rest to your soul...

Then look this guy up David Nuveu.  I have three of his CD's (not all of his music are the old hymns), every afternoon as soon as the boys go to bed, I put his music in, and within the first three notes my heart begins to slow...

Hope you enjoy him as much as I do.
