i am chris brown…for now

I am so proud of my wife. She graduated from grad school this weekend with a Masters in Social Work….(drumroll)….with a 4.0 GPA. Yeah, she’s smart and beautiful. And she’s got the biggest heart of anyone I’ve ever met. I am blessed. She is awesome.

So I posted earlier about the sick loop Aaron created for one of the songs we did this past week…now Wes, one of our producers, has posted a video of it–(rather terrible quality…we didn’t capture it with our main cameras)–but at least you get to hear Aaron’s solo. Enjoy.

[Wanted to post as part of the ongoing chaos happening at RagamuffinSoul.com]

So this past Sunday we had a different element in our worship experience. Aaron Robertson, one of our keys players, and loop-making-extrordanair, created a sample of Hillsong’s tune “To Know Your Name.” He then layered parts live as the song progressed and had a smokin’ keys solo. yes. smokin’. He played, I sang, and the we had names of God scrolling behind us on the screens the whole time. It was a cool way to illustrate the theme our of series Small Is the New Big. Always a great idea to try new ways of creating unique experiences with God. Check out part of Aaron’s loop (minus vocals and his live elements).

Beth and I watched I Am Legend again over the weekend. We saw it with some friends when it first came out, and I loved the closing monologue.

–On speaking of Robert Neville (the scientist who dedicated his life to finding the cure to the virus that left only 1% of the world’s population unaffected)

“He…discovered the cure for the restoration of humanity…and gave his life to defend it. We are his legacy. This is his legend. Light up the darkness.”

You’ve probably already seen these, but just in case…

Or watch bigger and better here.

1. Miles
2. Banana Pancakes (the food, not the song)
3. My wife

1. Ryan Adam’s Love is Hell (particularly the tone of the guitar solo in “Shadowlands”).
2. My wife’s voice after a long day.
3. Merton’s poetry. Never gets old.
4. Peaches in a bowl of soy milk with a little sprinkled sugar.

If you enjoy anything that is good. If you’re a fan of life….then how could you not love Ryansworth?

He’s cute, he looks like Michael Cera, and makes the best art from scratch. And art from scratch is good art.

What’s it gonna look like for me? I have no idea, but I’ll find out in 3 minutes from Wade. I’m starting full time today at Elevation. Excitement ensues.
