i posted not long ago on a musician named derek webb and how one of the songs on his latest album "the ringing bell" impacted me, and two nights ago journey, the college ministry i lead worship for, was able to persuade derek to use one of his days off from touring to join us in worship. his show was amazing. he just brought his twelve-string taylor and his voice and blew us all away. his heart for the world and his views on living a life of discipleship are the kinds of things this world needs to hear more of.
a funny side note: katie and i have decided to use another one of his songs from the new album called "i want to marry you all over again" as the recessional for our wedding coming up in march. our reason behind choosing this catchy tune is a line from the first verse that says, "i want to marry you all over again, i want to meet you and i want to be friends, i want to chase you all the way to tennessee..." as katie more or less chased me here to tennessee we thought it would be fitting. well, before derek's show at journey the other night, the college pastor was having dinner with him and told him about our story; during his first set he decided to dedicate that song to us and played it for everyone...it was hilarious, and now that song will be forever embedded into katie's and my anthology of memorable songs from our relationship.
