Inspiration Last few weeks:
Laura Marling–her voice and songwriting are inspiring.
Bob Marley– bass lines and groove
Reggae– bass lines and groove
Ben Okafor– his songwriting, his voice, his message, melodies, etc. This guy is inspiring. I need to download his albums.
Kim Walker– Youtube. Inspring for worship and voice.
Evan Wickham– Webcasts of sermons and worship. Deep Deep sermons challenging our relationship with Jesus. Worship always so inspiring.
Reggae Redemption Songs 2– Car CD player. It’s what’s on.
John 17–Started reading 1 Corinthians again, which led me to the Lord’s prayer before he went to the cross– leading me to do an indepth study on John chapter 17. I’m even getting into the greek translation. It’s pretty awesome. I found a greek translation online tool that defines every greek word. I feel like I’m in Latin class again. I like it. Greek Geek study. Anyways, the prayer Jesus prays to the father before he goes the cross (Not “our father….” The other one) is totally intense, full of theology, unity, love, oneness, Jesus’ desires equating with the fathers, relationship, and so much more. It’s so deep. I need to just blog about it instead of talking about it.
Grace and Justin and Karis– Took Grace’s maternity photos a couple weeks ago. Last Friday she had a baby girl (Karis). I’m stoked to go and visit them.
Dancing– Went to homeland lastnight with the kids. Saw some old friends. My son and I made a cypher in the corner and we took turns dancing. Stephen is such a natural dancer. I, myself, am inspired by his imagination, improvisation, his spunk and boldness. I really want to help develop his love for dance. I’m hoping to get back into dancing, but just me– my whole family.
Ben Okafor’s video “Wise One’s”. I can watch this over and over. LoFi, but not cheesy. Instead, an instant classic.
