Last night Sheryl and I got to do something really cool. There's a violinist who is pretty popular in other circles (she does stuff at Crystal Cathedral, with Benny Hinn, and plays to 10s of thousands in Europe). She did a worship record with the Prague National Symphony (Eric Wyse is producing). David Thornton, Sheryl and I got to add vocals to the record last night. It was a long night, but amazing. The orchestrations are unreal. Parts of it sounded like John Williams. At one point during Here I Am to Worship, the oboe cried in this beautiful woodwind sound. Hearing songs like that one along with In Christ Alone, All Creatures of Our God and King, Praise to the Lord the Almighty, etc just made my spirit stir. 5 1/2 hours of singing over beautiful symphonic sounds...such a wonderful, wonderful treat!

There's a reason to celebrate today! I found out last night that the Playground CD is doing really well! It's the #2 overall seller in Parable bookstores and #1 as far as recordings. YEA!! Click here to order your copy Online ordering of Playground CD

One last funny today...Vicki Atnip, our good friend and also fellow Otter staff member, told me that she was really into watching LOST this season. She said, and I quote, "It's the first reality TV show I've ever watched!"

That's so Vicki!! I never wonder where Logan gets it. I looked for you last night, now I know why I couldn't find you. Glad it was such a neat experience.

Uhmm, Brandon, in case you were not aware of this: musical instruments are of the devil. It says so in the Bible.

Jealous of your experience. You know I would have LOVED that!

Thanks for the Vicki Atnip quote. Made my day.

I pray God continues to use your gifts to glorify and lift Him up. You bless so many of us. I sometimes wonder if you really know how much!?
Speaking of blessing me....When will my new Zoe CD start blessing me by arriving in the mail!?

Lisa, I've found Parable to do this before. I also ordered it for $2.97, which ROCKS!

They give special purchase prices when items first hit their shelves to boost word-of-mouth sales and then they'll raise the price when they sell so many.

it's actually wrong on the web site. I found out today. It should be 2.97 for another month and then the price goes up. Not sure if there's a toll free number, but that might be the way to go. Sorry for the inconvenience. :)

Thomas...thanks for spelling out the joke part. Freak. When are we having coffee at Sam and ZOE's?
