I think I've given up on titling blogs. I can never think of anything that great. Besides, I barely blog anyway.

Sometimes I ask others if they think they're as inadequate as I believe I am.

Usually, they do. Why is that? Some would say humility; but is it really humility if you don't believe there's something to be humble about? Or do I/you/we set our standards so high that they're nearly unattainable? There are so many people that are better than me. More well-versed, rehearsed, and well... just plain better. It's intimidating, yet... inspiring.

I've been trying to find my niches as of late. How do I best minister to people? What style of music it what I'm "good at?" What's the best way for me impact lives? At what point do they affect me more than I them? The list is much longer, I'll spare your eyes (and my fingers).

I've been reading a lot of C.S. Lewis again. I used to think he was overrated. Not anymore. So good. So, so good.

I was introduced to Newton Faulkner. The guy is amazing, and (I think) has one of the top albums in the UK right now. It was one of the coolest, most fluid performances I've seen in a long time. He played an incredible acoustic version of Massive Attack's "Teardrop" that was just jaw-dropping. It was a privilege to see him play. The next time he's stateside... go see him. It's worth it. If you don't think so, I'll buy your ticket... barring I have the money to do so.
