6th Installment of Scoring Shorts!
Really enjoyed writing this one and trying my hand at string arrangements. Thanks to Phil Glenn for the incredible strings.

Was watching the sunset tonight and thought I overheard a nearby child say:
"give back the sunrise"

When rehearsing, I'll often pick a song and arrange it. I thought it would be fun to share one I worked on last week. The song is Draw Me Close.
Thanks to Maddie, Bridget and my niece Adele for the background art!

Dear @X, please stop showing me posts that start with "bro is" or "bro does" or "bro doesn't even know" or start with "bro" in general. Thank you

"Most modern scientists pride themselves on having purged themselves of thoughts of mystery and magic, while unwittingly using theories that are as mystical as they are scientific. Newton, believing that the world is full of magic, found that it is full of magic"
From @MitchOStokes biography of Isaac Newton

God’s love and Spirit are at work in our losses and gains, defeats and victories, interruptions and setbacks, endings and losses. He is bringing something new in all of it.
Classical art says "The sculpture is already complete within the marble block, before I start my work. It is already there, I just have to chisel away the superfluous material."
Modern art be like, "Nah, the block is good. Hold on, it needs some notches and a piece of metal"

Been reading #FearAndTrembling by #SorenKierkegaard and was struck by this quote:
For he who always hopes for the best becomes old, deceived by life. And he who is always prepared for the worst becomes old prematurely. But he who has faith remains eternal youth.

Still having a hard time accepting that flat screens are now the junky TVs people leave on the sidewalk

Discovered the extent of my nerdiness today. While working I found myself looking up how to write/spell one-to-one

May we rest in the fact that our faith is in God’s relentless pursuit of us, not our up-and-down pursuit of Him. Oh, the depth of the riches of His love, mercy, and kindness!
Still can't get enough of this piece (maybe peace)

There is less than a week till Jesus's crucifixion in John 12:20-36. A crowd is gathered around Jesus listening to him speak. He's talking about his coming death when a "voice from heaven" confirms his identity. (V 28-29) During this the crowd asks Jesus "how the son of man can die" and "who is the son of man." (V 34) Not bad questions, but at the same time very practical.
Jesus answers by redirecting the question. He says he will not be with them much longer (crucifixion) and reminds them to walk/dwell with him. (V 35-36)
First, the idea of answering a crowd of people by side stepping their question and addressing the real/important reality happening is so direct/bold. I'd imagine, at the very least, the crowd was confused and possibly even perturbed.
Secondly, it's such a striking insight into how Jesus responds/answers questions. I'm constantly asking those practical questions! Often I'm confused by the simplicity of dwelling with Jesus as an answer. At the same time that redirection to dwell with Jesus is often all that's needed.
