phone book
Ever have one of those days/weeks/months/years when you have no inspiration? I have been feeling rather dull and mediocre lately. Forgetful and distracted, too. I had no ideas for a creative project and the only thing I could come up with was page after page about how uninspired I was. It was all sad and mildly self-indulgent. Finally, I set down my pen and listened, and I heard God remind me that the whole earth is filled with his glory, even if I don't see it or feel it. It just is.
You know how people say that someone is so talented that they can read the phone book and it's exciting? Well, I thought about that for a bit and realised that the phone book is indeed magnificent! It is filled with the names of people who carry God's glory! Nothing is too mundane to be exempt from the glory of God! So, I got excited about doing a phone book project. It's not really a worship song (though you can get your own phone directory and try it if you want), but more of an invitation to open our eyes and minds and hearts and find God close by...just where he always was.
Thanks to Dean for magnificent magic in the audio engineering department. I hope that my friends and random strangers don't mind lending their face for a brief second to illustrate the glory of God. Enjoy!
