song mean writing
God gave music the power to carry his light into the darkness. That’s a mighty privilege. It means intentionally telling stories and writing songs that bear truth that outlasts the songs themselves. If I did this in hopes of thunderous applause and piles of cash, I would have quit years ago. But there are moments on the stage when I sense something magical, a connection with the band and the audience, when our stories intersect and suddenly we’re wading in an ancient river. Suddenly the song is secondary to the greater story being told through each of us.
dark voice giving
The gospel gives me hope, and hope is not a language the dark voices understand.
summer heart sky
A thing resounds when it rings true, Ringing all the bells inside of you, Like a golden sky on a summer eve Your heart is tugging at your sleeve, And you cannot say why... There must be more
use want telling-the-truth
I want to use my gifts to tell the truth, and to tell it as beautifully as I can.
mother song children
The burden God places on each of us is to become who we are meant to be. We are most fully ourselves when Christ most fully lives in us and through us. The mother shines brightest with her child in her arms, the father when he forgives his wandering son, and the artist when he or she is drawing attention to grace, by showing the pinprick of light overcoming the darkness in the painting, or the story, or the song. The world knows darkness. Christ came into the world to show us light. I have seen it, have been blinded by it, invaded by it. I will tell its story.

You can really get into it - especially in the movies, where you really have the time to get into your character and play her well.
character play knowing
I just love to act. I like to get away, totally play a different character, someone you can get really involved in knowing. I've gotten really involved in some characters and written down little summaries of where they live and what their families are like.
years hard-life life-learning
It is funny you know, you spend 12 years of your life learning about things and about life, but they never really tell you how hard life really is.

You not only have to know your own instrument, you must know the others and how to back them up at all times. That's jazz.
ball discussed good impatient job kids played reverse run third
I thought we were really impatient in the first half; (Raymond) was zoning up and we wanted to get the ball to the baseline and reverse it. We didn't do a good job of that. When we did run it, we scored. At halftime, we discussed it and the kids responded. We played pretty well in the third quarter.
