About this Blog

I oftentimes find myself feeling as if I am drowning in a sea of brokenness. Financial strains, familial tensions, and the like, oftentimes distract me from who I am in Christ, and furthermore, what I am called to do as His servant. Scripture repeatedly teaches that a part of my calling is to offer up my body as a living sacrifice, and this includes giving thanks for the blessings in my life to the loving God who bestows them. My life needs to be one of joy, one that actively pursues beauty and appreciates all things, even those that are commonly overlooked.
With this blog, I hope to take myself and anyone who reads it on a journey in which each and every day I find something to do, or see, or make that is beautiful and can be deeply appreciated. Then, I will give the beauty I find as an offering of praise and thanks to the Lord by writing about it here on this blog. Check back each day for a new post! I hope that what you read here will inspire you to appreciate life more and actively pursue the beauty that surrounds you, even in the midst of brokenness.

Beautiful Music

A couple of nights ago, I watched a fantastic movie called "The Brothers Bloom". It is such a great movie, and I highly recommend it for everyone in the world to watch...right now. :)

One of the best things about this movie is the soundtrack. The music is so beautiful! It cuts at your heart. It makes you smile. It makes you want to cry. I've been listening to it all weekend, and it hasn't gotten old.

One of my favorite songs is titled Penelope's Theme, and it's just so darn beautiful. If someone were to write a song that describes me, I would want them to be inspired by this song.

The piece starts with just a piano. A consistent bass line. A jumping melody. Then enter the strings. Beautiful harmonies abound. Amazingly complex yet so beautifully simple. Just like Penelope.

This soundtrack makes me sway. It causes me to move with the rhythms. But not too much, since I'm sitting in a Starbucks right now as I write this and listen to the soundtrack. That would just be embarrassing.

God is a being of beauty. Music is a reflection of His goodness and absolute beauty.


Listen to this song. I mean, please, listen to this song. :)

I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do.
