People sometimes ask me why I write the songs I do. My answer is that love has always forced my hand to go where I haven’t wanted to go.
This week I witnessed somebody being crushed by life, who was still contending for their friendship with God. I knew I was witnessing...

a burning bush, a true miracle. As far as faith goes I will tell you I don’t really know much about the type that is supposed to move mountains. I have asked God for too many things that he was not responsive to. I am less than an amateur.

So the only play left in my playbook is love. Sorrow has seemed constant and impossible and I haven’t been able to keep it at bay with faith. But because the troubles have been many I have become a student of love. I am learning how to breathe again...

because I trust that love is what makes us “cast down but not destroyed”. I guess I do have faith in something and it goes like this: in the world you will have many troubles but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world”.
