when love comes to town: A sweet picture

Ok I hope to check in with a few contacts today before tonight's final soiree - so in the mean time here's a sweet picture from our gig in Iznik. This has been an incredible trip: tons of fun, some very powerful music and a world of learning - with more to come. I am grateful to God.

WHEN LOVE COMES TO TOWN

U2 mixed the blues and the gospel - rock and roll and B. B. King - to create a genre-bending sound that honored tradition while creating something new. My sense is that the holy continues to break through our popular culture in startling but creative ways if we have eyes to see and ears to hear. John O'Donohue writes: "Beauty does not linger, it only visits. Yet beauty's visitation affects us and invites us into its rhythm, it call us to feel, think and act beautiful." More than ever before I sense that this era cries out for a spirituality of tenderness in small, real ways that touch our ordinary lives. Artist Anita Rolls gets it right with "Jesus on the Tube."
