I found this video and was really struck by it. Mainly because of the boldness of Brian McLaren, and also because I agree with everything in it. This goes along with what I shared on Monday, that music is dangerous and sweeps us away in happy emotions. In case you can’t watch the video, here … Read more
Music is passionate. It reaches to the depths of a person’s soul. More can be said through music than through mere words alone. Music speaks to people in ways that words or actions never could. Music is powerful. It makes us relive certain moments in our lives, brings back memories that have laid dormant. It … Read more
