I ran across this documentary of William Fitzsimmons a few days ago entitled “Finding Home,” which documents his most recent tour. If you love William Fitzsimmons, you’ll enjoy watching it.
If you’ve never heard of William Fitzsimmons, trust me, you’ll love William Fitzsimmons.
Anyway, give it a watch if you like good songwriting and great music.
A month or so ago I ran across a song by John Mark McMillan, listened to it, and loved what I heard. Anyway, one of the songs off his last record is called “How He Loves.” John actually breaks down while singing the song at the end of the recording. It’s very beautiful; give it a listen.

A few days ago, John posted a video explaining what the song is all about. It’s worth watching.
I found this video today over on Balmorhea’sMySpace page and thought it was pretty cool. If you like neo-classical music with an experimental edge, then you’ll probably like Balmorhea. If you’re not sure, give them a listen. Listening to them makes me feel like i’m in some sort of movie set in an old west Texas town. It’s beautiful stuff.
“Three passions, simple but overwhelming have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge and unbearable pity for the suffering of humankind.”
For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. (Romans 14:8, ESV)
