Testimony
There is a great new record out. I've been listening to it in the car for a few days now. It's called Testimony and it's a 2-disc solo album by Neal Morse. Neal, who sang with Spock's Beard and Transatlantic, has made quite a reputation in prog rock circles with his fine voice and songwriting. Well, he has come to the Lord in faith recently and this album is, quite simply, his testimony. So pure and refreshing to hear the joy and straight-up, "this is what happened to me" story. It's not every day that something like this happens, so this album is really something special. Musically, it's quite diverse and features lots of instruments and jamming. I'm really growing to love this album. It's amazing, but it keeps my attention for two full discs. Wow.
It feels good to be 190 pounds -- especially when I was 200 just last night at around 8 pm. A miracle diet? Not really. It's just that I drove rather swiftly to the only open Fed Ex office in the Austin, Texas area last night to overnight the materials (digital files, proofs) of the new issue of HM to our faithful printer in Midland, Michigan -- Quebecor World Pendell Printing. Ahh, nothing like that feeling of finishing so much labor.
