The beginnings

This clip was taken during a spring evening thunderstorm in my living room among my dearest of friends and my wife. This event has been a strong reference point in my heart for this project.

The evening began with dinner and great conversation with friends. Friends that we have shared our lives with over the past 8 years. After dinner we all sat down in the living room and welcomed in a good ole Oklahoma spring storm. We opened all the doors and windows, turned off all the lights, and lit some candles. Something inspired me to offer to play some of the music I had been writing. It was most likely my good friend Cameron who has always had a way of calling me out to pursue my giftings. Anyhow, I got my laptop, plugged a few things in to an amplifier, and played. Afterward we all sat quietly for a long time, with out feeling the need to talk or move on. We just took it all in. The dinner, the conversation, the storm, the music, the life we were all sharing.

It changed me.
