Modern Christian Music is something I enjoy listening to and allows me an opportunity to worship our Lord in the music and the words. I have enjoyed a couple of phrases from various songs and the words for a complete song. (Note: I grew up with albums. So in my lingo artists produce albums, not CDs. How is that for being old?)
The bolded, italicized phrase below is a prayer for myself and every Christian for every day.
Echoing Angels, Album “You Alone”
Song – Let Go
Chorus: Let go. Live for the moment. Reach out. That’s how you show it. Live because you care. Be an answered prayer.
I was swimming laps with Carol the other day and when I was in the deep end heading back for the shallow end this phrase below came to mind. “Deep water faith in the shallow end”
This may not be what the song writer was saying, but my thought was, in my life I spend too much time in the shallow end where it is easy to stand up when I get tired. In the deep end I can not stand up, but must trust my ability to stay a float. In life we need to get out of the shallow end of living a life which is safe and non-adventurous but must get into the deep end which is not safe and is full of adventure, where we must trust His ability to keep us.
Casting Crowns – Album “The Altar and the Door”
Song – Somewhere in the Middle
“Deep water faith in the shallow end”

Thanks for singing. I really enjoy reading your blog. You're helping to keep me afloat. KCCK.
I want to swim in the deep water with you. Literally and figuratively. How about setting some time aside for me the first week in January?
Love you!
