Psalter Live - Behind the Scenes

Back in July of this year we drove up to Sydney to do some live recordings with a String Quartet (string arrangement by Daniel Brinsmead). Psalter has put up a new video online showing some behind the scenes rehearsals. Also featured in the video is Anna Weatherup. We look forward to when the final cut airs on Hope Channel (not sure on air date yet).

What I'm listening to: 'Music inspired by The Story'

Today I stumbled across a stunning music project. It's called 'Music inspired by The Story'. It's a project which draws together 18 stories, sung by 24 artists, from Genesis to Revelation that show God's story of love and redemption. How beautiful is that! Take a listen to what has become a quick favourite sung by Francesca Battistelli:

Some of the artists involved are Chris Tomlin, Mark Hall, Nicole Nordeman, Francesca Battistelli, Brandon Heath, and Jeremy Camp.

Brisbane x2

I can't believe there's only three more months until the end of 2011! Wasn't it just the other day when I was mixing up '10 with '11! This year has been a mixed bag of blessings which included the last two weekends, both of which saw us heading up to Brisbane. We welcomed the sun on our faces with a smile and realised that our clothing choices were a little too Melbourne-like. The first weekend was a whirlwind of fun catchups and singing God's praises at SQLD big camp. The second a fast blink-and-you'll-miss-it trip to Mount Gravatt with a packed day of getting to know some awesome new people, fantastic food (thanks Chrystal & David!), singing, and sharing our testimonies and God's Word. As I'm sitting here in our living room in Melbourne I think we brought a little of QLD sun back with us. Loving it!
