Not about Luke

So, since this blog has been pretty much all about Luke recently, and sometimes his sisters, thought I should warn you that this post isn't really about the kids.

This week I finally got around converting 6 cd's of the Psalms to mp3. It's this really great recording my Mike Kellogg (Moody radio) but when I pulled it to MP3, the track names were not found, so I had Unknown artist, Unknown Album, Track 1, Track 2...track 37, so when I got to work, I decided to fix that. I opened up the properties window and had to fill out the properties for the mp3. Okay, Artist. I was floored.

It seemed too amazing to me to put "God" as the artist... but it was right. Sure, David may have been the composer and Mike Kellogg was the one reading it, but "artist" on audio books is the author, right? It made me realize that the God of the universe wrote a book, wanted to express a message to the people He created and I even had the opportunity to hear God's Word spoken. It is an amazing thing. And best of all, God's Word is living and active, which means it is a message for me today just as much as it was to David 3000 years ago. I listened to the Psalms all the way home as I biked through the woods and they never looked so good.

I also have to give thanks to Matthew Westerholm (Friend from church and author of retro-evangelical.blogspot.com) who through that blog introduced me to Bob Kauflin's work and in his 75min interview (link) his discussion of the Psalms- to realize that Jesus is the only one who can say so many of the Psalms in the entirely. So prophetic. So relevant. So alive. Check it out. (link)
