My Dad has always been a real lover of music, so for his Birthday I thought it would be cool to invite The Lower Lights to come surprise him with a private concert in my parents backyard. We invited family & some close friends for the occasion. The weather was perfect & the music incredible.
The Lower Lights is a group of local musicians who got together & did sort of a hymnal revival recording of some really great hymns both old & new. Their spirits & testimonies came through in their music and I know everyone was moved. I think what they are doing is significant & needed, especially for the rising generation.
I get so worried about raising kids in a world full of easily accessible evil. When I think about the approach I want to take with my kids to combat it I think about all the good & beauty in the world too. Rather then frequently talking to them about what they can't or shouldn't do, it seems to me that a more powerful approach may be to expose them to as much good, truth, & beauty that I can fit in. It doesn't hurt to reinvent those old beautiful truths once in awhile either. Here is The Lower Lights playing one of my favorite songs.
