Nothing too exciting to report today... Just a couple more hours of vocals with a focus on the mid-range parts. I've still got 3 or 4 songs to go with these parts, then we start tackling the high-range parts which should nicely trash my voice! After that, I'll sing some background vocals and we'll lay down the keyboard parts for all the songs.
We're going to take tomorrow (Sunday) off. It'll be nice to relax for the afternoon by putting together a trampoline we just bought for the kids and doing some reading. "Mere Christianity" is that book for me right now - the one that's hard to finish because it's so intensely profound. I simply can't read half the book in one sitting because my mind is still trying to process something I read 2 chapters ago. C.S. Lewis has a unique ability to reveal the glory that lies in the most well-known aspects of Christian theology that we often grow numb to. Here's the highlight from my most recent reading...
On the whole, God's love for us is a much safer subject to think about than our love for Him. Nobody can always have devout feelings: and even if we could, feelings are not what God principally cares about. Christian Love, either towards God or towards man, is an affair of the will. If we are trying to do His will we are obeying the commandment, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God." He will give us feelings of love if He pleases. We cannot create them for ourselves, and we must not demand them as a right. But the great thing to remember is that, though our feelings come and go, His love for us does not. It is not wearied by our sins, or our indifference; and, therefore, it is quite relentless in its determination that we shall be cured of those sins, at whatever the cost to us, at whatever the cost to Him.
