I'm going to say a bit more about the WIC conference shortly when I've thought & prayed a bit more. But for now, if you're Christmas shopping, this young and talented little band from Covenant College is a great find. They became a band during Hurriane Ivan, when a Sovereign lack of electricity brought them out of their mountain dorm rooms and into the Lobby, where they started playing together.
At the conference they played a number of the best hymns ever (What Wondrous Love is This, Oh the Deep Deep Love of Jesus, I'll Fly Away, Amazing Love) with a Scottish/Celtic/Appalachian sound--so beautiful, and so Presbyterian. It was easy to picture our faith's fathers singing these hymns under the elm trees where they once had to meet for church in the Old Country. Matt Brown's voice is reminiscent either of a masculine Enya or a fugitive from Toad the Wet Sprocket--windy and clear and full of light.
The cutest thing was watching the PCA ladies grab for their cd's! I have to admit, I was one of them.
