| I just read an article
by S.F. Chronicle columnist Mark Morford, and it's really quite amazing
to see a columnist simultaneously extol a profound truth about God and
totally negate that truth in the same piece. Because as much as he

one single-minded purpose. Imagine then, creating an experience
that touches people and relates to them in their individuality. How do
you reconcile and unite all of their different experiences throughout
their lives? How can any prayer, or sermon, or one song speak to the
numerous victories and defeats that people have every day? In fact, how
can any multitude of songs speak to these things? To call it
"challenging" would be an understatement -- "impossible" is a more
adequate word; at least when we do things on our own terms, with our
own strengths. Read More... | | |
