Media Movement with a Mohawk

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. (NLV) 


So, what is it that caused me to pause, moved me this week?  Hmmm, as I pondered, thinking of this blog and its potential contents.  

Certainly, Dick Clark's passing brought back memories of mid morning Saturdays, copying the latest dance moves and listening...absorbing that LOUD NOISE better known as rock 'n roll. (I can hear my mother now, "TURN DOWN your Stereo!")

Or maybe I am inspired by Kim Kardashian's aspirations to be the mayor of Glendale, CA.

Nah.

One media mogul, one "dra-media" creation.

I watched contestant Colton Dixon on American Idol voted out last night.  Certainly one of my favorites, (actually, I think they are all great this year), Colton's reputation as an outspoken Believer got some press.  Producers of the show actually asked him to "tone it  down."

So gracious in his exit last night, we watched him give Praise to his Lord in a song written by Lifehouse called "Everything", a song he sang  a few weeks back.  Postured on his knees,  Colton worshiped his Lord, standing and lifting his hands and inserting words that emphasized his passion.

The camera panned over to the contestants still in the running. Many mouthed the same words, a corporate worship.  God's got a plan for this young man, Mohawk haircut and all.  My CD player awaits your joyful noise Colton,  and I can assure you I will be turning it up loud.

Lord, thank you for young people today who are not ashamed of the Gospel. I thank you for music and all the ways it brings beauty and healing into my life, even the loud stuff.

" Everything"

Find me here, and speak to me 

I want to feel You, I need to hear You 

You are the light that's leading me to the place 

Where I find peace again 

You are the strength that keeps me walking 

You are the hope that keeps me trusting 

You are the life to my soul 

You are my purpose 

You're everything

And how can I stand here with You 

And not be moved by You

Would You tell me how could it be any better than this?

You calm the storms and you give me rest 

You hold me in your hands 

You won't let me fall 

You steal my heart and You take my breath away 

Would You take me in, take me deeper now 

And how can I stand here with You and not be moved by You

Would you tell me how could it be any better than this 

And how can I stand here with You and not be moved by You

Would you tell me how could it be any better than this 

Cause you're all I want, you're all I need 

You're everything, everything 

You're all I want 

You're all I need 

You're everything, everything 

You're all I want 

You're all I need 

You're everything, everything 

You're all I want 

You're all I need 

Everything, everything.
