For Extraordinarily Brilliant Daughter #3

No color reaches deeper than your blue.
When impossibly delicate eyes opened that first day,
We knew.
And in the wonder of that moment,
Our Creator again showed His love.
The color is eternal,
The color runs deep,
And the color is yours.
You are eternal, daughter.
Always run deep.
We are so incredibly proud to be yours.

I Believe in the Sun

I believe in the sun, even when it is not shining,
I believe in love, even when I am lonely
I believe in love, even when feeling it not
I believe in God, even when He is silent
I believe through any trial there is always a way.

Courtney is part of Southeastern University's Concert Choir and performed this evening along with about a hundred of her music major peers. At one point they sang Johnathan Adams', I Believe in the Sun. The whole concert was fantastic, but this piece was especially wonderful.

My music tastes are eclectic, and tend more towards the modern, but these one-hundred young Christians used their God-given gifts to praise our Creator and with those same voices created images and evoked an emotional response I had not anticipated. As the song developed, I simply found myself transported.

I Believe in the Sun is playing right now as you read this blog.....I hope you enjoy it.
