OLIVE BRANCH

Olive Branch

(c) 2012 Ross Christopher.

When all seemed forgotten

Your goodness reminds

That peace will reign

Like a child's smile 

The land shows its face

From an ocean of grace

And light and love

Gives the olive branch

Days and days and days we wait

For your promise - like a child

She's cut from the world

The peace, it came crying

My olive branch

The land shows its face

From an ocean of grace

And light and love

Gives the olive branch

She smiles to say, "peace

I love you so much in the world"

DEBATE #3 [RECAP]

Last night I watched the debate with the St. Louis Cardinals game on mute in the background (so forgive me that my attention was split).  Here's my takeaway…

1. BOTH candidates are aggressive
2. BOTH candidates want more drone attacks
3. BOTH candidates see a future Chinese-aggression
4. BOTH candidates believe that Jewish-life is more valuable than Arab-life, and will stop at nothing to preserve this belief
5. BOTH candidates want a bigger military
6. BOTH candidates believe that America's role in the world is to "bring" freedom (even if that means launching #1-5)


So who are you going to vote for?

Peace,
Ross

Stretching Lines

While on tour, I had lots of time to do some writing.  Over the next couple weeks, I'm going to share some of those poems/songs that are currently in the arsenal...

Stretching Lines

Stretching lines

That connect earth to sky

The perfect dance that's hovering

Of clouds and suns and crashing waves

Stretching lines between

Sketching city scapes

Souls fill the horizon

With a hopeful stir

They dance in spaces

And connect in sacred places

The garden's filled with rows

These stretching lines

Bringing life and feed

And hope to need

Tour #1 (rehearsal)

Yesterday we headed to Chicago to rehearse the set for the Sleeping at Last & Jars of Clay tour.  We spent a solid 2 hours bringing beautiful songs to life...I'm stoked!

This morning we loaded up the trailer and van and hit the road.  Nine hours later we're in Pittsburgh.  We just checked into the Marriott, and tomorrow morning we have seven more hours to Virgina Beach...

Peace,
Ross
