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
(c) 2012 Ross Christopher.
 
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
