In The Round

I recently got the opportunity to go down to Nashville to visit a good friend and catch a concert by an amazing singer-songwriter, Andrew Peterson. It was his annual Christmas tour, Behold The Lamb Of God, and I had wanted to go for a long time. The concert was incredible and one of the coolest parts was that while the second half of the show was the story of the birth of Jesus told uninterrupted in song, the first half consisted of the whole bunch of musicians playing "in the round." I think that was the first time I heard that term, but it makes sense. Most of the musicians got up and did a little solo ditty-sometimes backed up by a couple of the others and then it was passed on to the next. I think it's a really cool idea of a way to do a concert--It sounds like it's one of those typical Nashvagan things. Here's an attempt at doing the same thing without the melody. I asked a few people who've been involved with QuarterLife to share a couple thoughts whether it's something that they've been learning lately or what feels like the theme for their life. Hopefully what you see is a bit of a snapshot into the life or heart of a young adult.

I'm posting each of these as separate blogs because I think they're worthy of more conversation and are clearly independent of one another. Comment and let us know if you've experienced these aspects of life similarly or differently.
