An Epiphany of Sorts . . . UL with Matt Maher & Audrey Assad

Matt Maher, Janenne, & Audrey Assad

Audrey singing "Restless"

There are times in your life that seem to be thresholds that you are walking through.  This week I experienced two of them; epiphanies if you will.  God showing off in a good way! I was asked to give a talk on Happiness to UL Wisdom students.  I titled it . . . "Happiness Revealed".
 A kindred spirit emailed me a phenomenal TED talk titled "Gratitude" which spurred the thought of what I wanted to talk about.   Interesting . . . two days later I was approached to give a talk on Happiness.  And so I did.  I ended my discussion with the Ted Talk .  It was a great night filled with college students.  Who could ask for a better crowd to engage with!

The other was to photograph two musicians who are high on my list when I think of talent and ability to reach into the hearts of man and transform them thru song.   Matt Maher and Audrey Assad have the ability to do just that.  Audrey has a new album coming out on Feb 14 . . . Valentine's Day.   She sang one that had me wanting more!  If her album is anything like the one track she sang it will be well worth the investment.     Hats off to UL for bringing them in.   I was on cloud 9 walking backstage to document the event.  I'm always amazed & grateful where He allows me to go.

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.  It turns what we have into enough, and more.  It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity.  It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.  Gratitude makes sense of our past,  brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."
