]]>CLANCYhttp://fiveletters.net/words/2011/11/14/clancy.htmlJ&L2011-11-14T15:42:11Z2011-11-14T15:42:11ZMiriam Clancy is a super talented rock chick friend from New Zealand. I think I have known her for 16 years. She is visiting Nashville on her way to NYC to record her next album. Her and her lovely husband are travelling with their THREE young boys in an old school GMC motor home/bus. WOW. Now that is commitment to the ROCK. Blessings to you Clancy crew!

Check out her music. It is sublime. Her vocals and lyrics are rockin and soft and eerily, powerfully beautiful all at once.

Of course we had to do a little photo shoot while she was here- For when we do our duets record one day and go on the road as 'Clancy and Clark'.

It was fun and a little nerve wracking on my part. I wanted to do a good job for them and get some great creative shots. I think we managed a few. Here's a few of my favourites, and there are a bunch more on our Facebook page too.

He makes me lie down in green pastures, (the 'makes me' has always fascinated me...esp as i never have to be made to lie down-it is one of my fav things to do)
He leads me beside quiet waters, (yes)
He refreshes my soul. (aahhhh)
He guides me along the right paths for His name's sake. (i like that...it's for His glory, not just for my benefit)

Even though I walk through the darkest valley, (i have had my fair share of dark valley days)
I will fear no evil,
for You are with me
Your rod and your staff comfort me. (You are the God of comfort)
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies (can you imagine...a feast of all your fav things being laid out in style while the enemy can only watch from afar)
You annoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows (its true, beautiful husband, 2 beautiful children, health, shelter, vision for the future)
Surely Your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life, (let it be)
And i will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever
(amen, and cant wait)

I have to say I'm not thrilled about it. I was tossing and turning all night, haunted by the omnipresent blue box with the white f that now graces every page of our website.
Apart from a brief stint in 2007 when my Oliver was a baby, I have kept away from facebook, thinking of it as the nefarious black hole of procrastination and vanity. But here we go, fueled by the need for business and traffic in this dire economy. So if it does bring in business, like half of the world seems to think it will, then kudos to you Mr Zuckerberg, but if not, we are deleting that puppy.

We fly out this evening. Just enough time for a couple more flat whites, and a farewell walk in beautiful Titirangi. We love you NZ!

]]>Beautiful New Zealand (again)http://fiveletters.net/words/2011/6/17/beautiful-new-zealand-again.htmlJ&L2011-06-17T18:10:03Z2011-06-17T18:10:03ZWe are back in New Zealand for 3 weeks of work, playing at some churches, concerts and conferences. It is such a treat to be back twice in one year, and see this beautiful land again, not to mention our family and dear friends. NZ is such an amazing country. So rugged, so complex, so diverse. It is kinda 'rough around the edges', which is a feast for the eyes after the straight lines of Franklin, TN. We love and miss this place.

the coffee is incredible

I guess we miss the food, because I keep taking photos of it.
fish 'n chips- classic.

Our prayers and thoughts are with our friends and family there.

God Defend New Zealand.

]]>Happy New Yearhttp://fiveletters.net/words/2011/1/16/happy-new-year.htmlJ&L2011-01-16T23:12:14Z2011-01-16T23:12:14ZWe just got back from an amazing 3 weeks in New Zealand. What an incredible country. Had we forgotten? Had we blocked it out? I don't know, but we were blown away by its rugged beauty: the breath-taking landscapes, the glorious weather, the untouched beaches. It was hard to say goodbye.
But we are looking forward to getting stuck into 2011, keep this business rolling, and see what the Lord has in store.
May your 2011 be bright.
