Seeking Inspiration

-
I know that it is important to take time to seek inspiration. I was able to wake up early this morning, and I now have time -- time to search, ponder and pray. The result of this three-part process is that ideas will start flowing from above to answer questions and resolve difficulties in my personal, family, work, and Church responsibilites.

How Sacred Youth Music Has Changed — And Why EFY 1999 Still Reaches My Soul Note: these are my thoughts, but ChatGPT has modified some of the language and format  I started my mission in 2000, and even though I never owned the EFY 1999 album A Season for Courage , those songs are burned into my memory. They must have been passed around on the mission, copied, shared, played in apartments and mission cars, because every track feels strangely familiar — like an old friend I didn’t realize I’d missed. Listening again 25 years later, one thing stood out immediately: compared to today’s Strive to Be music, the songs of that era were more subtle, more tender, more metaphorical.
