A friend of this guy that I don't know showed me this
I was visiting this guy steve's blog @ knightopia.com. He works for Billy Graham, and he's got some interesting stuff to say, but a friend of his writes music, and I found this on his blog.
"We can't live in the past. We have to write songs that raise the temperature of the room and find words for feelings you can't express. And then, as Quincy Jones says, you wait for God to walk through the door because in the end craft isn't enough."
U2's singer Bono quoted in the October 30, 2000 edition of USA Today
I, being a mere 22 and way too involved in ska and punk my whole life to have a clue who Quincy Jones is, I looked him up. He was a trumpet player in the 50s and has since worked with Miles Davis, Frank Sinatra, Little Richard and Michael Jackson. If a composer with that kind of resume can understand that in the end, craft isn't enough, when are we going to stop practicing our instruments and refuse to move until God shows up.

Good point and one worth living for. Lifting Him up is what its all about and when His prescence is felt by all it makes it all worth it. Keep up the good work and remember "Draw near to God and God will draw near to you"James 4:8
