40 days of Modern Psalms & Ancient Hope

Posted by tom | Jan 6, 2009

Check this out.  I received the below email from my subscription to www.davidmbailey.com.  Great to watch a godly, passionate musician in process!

So I changed my strings and finally started to do a little picking.... grabbed the stack of new lyrics Code-named "40 days of Modern Psalms & Ancient Hope."  Day 10 floated to the top and here it is - raw and unpolished.

Cancer has returned to David Bailey

Posted by tom | Jan 5, 2009

The Rice family shared with me at Following Christ that cancer has returned to David Bailey, visit Music and Lyrics at david m. bailey: Home. I've found David's material a great encouragement not only during our family's walk with my cancer, but also through the various dark valleys our family has faced with Eden, Elise, and in the fall out of my cancer treatment (where my levels of energy and focus have varied and I've come to see myself only sustained by the grace of God the Father through His various means).*  Please join me in taking a few minutes to meditate upon some of David's 2008 Survival Lyrics and uplift him in your prayers.

Cancer, death, transition, suffering in this world

Posted by tom | Jun 24, 2006
In the coming months, we're going to take some time to look back on the experience of cancer and how it, alongside the death of baby Elise Faith, taught us to live day-by-day in Christ, dependent upon His Presence/Grace, His People, and His Word. An area of particular concern is delving into how our walk with God demands that we relate to the real world, intersect w/the suffering elements of the fallen creation. If you have thoughts on this topic, please submit so they're part of conversation.
