Thoughts on Andrew Peterson
If you’ve read this blog much at all, or if you’ve known me over the past 7ish years, you’ve probably heard me say something about the music of Andrew Peterson.
Andrew has a lot going on these days. He’s recording a new album (”Resurrection Letters”), releasing a children’s Christmas book, releasing another book that I don’t know a whole lot about, getting his songs sung by vegetables, and gearing up for his annual (awesome) “Behold the Lamb” Christmas tour.
Earlier this week I was reading Andy’s blog when I came across a paragraph that really stood out. I read it about 5 times. I think that it (other than being very well written) really shows Andy’s heart. Here’s the quote:
What a gift it is to tell the old, old story. Listening to these resurrection letters, seeing the pictures in the book, traveling the country to sing these songs–these are reminders to me that our God is a good king, and that I am most unworthy to be in his kingdom. My sonship is a gift of the highest order, and it is a fine thing to live in light of it.
I don’t want to wear out the name, and I don’t want to preach to the choir (because I know many readers here are also fans of Andy’s music). I want to make sure that if you’ve heard me rave about this guy and have never taken the time to get to know Andy or his music, you really should. I’ll loan my music collection out to anybody who wants to hear it. Just ask.

Oh, and props to your for recognizing such goodness. It shows you have awesome taste. (Surely you have known me long enough that you didn’t believe the part about one word, did you?)
