ok...
too many people have been asking me, "what does beep mean? is it an acronym for something else?"

all i can say to that is, Josh explains it better than me...
so ask him! it's an answer worth waiting for...

meanwhile, i've been listening to the songs that beep has been receiving.. and i've been so blessed by some of these songs. i could not help but wonder about the situations or the circumstances from which these songs were born... what was happening in the songwriter's life when he/she crafted them... what was he/she thinking about? what was he/she rejoicing about? what was he/she struggling with? how did he/she come to that revelation?

i realize that we do not give that God-inspired tune/lyric enough justice sometimes just by arranging/recording/producing it. i realize that 'amazing grace' took on a different dimension when i read about john newton's life and how God shaped him, i understood faith a little better when i read about horatio spafford and the circumstances he was in when he penned 'it is well with my soul', fanny crosby's life story opened my eyes to the 'blessed assurance' we have in Christ.. even the past week spent with the audacious band helped me understand the stories, the context and the culture from which songs like 'bounce' and 'set my feet' came out of, and for all that i'm left amazed at this awesome God we serve...

this revelation has affirmed our initial plan for a regular podcast that the beep team was planning, where we can showcase some of these local songs, interview the songwriters, find out a bit more about their lives, their inspiration, have a little fun, muck around a bit and just give a shout out to the community that is beep...

what do you guys think? something you'd tune in to??
