The Latest From WIND

WIND

Nori Kelley / Barbie Kelley / Doug Sturgill

And
Joe Pfau

The latest musical offering from the band, Wind, is a must have if you are tired of the churned-out, vanilla music that falls under the limited name of Contemporary Christian Music. Like a good friend of mine, David Finlayson, I've always hated that label. In fact I'm not to fond of any music labels. Stephen Chapman, formerly of the group DOGWOOD, use to refer to his music as "Journey Music". It was simply the songs that God gave him as Stephen lived and walked out each day.

It has been the greatest pleasure of mine to watch and listen as Nori Kelley has grown and matured as a musician, producer and song writer. Been doing so for about 34 years and I guessed you could say that I am a bit jaded when it comes to writing about Nori and the band WIND. Speaking on the band, each member is an accomplished musician in their own right. But WIND is the perfect vehicle where the sum is greater than the parts. WIND is like a glove that God puts on to make music......and what music does God make.

Beginning with Spring Rain, continuing through Storm, WIND's current album, Wave, opens with the sound of nature. Your senses are greeted with a night symphony of nature. Cricket's, peepers, and the sound of flowing water greet you with an invitation to come on a journey. Then as if to highlight the song, an Irish Whistle draws you in. The lilting sound carries with it emotion, not mournful, but rather like a promise yet to be fulfilled. Come and see what is around the next bend. Come and follow the river and let it take you away. The river gets to define the song. It has already plotted the course and is there to transport you. Your job? To listen with your spirit, and not just your ears.

Songs on the new Cd include:

Day River

I Forgive Them

I'm In Love With You

All Around The World

Crazy Love

Here We Go Again

Life Is Mine

Floydian Slip

Infinite

All The Day Long

Resolution

My Shepherd

Bonus Track

The Good Old Way

You can purchase downloads of WAVE at www.windmusic.us

I promise....
You won't be disappointed in the latest musical offering from WIND.

God on you....

Looking At The World Through Cracked Lens

As ol' Paul wrote in his Corinthian letters.."We see in part and we know in part." Now what piece of this bit of wisdom do we not get? I wish to not run around acting and trying to be some sort of Biblical G00-Ru (I meant to spell it wrong). Or a sage of sages.

I simply want to be able to communicate some of what God has given to me. Why? Do I think what I get is better than what you may have received from Him? Nope. But I do think encouragement comes when we share our daily story of struggle and victory in an effort to encourage each other.

Thanks for letting me share.

Time to soldier on..

Our Statement of Faith

We believe that God is the eternal king. He is an infinite, unchangeable Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, goodness, justice, power and love. From all eternity He exists as the One Living and True God in three persons of one substance, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit equal in power and glory. we believe that God created mankind in His image, male and female, for relationship with Himself and to govern the earth. Under the temptation of Satan, our original parents fell from grace, bringing sin, sickness and God's judgment of death to the earth. Through the fall, Satan and his demonic hosts gained access to God's good creation. Creation now experiences the consequences and effects of Adam's original sin. Human beings are born into sin, subject to God's judgment of death and captive to Satan's kingdom of darkness. We believe that Jesus, God's Son, was sent to this world, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin, Mary, fully God and fully man in one person. He is humanity as God intended us to be. Jesus was anointed as God's Messiah and empowered by the Holy Spirit, ushering in God's kingdom reign on earth, overpowering the reign of Satan by resisting temptation, preaching the good news of salvation, healing the sick, casting out demons and raising the dead. Jesus' atoning death on the cross took God's judgment for sin which we deserved as law-breakers. Jesus' resurrection and ascent back to heaven opened the door for those who received salvation to begin a relationship with God.

Little Nets Into Deep Waters

Fishing nets were designed for one purpose only. To catch fish. Nets are no good if they stay on the boat. Nets serve no purpose if they are never used. I think maybe God sees us this way. We are all created for a purpose (by the way, the creator gets to define what our purpose is). Any other use besides the one we were created for does us no good. But when the creator places His hands upon us, casting us out into those scary, dark places with deep waters, it is then we can see the reality of our purpose. He knew there would be a catch waiting for us. I think I will be the net God has called me to be.

The Twelve Steps

As a community of people in recovery, we affirm that our higher power is Jesus Christ. He did for us what we could not do for ourselves. Just as God told the children of Israel He was going to give them a promised land, He has revealed to us that He desires to give us a "Promised Life." When Israel got to the promised land, God instructed them to go and in a possess it, fight for it and claim it. In recovery, the 12 Steps are the directions given to us on how to fight, possess and claim this promised life.
