Pride in friends
I have friends. I know, weird. KIDDING. They are fantastic people, or I wouldn’t want to spend time with them, now would I?
Something I love about getting older is that my friends keep impressing me with the culmination of all of our years of talking and pondering and mind-changing and you name it, presenting itself as beautiful and creative projects. One such example is Wondrous Machine, a Christian music project by my lovely friends Anne & Joel, who also merged together to make this adorable culmination of ideas and talking and you name it: 
Now, I’m not Christian, but they are. And they, being the musically inclined cuties that they are, decided they wanted to make Christian songs that were accessible to children. So they cut up some cardboard and painted it, strapped on those fake guitars and jumped around in front of a camera or two, making this video:

Being proud of their accomplishment, they’ve decided to take this seriously and pursue it full-time, hunting down producers, and Christian TV people, and distributors for their DVD and I couldn’t be more proud of them. They’re working on some secular songs now, promoting healthy eating and appreciation for your parents for having made said food for you and toothbrushing and I don’t know what else they told me, but I back it.
Anne & Joel, I am proud of you guys for chasing your dream, and frankly, I think it’s a great one. I think this is a good idea on which you’ve fallen, and I am grateful that I have friends who are inspired, and in turn, inspire me.
