Rockin' Christmas...More Than Appropriate

i went to see/hear trans-siberian orchestra with melise on sunday. it was amazing! granted there was a ton of hair flinging in every direction, but the power in the blend of metal and classical was pretty appropriate for the meaning of christmas.

here's what i mean...

our true heart's story began in absolute glory and wonder. a perfect intimacy and adventure with the trinity. it was the fullest of life that we were designed for. but our story's villain, satan, began to hate god...and hate everything that god loved...and launched a war against the hearts of men and women...to rob god of everything that reflected his glory. our once mighty world became a broken place filled with pain, disease, abuse, passivity... but, because the trinity's love is full of such wondrous desire...god could not leave us stranded. under the cover of night, with the open heart of girl and the protection of her husband, god was able to sneak into the enemy's kingdom...as a baby.

it was the beginning of the end...an arrow shot towards victory.

so, here's the crazy hair-flinger's version of some christmas music. i hope it is as powerful for you...maybe crank it up. ;)
