Brainstorm

Last night was the Brainstorm fundraising concert for B.R.A.I.N. featuring David Klinkenberg.  It is such a worthy cause, being able to provide a community and residential housing care for the brain injured.   It is neat also that this brings awareness of the needs of those who have sufferred brain injuries while in the military.  

Sue Reub and the organization did such a great job organizing the event.   I do pray God's blessings for this organization, that it will be a ministry to those who have suffered brain injury, as well as to their families.   I do see God's working in the Reub family to bring them to this point in which they are able to help others through what they have suffered through their own experience with Kristin.

As always, I also enjoyed hearing David play the fiddle.  He mentioned that he is planning to have another album out, with patriotic songs.  His rendition of the Star Spangled Banner during the concert was stirring.   But, the piece I enjoyed the most was when he played "As the Deer".   It is, of course, one of my favorite worship songs; and it made me wonder if he is drawn to the song for the same reasons that I am - that besides the beautiful melody and words, the story behind it is meaningful to me and one that I could relate to.
