According to the papers today (I hope you've been following), two of the Korean missionary hostages have been killed. Let's keep praying for them. Many non-Christians in my country feel that the missionaries have themselves to blame for putting themselves in danger. Let's pray that the whole world will see that these people are being Christ-like in risking their very lives to love the unreached. It is not because Christians are silly, but because God so loves the world!

Here's a superb song by Planetshakers, from their Saviour of the World album. I think one great MTV for this song (animation perhaps) would be to start with the temptation of Jesus in the desert, with Him defeating satan. The animation then moves to a young man struggling in the face of temptation, just when 'my hope is in you' comes on, and emerging victorious at 'give me your power'. Any animators interested? :D



You might notice a black wire right behind my left hand - I recorded this while listening to myself on (my new Westone UM1) in-ears.. you can pretty much pick up lots of your little nuances, and your tone really goes right into your head. Helps quite abit with your playing, try playing with earphones/headphones as an exercise!

Note that you have to use drop D tuning for this song - tune the lowest E string to a D note.
