there was something about it that just felt "right" but i couldn't quite place what it was, besides the obvious need for aid for the people of haiti.
i think the idea of musicians involved in the effort is such a picture of redemption. the idea of music stepping into the immense pain of this destruction is such an illustration of common grace. God is working to restore His creation and uses Hollywood to do it. i love it.
the whole thing was made better because you have to be a quality musician to participate in something like that, sans crazy effects. just music and hope. certainly the people of haiti need more than some famous people playing music, but i think they need music too. we all need music when we see such intense pain and tragedy. my heart is heavy for the people of haiti and all the work ahead. but i am grateful for these bits of hope.....

I LOVE that Justin Timberlake video. I didn't realize he could play piano like that. What a good moment for him to whip out his talent for a good cause.
ReplyDeleteMy heart breaks for Haiti too. I've contemplated leaving everything behind to go serve there.
