Neat the way the world works sometimes...

Summer 2006 - flew on an airplane that was essentially on it's way to Philadelphia from Tulsa, Oklahoma with a connecting flight in Cleveland. On this flight, I sat next to a fellow named Phil Wickham, and came to find out he was/is a worship artist (I don't recall exactly, but I think we struck up a conversation because I had out a book that was by a Christian author. It's always nice when you find out your sitting by a fellow Christian on an airplane, or wherever for that matter). We chatted for a while, God knows if I remember what all about, but it wasn't until years later that I heard his name when some of us on the worship team at my old church were talking about worship music and somebody mentioned his name, and that she LOVED his worship music. I remembered his name because "Wickham" makes me think of wicker furniture or the wick of a candle (Surprisingly, it did not make me think of the famous Austen "Pride and Prejudice" villain :)

All that to say, today I downloaded my first Phil Wickham worship song on itunes, and it's good stuff. So, if you enjoy good worship, check out Mr. Wickham.

You're Beautiful Song
