life is beautiful...

Going from Nashville to Ryan and Sarah's wedding rehearsal back in South Bend gave me much to give thanks for today. Here's a short video of Ryan sharing his heartfelt thanks (and priceless surprise gift to Sarah!) at their dinner. Their sincere and true joy is so inspiring to me!!



My heart is with Danielle in Nashville as she finishes up the recording tonight. There is so much to share, so here's a start. This video is of her sharing for the first time with Scott, Ken, Matt and Jeff the song that is in a lot of ways the heart of the new cd. What was amazing to me was how this one song really set the tone for the whole recording. These musicians are as faith-filled and compassionate as they are talented, and I truly believe that these men were led to this project for a reason. Something really special happened in the studio this week, and it was amazing to have witnessed it. There is no place in the world I would have rather been this week.





PS. For all the ND fans out there (especially dad and mrs. rizzi) here's a picture of Ryan's groomsmen in their new ND jerseys commemorating the big day (7-21-07). What a perfect idea Ryan and Sarah!!!!
