As It Is In Heaven
Posted March 31st, 2008 by Steve ParkerThe loss of passion for something we love is a deeply disturbing journey to travel. Unfortunately, we often become burned out doing the things that are most meaningful to us so that we just can’t seem to continue any longer. As It Is in Heaven takes us on one man’s journey to recover his lost joy.
Last year, Shi-Yeon Sung became the first woman to be named assistant conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Working under the renowned James Levine, the 32-year-old South Korean is making the most of her two-year opportunity to work with some of the world’s best musicians and conductors.
In 2006, Sung won the prestigious Sir Georg Solti International Conductors’ Competition in Frankfurt, Germany – the first woman to ever take home the top prize. She was given €15,000 in prize money and concerts with the Frankfurt Museum Orchestra and the Frankfurt Radio Symphony.

Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet
in
This is one of my beloved songs. I first heard it in college thanks to a thoughtful English Literature prof. The juxtaposition of the hopeful words and the state of the singer moves me. . .to think past moments of salvation. While Jesus, by definition, cannot fail, his life force can only be represented in always flawed reality, especially humanity. Sometimes I remember that the homeless person singing this truth has been failed, not by the blood, but by the content.
