Grown men playing with sock puppets... life's little pleasures

I will never fully understand the innovative / comedy mind of my husband.  There is an aspect of the surreal and absurd that tickles him and often takes me by surprise.  I love it.  He, Tom and Jim were set the challenge of coming up with a way to let people know that the Push Community album 'Everybody' was out and after a little arts and craft and a lot of laughter this was the result... 3 men, 2 sock puppets and 1 album...

I kind of love it.  There's a nostalgia and honesty to the humble sock puppet :)  Find out more about the Push Community worship and creative collective and get their first album on iTunes or Bandcamp.

What's all the fuss about?

 

Friday night was the culmination of weeks, nay months, of prayer and preparation.  The Push Community, our recent labour of love, said a big hello to the world as the website went live and we worshipped with friends.  I spent a lot of my free time last week collaborating with Steve in editing the above video for the launch.  Check it out.  (No serious - stop reading and press play; my limited video editing ability meant hours of work!)

The first song from this worship and song-writing collective is available to stream for free on the site and will be available to download from iTunes this week.  It's called "God you are good" and I've had it pretty much on repeat all weekend.  Sophia who wrote it has been leading me in worship through my iPhone headphones.  It's gorgeous and only beaten in my estimation by her most recently finished song 'Jesus you're more'. It gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it.  I think it'll be released some time in the near future.  

I'm always proud of my lovely husband, but Friday I was particularly glowing.  The Push Community is about everything Steve was made for - worship, developing/investing in/loving people and pushing creativity in music.  He's already given so much in time, skill and energy into this community, it's amazing to start to see the fruit.
