My Legacy

Something about seeing a video of Rich Mullins play the hammer dulcimer out in the streets of Columbia amongst a large group of kids has inspired me to use my own talents and tools to leave a legacy of my own behind. Rich Mullins was this awesome Christian musician and singer. Some people may not think he was the most talented or the best-sounding musician there ever was--although I do think so--but either way he was awesome not because of his soul-stirring music or his entertainingly funny stories, but because of his faith. In the end, that's the legacy that Rich Mullins left behind. His music lives on forever in his CDs and DVDs, yes, but it's his faith that is everlasting and so impressionable. Fifty years from now, when I am 75, I may or may not remember all the words to the song Creed. But I will always and forever remember the love of God I saw in Rich Mullins' eyes in his videos, and the sound of total reverance in his voice when he whispered softly "God is an awesome God", and the sincere smiles he gave each and every child whose path he crossed. And all of that came of his faith. His music, of course, is what led me and many other fans of his to him. But once we got to him, and paid attention to him, all we saw was his faith. Incredible faith. Very few people in this world today have that much faith, although all people are capable of it. Rich made that kind of faith seem more obtainable. God tells us in His Word that we all are capable of mountain-moving faith, but sometimes it takes actually seeing someone here on earth achieving that kind of incredible faith to inspire the rest of us.

"There are songs that you make and there are songs that make you. I think we sometimes forget what a great heritage we, the church, have musically and how many great songs have already been written. And when you think about the music we already have in the church, it doesn't make sense anybody would be writing these days. But I don't think you write, I don't think you preach, I don't think you do anything because people need you to do it as much as because you need to do it yourself. God sends you to do it and so you do what you can and then God uses it as He wills." -- Rich Mullins

I am creating this website because God has sent me to do it. I need it for myself, but I pray that God uses it to encourage and inspire others, as well. So far, this website is not so much of a collection of my own works as it is a collection of works of other Christians whom I have learned from. This could one day change as I mature into a more steadfast Christian.

On the back of the DVD Rich Mullins: Pursuit of a Legacy, "Liturgy" is defined as "our service of worship to the living Christ". In this small space of the World Wide Web, I attempt to bring myself and the readers of these pages into a Liturgy of our own.
