Fame

I'm feeling very sophisticated and connected lately.

My friend, Carolina Marrelli, is releasing her new CD on the 29th - Come Away. It's rock and it's cool and the message within and behind the music is incredible. She's gorgeous and gifted! To learn more about Carolina, go to her webiste, http://www.carolinamarrellimusic.com/. Click here to get a sneak listen to the newly released single, Facing the Giants.

On Saturday, Barry and I will be going to Carolina's CD release party. Woo-hoo, look at us! It's in the Design District in Miami, at Awarehouse. Despite all my Red Carpet glamour visions, this is a great, down-to earth, everyone-is-welcome event. Carolina is donating a portion of every CD sale to International Justice Mission - a "human rights agency that secures justice for victims of slavery, sexual exploitation and other forms of violent oppression".

I've been so impressed and moved by Carolina's radio and television appearances. Her passion for her art and social justice is contagious. The Holy Spirit's presence is this endeavor is so obvious, it's intimidating. I read a great book by Peter Kreeft, Jesus-Shock. Kreeft talks about the electrifying effect of a real encounter with Christ, and if we allow ourselves to entertain the supernatural and reach out, we too will experience this life altering "shock".

I see in Carolina the effect of Christ's powerful voltage and the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

I know some of you are non-believers - or maybe uncomfortable with the idea of spirituality - give the music a listen! It's not your "usual" Christian fare and you may hear something...well...something shocking!

Peace!
