Hello! Hello! I’ll be back home in Paris in less than two weeks! Because I’ll be taking you along — it’s fun to remember that this newsletter launched in Paris in 2021 and that we’ve been back there together a few times since — I thought you might want to get into the mood ahead of time. Of course, you could pull out your beret. Learn a new way to knot a scarf.

Welcome back to this issue of our newsletter. We continue our series on music by considering God’s creative activity. This topic thrills me, and I hope it helps you as well. Let’s begin with Genesis chapter one. We start at the very beginning—a very good place to start. Verse one famously opens, “In the beginning God created the heavens in the earth.” Verse two describes creation with two very important terms which serve as the table of contents for the remainder of the chapter.
This machine kills fascists. Those were the words scrawled on Woody Guthrie's guitar, but the same proclamation could just as fittingly have been etched into the microphone of Bill Hicks, the Houston-raised comedian who was on a mission to expose repression, hypocrisy, and greed through humor until he succumbed to pancreatic cancer in February 1994.
