A COOL TITLE
"A young, talented guitarist had recently joined my home
church. Shortly thereafter he was promptly recruited by one of
our members to join the praise band.Asked why he joined the church,
the young musician replied,
'Because I think God is cool'.
Spoken with sincerity, the vernacular made a lasting impression.
Jazz music is often described as "cool", and as God
infused a love of jazz in me, "God is Cool" represents
musical praise to the infinite, loving God who created the universe."...
