| Behind The Scenes: Eye2Sky Eye2Sky has been in the studio recording new songs for their album. The release date is yet to be announced, but we do know that a few of the new songs are different than anything Eye2Sky has ever done before. Once the CD is out, we would love to have your feedback. And if you want Eye2Sky for your special event or Church event, then you better schedule them soon. Because Eye2Sky’s schedule is filling up quickly for the spring and summer. Eye2Sky would love to play for everyone’s events, but for the members health and sanity, they try not to schedule performances more than twice or three times a weekend. And scheduling Eye2Sky at least two weeks in advance is appreciated. Last minute scheduling sometimes does not work, because of members job schedules, but Eye2Sky will try their best to play for you in a pinch… |
| Being In The Presence Of God (Excerpt from “Mere Christianity” by C. S. Lewis) “Whenever we find that our religious life is making us feel that we are good---above all, that we are better than someone else---I think we may be sure that we are being acted on, not by God, but by the devil. The real test, of being in the presence of God ,is that you either forget about yourself altogether or see yourself as a small, dirty object. It is better to forget about yourself altogether.” To forget one-self is a hard thing to do. We all like to focus on ourselves. What shall “I” do today? What shall “I” wear? What do “I” want for breakfast? Before we know it, the I’s consume most of our thoughts and actions. If we continue to let the I’s lead, |
| we very slowly begin to think that I comes before THEM, and THEY, and OTHERS. We begin to think that I AM the only one who matters, and I AM better than others. Thinking, in this manner, puts us below everyone else. The adversary, satan, wants us to be selfish and to think only of ourselves. Those who dwell on themselves are miserable people. They are never happy. True happiness comes from caring for others and serving God. When we finally give ourselves away, there is enough room for the presence of God to dwell within us. Before, it was to crowded with ME, MYSELF and I. When, in the presence of God, let us remember from where we came and were we would be going |
| if not for Jesus Blood. That should keep us humble. Love, Eye2Sky |
| Israel Tour November 2010 Eye2Sky just recently returned from a tour of the Holy Land. They were the pre-show for the drama/dance production of “Redeemed: The Story of Ruth, Naomi and Boaz.” A play written by Sabrina Grey and directed by Eye2Sky member, Adra V. Cooper. The band played a total of six performances in Israel, including: Tiberius Bethlehem Arad Tel Aviv And 2xs on the outskirts of Tel Aviv… It was a wonderful trip, but also a very tiring one. Since band members and actors had to carry around instruments, speakers, costumes, props, backdrops, etc. Also the music and production had to change to suit the audience for which it was played. In Bethlehem and Tel Aviv, the audiences were unbelievers, and had to be strictly Old Testament. In Bethlehem, they could use Jesus’ name, but no |
| references to Israel or Judaism, because they were performing for an Arab girls school. In Tiberius, it was a messianic community, so they could use Jesus’ name. The penalty for proselytizing children in Israel is that you can be arrested and thrown in jail, so the group was careful not to use the wrong production on certain audiences. They thank the Lord, that no one was arrested and that each group they performed for loved the music and the production. Eye2Sky was also privileged to sing with a group of Christian college students from California on Ben Yehuda., a public street outside of Jerusalem. Could they have been arrested for singing Jesus name on a public street? Yes, but God was with them and they were able to sing their song, “Jesus, King of Glory” on Ben Yehuda Street. Below are pictures from this amazing journey. And if you ever have a chance to go to Israel, do not hesitate. It is really the adventure of a lifetime! Visit the Holy Land! |
