God often passes over the person with grand, me-focused plans in favor of the own who has a heart to love others, to trust Him, and to do the small things for their own sake. Here are the things I highlighted as I read: “Start Here” is great how-to guide and how to overcome obstacles and offers many practical suggestions on what to do – taking the first step, putting an idea into actin, handling change, keeping God in focus, perseverance, moving against the crowd, and how to finish strong. As teenagers began to break free of these low expectations and began to “Do Hard Things”, they faced a variety of obstacles and had trouble knowing where to start. It tried to explain to teens, particularly Christian teens, how society had come to expect so little of them, but when we look to history, and looked to what God has called them to be, that they are able to break this self-fulfilling prophecy of low expections. “Do Hard Things” described a teenage rebellion against low expectations.
This article appears in print with the headline “Sooner and Later.“Start Here” is the follow-up on “Do Hard Things”, which Alex and Brett Harris released in 2008.
Tickets are $8-$10, the show starts at 8 p.m.
That’s perfect, really, since it’s historically taken Harris a while to get around to the next one.īrett Harris appears Friday, March 4 at Cat’s Cradle Back Room in Carrboro. This is a dreamily good record that you want to play all the way through, perhaps even again immediately. These are minor quibbles on an album with manifold standouts. Occasionally the rhyme schemes are predictable, and by the penultimate “Shade Tree,” despite its charms, you may detect one Beatle-esque descending progression too many. Still, tunes that feature his voice up frontlike the languid Muscle Shoals gospel-soul of “High Times” or the charming title trackoffer the greatest evidence of his distinctiveness. In covering such vast stylistic ground, Harris shows a willingness to submerge the grain of his voice in service of the song.
