Light Echo

I feel as if I owe an explantion of the title of my blog. Its actually not an original title at all but comes from the name of the worship band I played with. We had battled with a name for a few months and couldn't ever seem to find the right one. We actually went and played at a church before we had a name. The church we played at had assembled a program that they sent out to other churches inviting them to the youth night. On the program read music by Meridian Praise Band and others. I guess you figured out who the "others" were. For a while after that we named ourselves The Other Guys, but to our sad realization....someone had already claimed that title. So we thought about it and thought about it. A few weeks later we found out we were asked to be entertainment at our local Relay for Life. The crunch was on. We had a little while to think about it but nobody wants to be listed in the news paper as the others! Ha! I was invited to a bon fire at Nathan's house. By the way...Nathan was our lead guitarist. It was late and we were sitting around the bon fire throwing around ideas for names. We all agreed that the name didn't need to be dorky or give the wrong impression and we wanted it to be able to be backed by scripture. After all our heart was to do Christ's will. In a quiet moment, someone asked the question if anyone knew what the name of the light around the stars was. Nobody seemed to know so out of curiosity, we pulled out the smart phone and googled it. Bet you can't figure out the name!! It was actually some long scientific term but it was simplified to "light echo". We all had the same idea as soon as we saw it. It was perfect. From that point on, we were officially "Light Echo". That was also perfect because that could be taken back to scripture. If Jesus is the Light, then aren't we supposed to try and be like Him? There you have it....Light Echo.
