Ouch...that's loud!

I love commercials...when I was 17 I was going to take Madison Avenue by storm! I wanted to produce, write and develop ad campaigns that would have people buzzing.
Since the Olympics started, Audi has this beautiful commercial that builds and builds both in style and in decibels. At least on my TV it does, I had to shout across the room to say something. Wow though, to have so much confidence in your product, to feel that your product is so much better than everyone else that the producers of that ad campaign felt they had the right to invade into our hearing.

Since we have satellite television, we do not watch local networks but the one available from NYC. Every night I have to sit and watch the commercial for a gospel concert. The intro has you witnessing the performers preparing, sweating and the maestro raising his baton in triumph. Oh how I wished we lived near a city sometimes!

So where is this going? A prayer.
To have the confidence of Audi.
To have the faith and trust in God to sweat it out for him.
To have this rising crescendo in life until the baton is raised in triumph over my life and praises sung!

Favorite commercial of all time: beer commercial

Domino effect of people collapsing one on top of each other until the line reaches its' destination. It marveled me then and still does in my mind, what can I say, it was wonderfully done. Different races, different social circles...one after another tumbling, laying gently on top of another and another until the desires of one are met. Somewhere in that an analogy can be made...but I dare not. Someday!!!
Amen!
