The impact God has planned for us doesn't occur when we're pursuing impact. It occurs when we're pursuing God. - Phil Vischer

Thanks for coming! And, I have to make another movie, now.

I'll very often just start humming my way through a scene. Say, OK the tempo should be about like this, it should pause here, it should pick up here. And very often I'll make up a little melody just to do that. About half of the little melodies in the score for Jonah are those little melodies that I made up just to use to kind of pace a scene and then we got kind of attached to them.
