Glutton's Graffiti

Eric explains the origin of the CD's title

'Glutton's Graffiti' is a phrase in the bridge of the first song on the CD (entitled 'Poorer Than These'). I wrote the song in the aftermath of being part of a mission trip to Ghana, West Africa. That experience was transformational for me because, while ministering with the Ghanaians, I was confronted with my own poverty--a spiritual poverty in which I'm often enslaved by my own gluttony for the things that I want but don't really need.

The phrase 'Glutton's Graffiti,' then, has a double meaning. It is a reference to the CD itself, which, in a sense, is the musical graffiti of a penitent glutton. In a larger sense, 'Glutton's Graffiti' refers to the spiritual scribbling that our lives make amidst a culture that often seems to be addicted to gluttony.
