I'm usually on the tail end of "new music" that's out - on mainstream radio. I've been loving that song "Apologize" - remix version from "Timbaland." It's on iTunes - but check out the group that actually wrote and originally performed the song - OneRepublic. They have a song on their album called "Prodigal." Here's the lyrics. I wonder if they meant to shine the Gospel so clearly:We say good-bye I turn my back Run away, run away So predictable Not far from here You see me crack Like a bone, like a bone I'm so breakable And I take…

I haven't been blogging much lately, but have also been in the middle of the seasonal marathon, which ends early this year, due to a bizarre spring equinox and a moon phase schedule. Anyway, we're doing some new music lately in church, which led me to realize that I haven't updated our music list lately - so here's the new stuff, on top of the old stuff.NEW - Steve Fee:Glorious OneAll Because of JesusNEW - Vicky Beeching:The Wonder of the CrossGreat is Your GloryKeith Getty and Stuart Townend:The Power of the CrossIn Christ AloneBrenton Brown:Everlasting GodDave Lubben:Lay it DownRonnie Freeman:NEW…

We're sitting around the dinner table last night, discussing school, and our days, etc. Drake has been listening to his mom's rehearsal CD, and there's a song called "The Real Jesus," by downhere. Mandy says - Drake, tell dad what the song means. Drake says - "Dad - it's someone that wants to be born again, he ASKING for someone to show him who Jesus really is." I told him "great answer," to which he responds "yeah, and I didn't even need help."

of watching American Idol. And it's only been on twice. Good grief.

Just in time for Christmas - I'm releasing the last two seasonal programs that we've done, on CD. And they're great! Last year's Christmas program - "Do You Know Him" and this year's Palm Sunday program - "The Revelation Song," are going to be available at the welcome desk starting this Sunday.

This year, Palm Sunday and Easter border our spring break, so we're planning a "not really Palm Sunday Spectacular Spectacular," for March 9. Yes. March 9. That Sunday also has the added bonus of being "Spring Forward" Sunday for Daylight Savings Time.So I thought it might benefit Mom and the 4 others that read this to know WHY Easter is so early this year (March 23). Easter falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon that follows the first day of Spring (in the Northern Hemisphere). Clear?So - mom, and the 4 others, please tell the choir that…

I think it's a dare. I took my TV apart. Really wasn't that hard.I think the warning labels are there to prompt you to spend $160/hour and an $80 service call fee to get the Samsung guy to replace your color wheel.Got it put back together, and no spare parts leftover.

it's just that I intentionally avoided ever touching an iPhone. Until this guy - let's call him "Bob" got one. And he let me see it, and then I had to have one. And it is quite possibly the coolest piece of technology that I've ever had/used - and I've used some pretty cool technology.From a phone standpoint, I have improved reception in my office and home (still have the same wireless service). From a technology standpoint - it's like having my Mac on my hip. Email is seamless, safari is fast, and it connects to wi-fi networks.
