For some reason, I’m one of those people who like it when the calendar says something more. Earlier this year we had 07/08/09. Seven, Eight, Nine. That’s fun! Every year there’s one day where the day, month, and year all match… And today is that day! :-) Hope you have a great 09/09/09! If you’re…
[Song For The Day] Come As You Are
Come As You Are Purchase @ iTunes Song (at Amazon) | Album Come As You Are Today’s song – the final song in this 7-day celebration of the 7-year anniversary of the album – is the title track, Come As You Are. If you have been following along all week, you may see the reason…
[Song For The Day] You Love Me
Come As You Are Purchase @ iTunesSong | Album You Love MeToday’s song probably doesn’t get played very often. It’s not a “radio length” song. (It’s around six minutes long.) It’s near the end of the album, and we don’t do it that often when we perform live. But in our recent listen to the…
Right Idea, But Still Scary
If you don’t have time to watch this whole thing, then watch the last 10 seconds or so. But be warned, out of context it will just be scary. Very scary. Very “Un-American”. Problem is, if you watch the rest (minus a few other wacky moments) you’ll see again what I was talking about yesterday….
[Song For The Day] What I’m Askin’ For
Come As You Are Purchase @ iTunesSong | Album What I’m Askin’ For Today’s song is one of my favorites both because of what it says and how it musically says it. The song is very sad sounding in parts, lamenting. But in the angst of that lament, the truth of God’s unchanging love for…
Anchor Bar: Now in Rochester!
The famous Anchor Bar (the originator of the Buffalo Chicken Wing) is now a franchise? Just heard it reported that the restaurant is opening a new location here in Rochester! Sadly, even though I am famous for my own wings, and love to eat good wings by the dozen… I’ve never had Anchor Bar’s wings……
Listen. Just Listen.
One last thing to say in the arena of politics today. For a while now I have been really bothered by the way political discussions are so heavily slanted in one direction or another. The same issue can be discussed by either “side” of an issue using almost exactly the same terms but applied equally…
Is Barack Obama in the Right Place?
I mentioned in my previous post that one of my “qualities” is that I can truly give people the benefit of the doubt. I presume the best of intentions from everyone (perhaps because I know my heart, and I only have the best of intentions for everyone I know – and don’t know – around…
Obama’s Civilian National Security Force
I’ve heard this audio clip a few times, so I looked it up and found this YouTube clip. What is he talking about? Seriously? Isn’t our military the most well-funded in the world? First, where will he get the money to equal or best that funding for a “civilian national security force” (there are some…
[Song For The Day] Hide
Come As You Are Purchase @ iTunesSong | Album HideToday’s song is one of the most rockin’ tunes we’ve ever recorded. (Though some on our Christmas album do rival Hide’s rockin-ness…) The idea behind the song comes from several places in scripture, but one that sticks out in my head is Hebrews 4, where it…
