I haven’t written a blog in a very long time; it’s been since about February I think (yep), and it seems that my blogs are getting more and more spaced out. I talked about that the last time i wrote a blog, in fact. I’ve been thinking about it, and […]
Year: 2009
We Recommend: Grammatrain, “Lonely House”
Ah yes, grunge. The Seattle heavy rock sound made popular in the nineties by artists like Nirvana spilled over to the Christian market and Forefront Records put out Grammatrain‘s Lonely House in 1995. Sadly, the label would kind of force the band to water down their sound with their 1997 sophomore record, Flying, but Lonely […]
We Recommend: Owl City, “Ocean Eyes”
Musically, I’m a pretty easy guy to impress. There are multitudes of bands/artists that I enjoy listening to and there is a huge catalog of songs that I like. On the other hand, it’s not easy to make that impression last long. Back in late May, both Chris Sligh and […]
“The Scar” by Paige Armstrong
I have a scar. It’s ugly. It’s long. It’s on my right leg, and I will always have it. I’ve tried to hide it so many times… and I still try to. The truth is, I’m afraid. I’m afraid that people will look at me and just see my scar. […]
“A Visit To God’s ‘Twilight Zone'” by Bethany Dillon
So, I had one of those twilight zone God-moments the other day. You know, where you feel like He’s speaking something to your heart, and then someone completely out of the loop says verbatim what you’ve been hearing the Lord say… yeah. Well, let me back up… I’ve been married […]
“Walking Disaster” by Paige Armstrong
Do you ever feel like a walking disaster? Like at times everything you touch falls apart? Like you would be the richest person alive if someone gave you a nickel every time something in your life went wrong? I envision the scene from a movie where a guy is walking […]
“What do you want to do with your life?” by Paige Armstrong
Has anyone ever asked you the question, “What do you want to do with your life?” If so, chances are you: A. Confidently explained your mapped out future plans. B. Said you had some ideas, but still were figuring out the details. Or, C. FREAKKEDD OUTT, and ran. Which one sounds the most […]
We Recommend: Five Iron Frenzy, “The End Is Here”
I think I say this each time, even on things that are unrelated to Five Iron, but Five Iron Frenzy is my favorite band. And I’m super excited about the release of their DVD this winter. I know, it’s not unusual for some deranged FIF messageboard geeks to start rumors about the […]
“Skelanimals” by Scott Fryberger
Long have I been dreading the day. The day when I would discover a new trend and think, “Kids these days!” Methinks this day has come. Now, look, I’m only 25. 25 = not old. I realize that. But I just can’t help but feel that way sometimes. or at […]
“The John 15:11 Challenge” by MIKESCHAIR’s Jon Haire
“These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.” John 15:11 (NASV) I challenge you to ask yourself what does this verse mean to you? I find it interesting to take a step back and look […]
