Josiah, my oldest boy of three years, was almost potty trained. But we were leaving chick-fil-a the other day and he started whining as he reached behind himself to grab his hiney. i know that reach. i recognize those eyes. I’m familiar with that vein in the forehead. so we […]

“With love to our Warriors” by Jarrod Jones
To our Veterans… Thank you for your sacrifice to preserve our freedoms and protect our families, friends, indeed all Americans. May the Lord shine His joy upon you this day as we give thanks for you. Pearl Harbor survivor Houston James of Dallas embraced Marine Staff Sgt. Mark Graunke Jr. […]
We Recommend: Switchfoot, “The Legend Of Chin”
So it probably seems strange that so far all five of these “We Recommend” blogs go back at least several years, with four of them taking us back to the 90’s. The reasoning for this is that most current music is what gets the most focus as new tunes are […]
“AIRPORT ANGER FANTASIES and UMPIRE JESUS” by Jarrod Jones
I was at the airport counter a few months ago. As usual I arrived 3 hours early (I’m anal like that). There was a line of 25 people checking in at the Kiosk (an electronic personal check-in hickamadooger that looks like an ATM machine). A school sports team of some […]
“Why I don’t listen to my radio” by Adam Dawson
It’s a sad fact, but it’s true: 75% of the time, my local Christian radio station never plays anything I consider “good”. In a way, it’s a bit of a breath of fresh air when they spin Switchfoot or Sanctus Real, but most of the time it’s the same old […]
We Recommend: Newsboys, “Take Me To Your Leader”
For our fourth “We Recommend” Blog, we’re going back to February, 2006, with Newsboys’ , Take Me To Your Leader. I’ll never forget picking up this record on release day, sitting on my bed and listening to it for the first time. A solid record from beginning to end, Take Me To Your […]
“I can’t believe you voted for…” by Wavorly’s Matt Lott
Well…it’s been a little bit since i blogged last. we’re currently on tour with our best buds in The Wedding and A Current Affair out west. we’re just three bands out here doing our part to rock some faces and win the west like they used to back in the […]
“Street Sex” by Jarrod Jones
I was cutting the grass a couple of summers ago and got the scare of my life. at the time the yard of my house looked like a swamp area. my shrubs looked like they had afros. my oldest son was two years old at the time (he’s four now). […]
We Recommend: Rock N Roll Worship Circus, “The Listening EP”
For our third “We Recommend” Blog, we have Rock N Roll Worship Circus’ (now The Listening) with their 2004 EP, The Listening. This EP was the beginning of the transitions from the Rock N Roll Worship Circus to their current state as “The Listening.” It was an amazing metamorphosis. A dark but hopeful and […]
We Recommend: Skillet, “Skillet”
Many probably don’t realize Skillet has been around since 1996 (the same year JFH came into existence, actually!), and I have fond memories of listening to this record a lot when it released. They were just a three-piece then and several years would still go by before frontman John Cooper’s keyboard playing […]
