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 […]
We Recommend: Jars Of Clay, “The Long Fall Back To Earth”
This Spring, one of CCM’s staple acts, Jars Of Clay, released one of their strongest albums yet, the epicly titled The Long Fall Back To Earth. Over this past weekend, I caught the band’s live performance at Disney’s “Night Of Joy” festival and the foursome put on a great mix of old […]
“Attack of the EP!” by John DiBiase
It’s kind of funny. As I sit here reading over staff reviews for the latest EP releases, it reminds me just how many dang EP’s are being released these days (Roger’s going to eat this blog up!)! I know that the music industry is in a weird state right now – and […]
