Anyone who knows me knows I’m pretty picky about worship music. This isn’t anything I’m proud of at all, of course, especially since it makes it very, very difficult to find worship music I can turn off critical ears toward and worship my Savior with. Part of it may be […]

“Learning to Walk” by John DiBiase
It’s been several weeks since I last wrote about our adventures in parenting, but it’s really been just several weeks of a waiting game: when will the little beastie learn to walk? While we wait for Will to take the leap of faith, so to speak, it’s still pretty amusing […]
We Recommend: Jars of Clay, “More Christmas Songs EP”
In 2007, Jars of Clay released an impressive modern Christmas record with a classic feel, titled Christmas Songs. As someone who was weaned on the kind of Christmas music my parents grew up on, I’m a sucker for any new Christmas music that even has a hint of what resembles real “Christmas music” […]
“Full-Contact Birthday Cake” by John DiBiase
So, this past Saturday, we celebrated our little guy’s very first birthday! (well….. technically, last year was his “birth day”… but he would have died if we tried to give him birthday cake as soon as he emerged into the world) On his actual day, we gave the little guy […]
“Babies and Hotels Don’t Mix” by John DiBiase
It’s been awhile since my last entry, but that doesn’t mean there haven’t been several new adventures for us. First, Amy and I finally got away for a weekend this month to Orlando. I mixed business with vacation, but it worked well to get us some time to just “us” […]
We Recommend: Blindside, “About A Burning Fire”
Ah, Blindside. These Swedish hard rockers arrested my attention in 2002 with the release of Silence. That album was an intriguing mix of hardcore elements with a melodic rock sound. While it may still be one of my favorites by the band, their follow-up About A Burning Fire further developed the sound they […]
“I Hate (Most) Talking Childrens Toys” by John DiBiase
One thing I’ve noticed as my 10 month old is growing is just how obnoxious his toys can be. Of course, I’m not saying the toys themselves have their own pesky attitude (That would be silly, wouldn’t it?). However, the voices recorded for the children are some of the most […]
We Recommend: Ivoryline, “Vessels”
Among the musical surprises of 2010 was the sophomore release from Tooth & Nail Records rock band, Ivoryline. While their debut album There Came A Lion was an admirable debut, it didn’t quite leave the impression that Vessels does. Some records impress at first listen while others slowly grow on you with each following listen. […]
“We Have a Crawler!” by John DiBiase
Now that our little guy is over nine and a half months old, it seems some of my initial shock is wearing off. Sure, it’s still a big life change to be lugging around a mini-human (and diaper bags), dealing with fussy fits (although, thankfully, those have lessened), and not […]
We Recommend: David Crowder Band, “Church Music”
Anyone who’s been reading JFH faithfully for a number of years has probably noticed that I’m picky when it comes to worship music. I’m not proud of it, because I find it very difficult to find worship music that I enjoy listening to AND that can spark my heart to […]
