In the several weeks that have passed since I last wrote on our bouncing baby boy, quite a few things have transpired. The biggest of such transpirations, however, is that my clumsy left foot discovered just how horrifically evil a children’s crib can be… When my foot casually-yet-unintentionally-forcefully connected with […]

“It’s Show Time!” by John DiBiase
Recently, we ventured into dangerous, uncharted waters in our early parenthood months by experimenting with taking our darling baby boy to places where parents probably shouldn’t take a 7 and a half month old baby (right?). The first of such events was on May 7th. My wife and I really […]
“A World of Change (AKA A Trip to the Mall)” by John DiBiase
The past few weeks have certainly been a mix of crazy-busy-ness and “firsts” as a parent. Little Will has grown two teeth, had his first sips of juice from a kiddie mug, and treated his Dad’s lap like a Jumperoo while rockin’ out to music on my office stereo — […]
We Recommend: Rebecca St. James, “If I Had One Chance to Tell You Something”
With her first studio album in almost six years releasing this week, it seems only fitting to look back at the previous recordings of Rebecca St. James. While listening to her new album I Will Praise You, I found that her previous 2005 record, If I Had One Chance To Tell You Something followed […]
“I Love You, TinyLove” by John DiBiase
If there’s one thing I’m learning as a new parent, it’s the importance of good baby toys. I’m sure I’ve mentioned this toy before, but I believe it deserves its own post dedicated entirely to it’s goofy ring-shaped, floppy-eyeballed design. The “Tinylove” is a bizarro rattle that is altogether ridiculous […]
10 Years Later: Third Day, “Come Together”
Sadly, few bands can celebrate being around for 10 years let alone it being ten years since the release of their FIFTH studio album. In 2001, Third Day released Come Together, the follow-up to their first worship album, Offerings, which followed the southern flavored and folksy Time from 1999. Last year, 14 years since the national […]
“Reflections On The 2011 Dove Nominees” by John DiBiase
So yesterday, the 42nd Annual GMA Dove Award nominations were announced. (Check out the FULL List of nominees here) This marks the very first year the awards ceremony has relocated from Nashville, TN to Atlanta, GA (due to the show’s biggest sponsor – Gospel Music Channel – being based in Atlanta). My first […]
“It’s Been… Educational!” by John DiBiase
It’s been an interesting past couple of weeks as we continue to adjust to life as new parents. Or, as Marty McFly might say, “It’s been… educational!” We’ve recently had a Valentine’s Day day trip to dinner and a movie, a pediatrician check-up visit (he’s just over 16 lbs now […]
We Recommend: Between Thieves, “Between Thieves”
I’m going to go out on a limb here, as I usually do with these recommendations, and feature a little known project by a band called Between Thieves. I often find myself recommending music on here that would be deemed fairly old (maybe even out-dated), but I think part of the […]
10 Years Later: Skillet, “Alien Youth”
So, my original concept idea for this blog was to pit a release from 10 years ago with a new release from the same artist 10 years later (so, it’d be like, for example, Steven Curtis Chapman’s 2001 Declaration album versus his announced new release for sometime this year… which hopefully I’ll […]
