last year i was real lame at keeping my promise to upload a new christmas song for each day of advent…totally inconsistent, and pretty inconsiderate in my choices, as well…not thinking of you, the reader.
in order to make up for that, i’m going to take ten christmas music surveys. one every day from now [...]
i haven’t given you photo archive entry in a while. here’s a good one.
when i was at fusion church, we did a series called “drought” that paralleled spiritual dryness with the drastic lack of precipitation we had in georgia at the time. when we were planning it, pastor tony kept saying, “i want [...]

this tune was the free track on itunes a few weeks ago, so some of you may have already heard it. i give you carol of the bells by a group called the bird and the bee. it’s a little bit hard to mess up the [...]
