memorial day monday music

i always thought this song was a beautiful, tragic tribute to all those who have lost their lives in combat, although this song is specifically about vietnam. today’s selection is goodnight saigon by billy joel. don’t forget the reason why you get to take the day off and grill out and get slosh [...]

wednesday worship

happy wednesday, everybody. (it seems that there are only five of you, and four out of five of you stay updated through a feed reader…see here if you wonder what in the world i’m talking about…) a new feature of wednesday worship posts will be the previous sunday’s set list. on sunday, [...]

shadow proves the sunshine

a good friend of mine is experiencing his own personal hell right now. his wife is in the hospital, after suffering from what they think was multiple strokes. a few of us went to visit the two of them at riverside hospital in columbus this afternoon, and it’s hard to describe the feelings [...]

hug a tree

today is earth day. refill that water bottle instead of throwing it out and opening a new one. turn off that light as you exit the room. shut off that water while you brush your teeth. turn down that thermostat a couple degrees.
earth day is a day when people all over [...]

tim reynolds is my man crush

over christmas i came into possession of a new live recording of dave matthews and tim reynolds at radio city music hall. it’s pretty nice. i’m not the biggest dave fan, but i enjoy a dose here and there. the highlight of the album for me, though, is a solo track by [...]

i feel a change is comin…

a change will do you good… here are ten changes that are happening (or at that i’m considering making happen) with me right now:
1) God is doing some things right now in my life that just don’t seem to make any sense. He’s changing some things up on me. (or maybe he’s [...]

i’m beginning this post at exactly 12:34 in the afternoon. now i’m not superstitious (although i am a little stitious), but i’m pretty sure that means this post will be the most successful in a while. possibly my best ever. watch out.
to call this the song of the week would be to [...]

it’s called nostalgia

this week’s song is very late, buddy… i’m back up here in ohio again. for a wedding again. drove up with my friend brad again. it’s a very similar trip, buddy… another similarity is that i’ve been real busy, and so the song of the week has been pushed to [...]

wait for it…wait for it…

i was recently introduced to the michael gungor band by my friend seth, the worship leader at fusion church. I’ve been listening to their latest cd all I need is here, and it’s not bad. it’s got its high points and its low points, but I found a bright spot at the end [...]

satellites coming down…

counting crows is a band that i can really get down to. i like very much to listening them some songs. this week’s song of the week is called recovering the satellites off their album of the same name. probably my favorite song by this band, the musical movement is beautiful, and [...]
