I follow Steve McCoy’s blog.  His was one of the first I started reading and following on my journey to Reformed.  He connected me with Matt Chandler and Mark Driscoll and Tim Keller (He loves Tim Keller.)  Steve was instrumental in my faith walk.  He was also the one who pointed me to Beirut, VampireContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 73-Young Man In America”

I’m a fan of Gym Class Heroes.  I’ve already posted one song about them back in January, Stereo Hearts.  I’ve heard this song a couple of times lately on the radio, the “clean” version, that is.  I even found a “clean” version of the video, but it wasn’t the same as the official “explicit” version. Continue reading “365 Day Project-Day 72-A** Back Home”

Ok, here’s how they’re all connected…  Justin and I are Facebook friends (yeah, I’m throwing that out there again…) and he posted on FB a link to an article from the Rabbit Room’s website.  The article was about the author’s last five months spent touring with Steven Curtis Chapman (SCC).  What intrigued me about Justin’sContinue reading “Justin Taylor, the Rabbit Room and Steven Curtis Chapman”

Beautiful song that my son-in-law shared with me.   http://www.youtube.com/v/kE9uaToCzao?hl=en&hd=1&lt;\/embed><\/object><\/div>";” alt=””>

Jimmy Ellis passsed away.  One of the greats of disco, he sang this song and I remember dancing to it back in the day.  Good times…  

I heard this song yesterday.  It was the background for another video which broke my heart.  That video was about a man's love for his wife and the challenge he has undertaken in her memory.  I've posted it below as well.  Consider visiting his site, Love Lives On LLS to learn how you can help himContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 69-Halo”

In case you weren’t aware, today was International Women’s Day.  I didn’t do anything special because of it.  I did join with family to celebrate my sister’s birthday, though.  Since I’m one of four sisters who all live near one another, we gathered, along with our mother… and a niece… and a nephew’s girlfriend andContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 68-Run the World (Girls)”

A friend posted a link to an interesting overnight camp for youth that had, to me, references to Lord of the Rings.  I’ve loved the Lord of the Ring trilogy for years, having read it seven times now, with plans to re-read it; it begs re-reading.  The themes and layers throughout the story beg delvingContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 67-Days of the Ring”

I’ve been listening to Edgar Meyer and company quite a bit lately.  Love the sounds, so soothing, chillingly beautiful.  I started this year of music with a couple of songs on which he collaborated.  I have an Ipod Shuffle that I create playlists for and then take to the office to play while I’m working. Continue reading “365 Day Project-Day 66-By The River”

Friends of mine heard Elephant Revival perform at a family member’s wedding.  They told me I would love the music and when I looked the band up online, I really did fall in love with their music.  Their music encompasses Scottish/Celtic, folk, bluegrass and indie rock.  They just make me smile when I’m listening toContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 65-Ring Around The Moon”
