Music Tuesday - Passion: God of this City

-
I love the Passion albums and this one is no exception. I don't know what it is, but Tomlin, Crowder and the gang seem to have their pulse on the heart of God and the heart of the Church. So far, here are the songs I'm really enjoying...

God of This City - the title track brings so much hope. It makes me want to get together all of the churches in our area and remind them that God is still at work and He has plans for us.

O For A Thousand Tongues to Sing - David Crowder brings the old and makes it new again. He adds a great refrain to this majestic Hymn...
So come on and sing out
Let our anthem grow loud
There is one great love... Jesus

Hosanna - So far this is my favorite song on the album. I heard it from Hillsong United, and Brooke Fraser does such a great job on this song. But I must say that Christy Nockels is incredible and this song fits her well. The bridge on this song is amazing...
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks yours
Everything I am for your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity

You can hear Brooke Fraser's version on youtube, or just click below...



Sing, Sing, Sing - Just an absolutely fun song. My favorite part is when the build comes and Tomlin says "Ready! 1-2-3," and you are expecting this huge crash on the drums, but instead all you hear is the crowd singing at the top of their lungs to the Lord. Awesome!

Beautiful Jesus is really starting to grow on me. I think Kristian Stanfill's rendition of Jesus Paid it All may be my favorite from the last Passion album that I have. Stanfill delivers again with this song.

The Glory of It All - I know that some people just find him to be odd, but I really like David Crowder. I guess that says something about me. :)

There's also some Matt Redman & Charlie Hall on this album. Even Steve Fee shows up. Tomlin has another rendition of My Chains are Gone as well. It's well worth the 9 dollar download from Amazon or for you iTunes users it's $10.

Music Tuesday - 2 Free Album Giveaways

I've had a lot of fun giving away music throughout the year, but what's amazing is how many times no one would take me up on the offer. So with all the money I've saved, I'm going to try giving away two album downloads on iTunes. Of course, as with all giveaways, there is a catch. Here's this one... This giveaway will be a drawing. In order to participate you need to share what you think is your favorite song or favorite album that you heard in 2008 . (The song/album can be from any year, but this year is when you really came to enjoy it.) You will need to post your comments on the blog -- facebook comments won't count. I will draw from the names next Tuesday, December 23rd, and the two winners will receive one free email gift certificate for $10 from iTunes for the music of YOUR CHOICE . So you can get an album or you can choose 10 different songs if you wish. Here's my favorite album of the year: Room to Breathe from Andy Gullahorn . This album is

Just Making Memories or Ear Piercing--The Hard Way.

I always wondered what it felt like to have your ear pierced, but no longer do I wonder... This weekend Grandpa Penn came down to take the guys fishing. We got up early and headed out to the lake in the Jon Boat. We really had a great day catching fish and just spending time together. The weather was great - this was the first good cold fall weekend. The leaves were turning and there was a mist on the water. (That's a picture of Old Kinmundy Lake.) My son started us off with a nice catch. It was also a lot of fun to see the Largemouth hit Grandpa's frog lure on the top of the water. I even had a lot of fun setting the hook on some Largemouth myself. But later in the afternoon, someone set the hook on me! That's right - one of my fishing buddies was making a cast and on their back swing caught a hold of my right ear with an Eagle Claw Lazer Sharp Wide Gap Worm Hook. And yes, the way you are cringing right now is exactly how it feels! At first it felt like someone just slap

Obama, Abortion & Young Evangelicals

-

There is a pretty heated discussion over on Tony Jones blog about this very topic. If I understand the commentators correctly... The Obama supporters think that his presidency will actually reduce abortions even though Obama is a strong Freedom of Choice Act supporter. They feel that Bush has done nothing to lower the amount of abortions and that by not developing a stronger economy and by not helping the poor he has contributed to more unwanted pregnancies. The McCain supporters think that McCain will continue to nominate conservative justices and will eventually overturn Roe v. Wade. They believe that Bush has helped the cause by appointing conservative justices and has taken a strong stand on stem cell research. Again, I'll ask a question I asked all the way back in February about Obama and abortion . How can a person who believes that abortion is morally wrong justify voting for a person who believes abortion can be morally acceptable? This is an honest question. I really am i
