[I need four more songs. That way I can wake up to a different song each day. I got SOOO tired of the 33 miles song after waking up to it every morning for months on end. Do you have any suggestions?]
3. Set your alarm to play each of your wake up songs on a different day.
After happening upon one of his songs a couple days ago, I’ve become a big fan of Dustin Kensrue. I purchased six songs off of his Please Come Home album. Good stuff… not your average Christian music… In fact, it isn’t listed in that genre — though the lyrics reveal a deep current of theology and scripture. It’s rock… folky, earthy blues with an acoustic guitar.
Quote from a recent IM conversation. [Recreated from memory because logging was turned off...]
I really love this album.
I love the sound. I like folk.
I don’t like the overly processed music of late.
It sounds like Velveeta.
A year or two ago, my recruiter sent me the Every Soldier’s Battle kit for women. This kit includes the book Every Woman’s Battle. I never got around to reading it until now. We have a 1,200 page reading requirement for our Military Chaplaincy class. Some of that reading is left for us to choose. We can read chaplain, ministry, and military related books. Since this one came straight from my recruiter, I think it probably counts. I’m only to page 71. Much of what I’ve read so far doesn’t seem to relate to me personally… I think that makes it even more useful. It’ll help me understand and minister to women who deal with different battles than I do.
Coincidently, I just found a song by Dustin Kensrue that seems to fit some of the things I’ve been reading today. If his words touch your heart… you might want to buy the book.
Shawn McDonald’s newest albums comes out on March 11th. I’ve been listening to it at NewReleaseTuesday.com [this link will only be good for about a week.]
I’m having a hard time picking my favorite song. They’re all so magnetic, peaceful, honest, gentle or fun. I’m going to have to buy the album then blog about several of the tracks.
Right now, I’m thoroughly enjoying a song called Greed. It sounds awesome and the lyrics are perfect. I think I’ll put it on my phone and play it loudly as I walk through Wal-Mart.
I’ve really enjoyed listening to this album. The first time I heard track 1: Into The Day it was one of those divine DJ moments when the song came on unexpectedly when I was actually trying to listen to something else. The lyrics spoke perfectly into that very moment as a confirmation of a prayer I had just prayed.
I’m not staying at the Plaza but...
