Road Trip Mix

So, if you guys were to go on a road trip what would you be bumpin' on your iPod?

I'm trying to put a mix together so I want to hear what you guys think.

I want it all!

Music from the 60s all the way to today. All kinds, all genres...just keep the country music down to a minimum please. =)

I'll even go as far as listen to podcasts...they HAVE to be REALLY good though.

It'd be cool if the list has a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 20.

So, let's have it you brilliant musical folks you...let the commenting BEGIN!

click here for you RSS/reader folks.

"Healer" by Mike Guglielmucci

You hold my every moment
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
And heal all my disease

I trust in You
I trust in You

I believe You're my Healer
I believe You are all I need
I believe You're my Portion
I believe You're more than enough for me
Jesus You're all I need

My Healer, You're my Healer

Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
You hold my world in Your hands

It's been in the news...

It's been talked about...

It's been blogged about...

Everyone has their opinion...this is mine.

The Word, is the Word...is the Word. Truth coming from a liar's mouth makes it no less than what it is...it's still the truth. King David was a thief, an adulterer, a murderer...a liar. Yet his words are still touching and changing people's lives to this very day. Why? Because the Truth is the Truth is the TRUTH.

God's words will NOT return back to Him empty.

My good friend Nick, a talented and gifted worship leader and song writer, posted this on his blog...I couldn't agree more.

Just tonight I read an article from theworshipcommunity.com called "When Vessels Break (Mike Gulielmucci and Healer)" that Karen pointed out to me. What caught my attention was the verse that the writer used in his article...it was perfect!

15 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. 16 The latter do so in love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. 17 The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains.

18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, …

Philippians 1:15-18 (NIV)

I love how “The Message” translation covers verses 18-19:

 18 So how am I to respond? I’ve decided that I really don’t care about their motives, whether mixed, bad, or indifferent. Every time one of them opens his mouth, Christ is proclaimed, so I just cheer them on! And I’m going to keep that celebration going 19 because I know how it’s going to turn out.

Don't be persuaded by the glitz and the glam or be discouraged by the dirt and the grime. Search your heart...make it personal between you and God. God listens to YOUR HEART and not to your mouth singing a version of someone else's song.

Pray for Mike Guglielmucci and his family. Pray for the people that have been negatively affected by this. Pray for wisdom and understanding.

The song "Healer" will ALWAYS have a very special place in my heart.

Tour Video

See if you can spot someone we all know and love in this video.

ENJOY!

3 questions...

1. Did you see who it was?

2. Can you tell me who it is?

3. What movie were they parodying?

Phil Wickham

wow...check Phil's version of the classic "Hallelujah"...brilliant.

what's your favorite version of this song?

Brilliant Mind

In my humble opinion I believe that David Crowder is a friggin' genius. Now add the vital components of the David Crowder Band in that mix and it makes for a savory oozing of wonderful gooeyness for your ears, minds and hearts.

DC is also an "ODDITY"...in a cool funky way. He's like 7 foot tall, weighs 110lbs. soaking wet, a goatee that has it's own voice, a fro-tastic doo and that impeccable taste for fashion.

Another glimpse of his "brilliance" is his desktop. I just HAD to share this when I saw it.

This is what his desktop looks like...on purpose...bwahahaha!BRILLIANT!!!

You can read his explanation in this post.

Music Department Party

We had our world famous (well, at least our corner of the world) party last night. Fun and merriment was had by all. It was a Mexican themed party so we had lots of Mexican food, tons of yummy desserts and a blistering round of a traditional Mexican game called "Catch Phrase" (girls vs. guys...girls won but we're submitting a protest to the commissioner).

Tony...'nuff said.


Checking out baby Rivers.


Hmmm...what's Josh doing here?!?!?!


I think Alisha's trying to listen in on the conversation.


T-Mac, Dubba G and Amesizzle...Gangstaz!


What's a party without good food and good friends?


Agimudie vs. Agimudie ping-pong or as the Chinese call it...ping-pong.

How was your Sunday night?
How does your Music Department have fun as a group?
