To answer your question, yes … I do get bored … a lot.

Proverbs

Posted on Monday, April 7, 2008 in Ramblings, Religion

Proverbs 3:3

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee bind them about thy necks; write them upon the table of thine heart.

Proverbs 3:3

Proverbs and/or Song of Songs would probably be my favorite books in the Bible. I always seem to find scripture directly relating to things I’m currently struggling with or worrying about …

Dear Friend, if bad companions tempt you, don’t go along with them.

Proverbs 1:10

When you grab all you can get, that’s what happens: the more you get, the less you are.

Proverbs 1:19

Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs.

Proverbs 10:12

Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong; for like the grass they will son wither, like green plants they will soon die away.

Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this; He will make your righteousness shine like the sawn, the just ice of your cuase like the noonday sun.

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.

Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret — it leads only to evil. Fro evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit their land.

Psalm 37:1-9

And for another Jars of Clay song, Dig … possibly the prettiest song I’ve heard them sing and my overall favorite Jars of Clay song (my favorite of favorites ;) ).

Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer. From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe.

Psalm 61:1-3

(that last one also gives way to a Kutless song named Strong Tower)

letting the sun shine through,

Jars of Clay

Posted on Sunday, March 30, 2008 in Ramblings, Religion

Jars of Clay is probably my favorite band … ever. The vocals are just perfect, and so real. Too many bands these days suck live because they synthesize every part of their “sound” … Jars of Clay, on the other hand, sounds just about the same live as they do on their CD :D

Two of my favorite (or currently favorite) songs would probably be Sunny Days and Lonely People. The lyrics are just as nice as the vocals … so read and figure it out ;)

!Hero: The Rock Opera

Posted on Wednesday, March 19, 2008 in Mom, Religion

It’s possibly the best “movie” and album I’ve seen (listened to) … ever.

If you haven’t seen the show (which I was sad to find out that they actually did one in Nashville and I missed it :( ) you definitely should check out the DVD or CD. Personally I like the music on the DVD version better, probably because it doesn’t sound like it’s been so … “studioized” if you know what I mean. The premise of the show is about a modern day version of the Jesus story. Michael Tait (from dcTalk) plays the role of Jesus (and does it wonderfully). Other well-known bands / people include the lead singer from Audio Adrenaline, Rebecca St. James, T. Bone (from Grits?), and others that I’d recognize if I heard their names :P
