For some reason my husband tends to become a country music fan for the few months of the year that summer occupies. The rest of the year he avoids it like the plague. But something about warm air, sunshine, beaches, and the prospect of a tan gets his inner honkey-tonk going. I'm from East Texas, so that part of me is always ready to be rowdy; and I am a forever fan of Miranda Lambert and Shania Twain. But as the years since college have added up, my radio-listening capacity has dramatically decreased. Car-time isn't filled with my music options anymore... Instead it's full of Veggie Tales and princess movie theme songs. As I've been trying to update my summer music options recently, I can't help wanting to only listen to songs that my daughter can handle. She is a sponge, and after hearing a song once, she can sing its lyrics back to me. It's terrifying and amazing. As a result, I've been scouring iTunes for good music that will get her heart thumping with life-giving words, and I … [Read more...]
Rock the Universe – Universal Orlando
Rock the Universe is a yearly, 2 day, Christian music event held at the Universal Studios Orlando theme park. Each year, a group of new and seasoned Christian artists come together and hold a concert at the theme park. It is a separately ticketed event, that allows all who come to not only enjoy the awesome music, but also the fantabulous rides and attractions at Universal Studios Orlando! Disclosure: I received free passes for me and my family to attend the event. However, all opinions are my own. Most of us had never even been to Universal, so this was an extra special treat! The 2013 event I attended had a GREAT line of of Christian bands and artists like; Chris Tomlin, Switchfoot, Colton Dixon (American Idol contestant), Tenth Avenue North (one of my favs), David Crowder Band (another one I love), Everfound, Casting Crowns (love), Reliant K, Lecrae, Red (my hubs and oldest love them), and MANY more! There are special Q&A sessions held on both nights of event with … [Read more...]
Found and AWESOME CD and want to share!
Just You and Me is the newest release from Adie Camp (Jeremy Camp's wife). I have always liked Adie...She has an awesome voice and you can feel her love for the Lord shine through in her music. I have been a fan of her voice since before I ever heard of Jeremy! LOL! She used to be in an AWESOME Christian band called; The Benjamin Gate. Anyway, She is STILL amazing! Her new CD, Just You and Me is just beautiful. Her voice is precious and you can almost hear the angels singing along as she brings glory to Daddy God. I just love it! My only complaint is that there are only 10 songs! LOL! I wish it was longer...but that's OK...I just replay it over and over. It is a great CD for when you are feeling bogged down by the world, are in a spiritual battle or just need to have some assistance getting into the presence of the Lord. I highly recommend Adie Camp's, Just You and Me for your music collection! And... Because I just LOVE my MOF readers, I want to give one away! … [Read more...]
