This band has a track on the current Paste Magazine sampler disc. It’s a crazy-good bluesy rock song called “Testify.” I’m trying to read up on the band so I can speak a little better to their story, but if you have any love for music, these guys will stir your soul.
Here’s just a taste of the lead singer’s talent, I got chills watching this.

I joined a group on Flickr called “A Day In The Life Of…” Each month, they choose a day and a theme, and then the group members take pictures to tell the story of their experiences on the chosen date.
I wasn’t blown away by my results, but it was so much fun! I really enjoyed the challenge of telling a narrative through photographs, then trying to accomplish that goal with a common theme throughout. Photography is a new medium for me, and I’m loving the process of learning how to use it.
So, here’s my Saturday in pictures. Head over to my DILO set to read some description, then you can check out the other DILO submissions.

Run, John, run. The law commands
But gives neither feet nor hands.
Better news the gospel brings;
It bids us fly and gives us wings.

We could not take one step in the pursuit of holiness if God in His grace had not first delivered us from the dominion of sin and brought us into union with His risen Son. Salvation is by grace and sanctification is by grace.

Here’s what Comcast did with the money they made by charging me more and giving me less service. Good for them.

I’ve heard a lot about this site, but didn’t take the plunge to try it ’till my friend Phil set his site up today.
Muxtape is basically a service that allows you to set up your own page with up to 12 mp3’s, to which visitors can listen. If they like the song, they can link from the track to Amazon.com and buy it for themselves. It’s a cool idea, functioning as a public, constantly adjustable “mixtape” of your favorite songs.
Check out my muxtape and enjoy some of the music I’ve been listening to lately. Let me know what you think of my selections, then you can set up your own and share the love!

I believe that I have been given eternal life through the work of my Saviour, Jesus Christ. If this research proves true, then I may have a lot longer time to serve Him here on earth than I was expecting to have.
Researchers at Georgetown have discovered that a compound in cocoa beans is very effective in preventing the growth of some of the most aggressive cancer cells, and also that habitual coffee drinkers live longer on average than non coffee drinkers.
I’ve been drinking coffee and eating chocolate as often as I can for years. I had no idea I was just taking care of my body! Woohoo!!

Coldplay’s new album Viva La Vida released today. I’m listening through it now and will probably write about it in the near future. This album was produced by Brian Eno, so I started looking through some of Eno’s writing about music in general. Here are a couple of my favorites:
I wanted to make a kind of music that existed on the cusp between melody and texture, and whose musical logic was elusive enough to reward attention, but not so strict as to demand it.
As soon as I hear a sound, it always suggests a mood to me.
I take sounds and change them into words.
If you want to make someone feel emotion, you have to make them let go. Listening to something is an act of surrender.
