Christmas on a Sunday? But…?
Once every 7 years or so, Christmas falls on a Sunday. Having gone to church myself every Sunday for far too long, you might think I deserve the day off. What’s it going to hurt if we just shut the doors and skip church for one Sunday anyway? Well, it will hurt Christmas, I tell you! I’m...

music for reading
If you are anything like me then you enjoy music more than simply what is on the loud speaker at your local grocery store. I would say that unless I am sleeping I am usually listening to music. Now I don’t want to paint myself as a crazy only two sentences into this blog, so I will also say...

The Weight of Lies
I have been an Avett Brothers fan for while now, and the reason is the poetic nature of their lyrics. There is a genuine feeling to them that is really refreshing. If you have never heard of the Avett brothers, then i could describe them as a bluegrass/folk/indie. They are a really talented...

great summer music releases from Tooth and Nail Records
So I am always on the look for some great rock and roll Christian bands, but this year has seemed somewhat lacking. It is almost as if 2008/2009 was the time for incredible rock albums with bands like Ivoryline and Oh Sleeper releasing heavy rock albums. Thankfully August was a very good...

Movie Review: The Book of Eli
I went to see The Book of Eli last week. In short it was an artistic, slightly-profound action movie. It was just provocative enough to keep me and the guys I saw it with talking for the drive back, but no too much; it was like a snack.
The story, if you haven’t heard, is a post-apocalyptic...

Movie Review: Avatar
I saw a matinee of Avatar 3-D opening day. The turn out was as expected, not too long of lines with seats left over. But I was ready for a good show and Avatar didn’t disappoint. Breathtaking artwork and mountains of imagination went into creating this film, just looking at it makes the trip...
