  • Saturday Tunes

    Tough to believe it is Saturday already. What a quick week! This morning I had a meeting at the church about church marketing, then I came home to finish up the yard work before a 12:30 PM showing. (They were 15 minutes early) Now, I’ve got some work to do before I head back outside to do the edging and finalize some stuff for Mike’s graduation party tommorow afternoon. 

    While I’m doing all of that, music is always playing. Sometimes in my mind and sometimes on my ipod. So… here are the next 10 tunes rocking my eardrums this muggy June afternoon. As always, totally random shuffle, ratings included, no cheating. 

    1. The Glory of it All by David Crowder Band ****
    2. I Walk the Line by Johnny Cash *****
    3. That Was Your Mother by Paul Simon *****
    4. Sing, Sing, Sing by Chris Tomlin ****
    5. I Won’t Be Silent by David Crowder Band ***** (would be a 6 if it were possible)

    Saturday TunesIt’s kind of cool having a Monday through Friday job. For the first time in forever I can look forward to going to church in the morning without thinking of a million work details. That’s a guilty pleasure. 

    Today we are heavy into “honey-do” as we have a graduation party at the house in just 8 days. So this morning I got started painting the basement floor a sexy basement floor grey color. We’re also tidying up some kitchen projects that are long overdue. This includes finishing the kitchen cabinet and counter thing that has been in “pending” mode for nearly a year. It’s kind of crazy how you just get used to stuff not being 100% done, isn’t it?

    So with that stuff spinning the iPod is working overtime. Here at the next 10 tunes I’ll be jamming to. As always, completely random, no cheating, ratings included.

    1. Revolutionary Love by David Crowder Band ****
    2. Emtpy Heart by Newworldson ****
    3. Proud Father by Jon McLaughlin ****
    4. It Just Takes One by Addison Road *****
    5. Loose Lips by Kimya Dawson *****
    6. God of This City by Chris Tomlin *****
    7. Stop to Love by Luther Vandross ****
    8. I Stand Amazed by Chris Tomlin ****
    9. Pieces of the Sun by Test Your Reflex ****
    10. Welcome to this Place by Hillsong ****
    What are your next 10?

  • Saturday Tunes

    I got a reminder that I forgot to do this last week. Last weekend was so wild I don’t even know if I opened iTunes. This weekend is slightly better. While we’ve got tons going on with trying to get the yard in shape for a graduation party, trying to get the house in shape for putting it on the market, soccer, my Acts class, and a few other things… music will be an integral part of that. More to the point, I’ll be listening to music when I’m working outside, getting ready for my Acts class, and installing some stuff around la casa de McLane. 

    As always, these are the next 10 songs that popped up on my iTunes. Totally random, no cheating, ratings included.

    Saturday TunesThis morning I’ll be teaching a class at Romeo Bible Institute on the Book of Acts. After that I’m coming home to start working on some template and structure changes at Youth Ministry Exchange. And at some point during the day Patti and her family are arriving from Albany, NY to hang out with us for their Spring Break. They were tired of their Gubanatorial sex scandal in their state so they thought they’d come to the Detroit area… where we know how to mix our mayoral sex scandals with bribery and dead strippers.

  • Shout to the Lord on AI

    Shout to the LordI missed this, but there is plenty of talk about it today on blogs. During American Idol last night the cast sang Darlene Zschech’s classic modern worship song, Shout to the Lord. (The song has it’s own Wikipedia page, you know it’s big!)

    Here’s the video for those who missed it.
