    Saturday TunesAh, the weekend. After a fairly stressful start to my week we hit Thursday and coasted. Lots of good stuff happened this week. Lots of stuff accomplished. But it was a front-loaded week and it felt good to have a couple easy days.

    Last night I went with Chris, a staffer at Harbor, over to Rock Church for a thing on the economy and social justice. I don’t know that I really learned anything new about what has happened and what is happening with our nations finances, but it was very good to see a church educating its people about what it all means for them and what they can do.

    Today is a normal Saturday. Kristen is off to climb Cowles Mountain while I hang with the kids. Later, we’ll take Stoney to the beach. Kristen and Paul already have in a request for Chinese food for lunch… so I guess it’s that and then more fun the rest of the weekend. I’m already looking forward to going to the beach Sunday afternoon.

    Here are the next 10 tunes I’m listening to this morning. As usual, these are completely random and my ratings are included.

    #1 Say When by The Fray *****

    #2 Anyone Else But You by The Moldy Peaches ****

    #3 A King a Kingdom by Derek Webb ****

    I think cabin fever has settled into the McLane household. We are all stir crazy and we are all waiting for the weather to turn just a big so we can go do something. Anything will do.

    I think we’re headed to a farmer’s market or some sort of outdoor deal today. Fresh air will do us all some good.

    In the meantime, as always, I find a moment of solace with some early morning tunes. Here are the next 10 tunes rattling my ear drums this first Saturday in January. As always, completely random and ratings included.

    #1 Replace Me by Family Force 5 ***

    #2 Ancient History by Hawk Nelson ***

    #3 Old Love by Eric Clapton ***

    #4 You Give Me Something by James Morrison ****

    #5 Brighter Days by Leeland ****

    #6 Spaceman by The Killers ****

    #7 All Because of Jesus by Steve Fee ***

    #8 Tell Me Something Good by P!nk **** (Happy Feet Soundtrack)

    #9 What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong ****

    #10 Never Never by Brick & Lace ***

    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.

    As I am finalizing my preparation for classes, my iTunes is rockin’ these next 10 songs. As always these are random, no cheating, ratings included.

    1. Every Breath You Take by The Police ****
    2. How Great Thou Art by Charlie Hall ****
    3. Our Love is Loud by David Crowder Band ****
    4. All I Want is You by Barry Louis Polisar *****
    5. Anyone Else But You by Michael Cera and Ellen Page *****
    6. Daddy by Jewel **** (Alright, that one is embarrassing!)
    7.  Life is Beautiful by Vega4
    8. I Hate Everything (but you) by Derek Webb ****
    9. A Kiss to Build a Dream On by Louis Armstrong *****
    10. One by U2 *****
