again, thank you all for your support. also you lurkers who have sent me emails – thank you. sometimes i hear the words, “i’ve gone through that too – what you’ve said means so much to me” and now i am the one getting the emails from people sharing that they have been through this before, allowing me to have the “me too” moment. so, thank you for sharing your stories of peace, healing, and restoration.
i thought we’d come up for some air and have a little fun. chris bought a new cd and it had a coupon for three free iTunes songs in it.

i know you’re not into contemporary Christian very much but one song i’ve really been fed by is “Lead me to the Cross” – Hillsong. ahh so good.
anything East Village Opera Company (2nd Album)
The new Foo Fighters album is sweet. If you like Foo Fighters….
I’d go for either classic rock or Motown hits.
And for an interesting mix of the two genres, you can go with Michael McDonald (of the Doobie Brothers) singing Motown classics on his last two CD’s…

Matthew Perryman Jones used to be my church’s worship leader! It made me happy to see someone mention him!
I got a Blindside song on iTunes years ago that isn’t on any of their albums. It’s now one of the most-played songs on my iPod. It’s called “I Know Why You Dress In Black.”
Okay so I am biased but Manchester Orchestra is pretty cool. They were just on David Letterman, they are young and if you can understand any of the lyrics:) explore a lot of questions of spirituality. Honest stuff. And the drummer happens to be my little bro who gets married on Sat:) Check it out!
