Laughing is good

this is even better when you're adults

People are beautiful everywhere, and music can unite us.

People are beautiful everywhere and our response to music is beautiful, even when, or especially when it's not perfect. Watching this great variety of people from all around the world, so full of joy, having so much fun, I'm overwhelmed with emotion. Thank you, Matt Harding!

This is a fun summer song and video. It makes me want some smores!

Music Shopping

Victoria and I went to The Treasure House to do some shopping for TTC and the Youth Room (project still just a concept) and listened to a whole lot of great music. We came home with 4 CD's and ordered another. We bought Christy Nockel's Into the Glorious because it's got Ever Lifting which Heather and I sang twice at church and very pretty music. We bought Owl City's new CD and didn't even know it was the release date! We took home a really rocking CD by a band called Sky Terminal. There's their song Tonight in the video. They sound like a mix of Cold Play and Twilight movies. Then we chose a fun pop album by Britt Nicole called Gold. The songs remind me of Carly Rae Jepsen, bouncy and girly. The CD we ordered was a Toby Mac album that was sold out. We listened to almost every song on it and it was good fun rap music (funny I should say that because I don't normally like rap). So, we've got something for everyone, I think.

Live to Rise (From Marvel's THE AVENGERS) - Official Video

Like the sun we live to rise again. We will live and die and ignite again. Interesting.
What if you spell it like this: Like the Son we live to rise again?

Olympics are soooo cool!

Watching the Olympics and hearing the news of our medal winners makes me feel patriotic. I want to wave my flag. I Love Canada!
