That was a strange one.. liked the music.. I think.. not sure about the message.. what do you think the message was.. was there a message or am I over analyzing this one.. yeah probably over thinking.
Yes, very strange. I don't think there was a message, I think it was just another crazy video from another crazy group.
What I did find interesting in my research (I was writing an article about "O Come All Ye Faithful" for the church newsletter) was that Dee Synder, the lead singer, calls himself a Christian and says that "We Not Gonna Take It", one of their most famous songs, was inspired by "O Come All Ye Faithful".
I spent Sunday afternoon in our family farm's shop, refinishing a dresser I found at a local antique store. I'm a farmer's daughter, yes, and certainly what some would call a "country girl". But most who know me are surprised when they find this out about me. Maybe it's because my vocabulary doesn't include double negatives, or maybe it's because I don't like country music. Who knows. I need to have music on when I refinish anything. It keeps me in the groove and passes the time a little faster. I realized I'd forgotten the ear buds to my ipod, so I was stuck with the shop radio, where I was only able to get one station to come in. Of course, it was a country music station.

Both vocal solos are focused on Jesus very intentionally, as are the videos. For communion, my idea is to have a small bucket of paint sitting at the foot of the cross. As we all come forward for communion, we will have the chance to paint a stripe on the cross, to remind us of the price Jesus paid, the "stripes" if you will. During that ti...
