Through a complete accident today (aka Twitter) I found this amazing NEW CD that was released TODAY (well, yesterday) of Christmas songs that are either original compositions or new versions of older hits. Basically, Paste Magazine took a bunch of amazing artists and got them to record songs of their own for Christmas and released a new CD. You can read more about the specifics here. But you also get a super awesome, super FREE Christmas mix as a result. You can listen to the whole CD before you download (to download all you have to do is enter your email address and your postal code). Feel free to leave a tip for the artist, if you'd like.
This evening a good many of the ladies from the church came over for some fellowship, good food, and some much needed words. I was reminded that God uses everything for good which is a really nice thing to hear someone else say. It's one thing to tell yourself that over and over and it's another to hear someone else say it. Somewhat like it's one it's one thing to tell yourself that you can cook well and it's another to hear someone else say it. Validation. We all need a little validation now and then. And a reminder that most of the emotions and desires we have aren't just our desires, they're human emotion and desires. There's nothing new under the sun. Nothing I have felt that you haven't. Most importantly there is nothing that either of us have felt that Jesus didn't feel while he was on Earth.
