Listening Loves

I generally don't prefer to repeat experiences. In other words, I rarely watch a movie a second time or reread a book. It also explains why I rarely listen to the radio because I get sick of hearing the same 40 songs over and over.

But when something really grabs me (like Cloverfield which I watched a second time in theaters on Sunday night - thanks for letting me introduce it to you, James!), I'll give it a repeat.

I've been listening to Hillsong's latest worship album (which came in my "Relevant Network Kit" Winter 2008 box) entitled Saviour King. The CD has practically been on repeat at my home, and I've often found myself pulling it up on my iPhone while I am in the car. I wake with the songs in my head (and they aren't driving me crazy yet!) and find myself having impromptu worship moments throughout my day. It's been a while since a worship CD has grabbed me like this.

While I'm talking about what I've been listening to, I've also been enjoying Robbie Seay Band's Give Yourself Away album. And I've come to like Brandon Heath's Don't Get Comfortable CD because my 10-year-old daughter likes it.

And I've also really been enjoying listening to Andy Stanley's sermons as of late. And Erwin McManus' "Intersections" series about billboards was far better than I expected.

So if you are wanting some new things to listen to in the car, at home, or on your iPod, there are some things I've been loving to listen to and recommend to you!

I love that new Hillsong cd too! Its got some great worship songs and their lyrics capture my heart and my worship toward God. I've listened to it many times since I got it and I'm still not tired of it.

So maybe we need to start lobbying for some of these songs on Thursday nights. :o)

By the way, I'm listening to the CD right now as I type this!

I agree! We already do In Your Freedom, but we could definitely learn a few others. I find it impossible to pick a favorite song on the album.
