reflections on denver

i don't know how many of you are following america's next great band. and honestly i wouldn't choose to watch it myself, except for the connection to denver and his band. it is truly amazing to watch them perform and say "i know them. i really do. he goes to my church (when he is home that is!)"

so anyways....hubby and i are almost always home on fridays so we have been following the show. thankfully, several nasty sounding bands have made their exit. but this is what i observed this week:

1. the first judge always asks why they didn't do a different style of music. now, i have not yet heard him ask dot dot dot or the little boys to do something other than heavy rock music. i haven't heard him ask sixwire to change their sound either. hmm....so why should denver???

2. this feeds off the second...i think it shows how incredible denver is as a musician that he can take a rolling stones song and turn it into a big band swing arrangement. i'm not sure dot dot dot could pull that off.

3. really - they are an incredible band. whether you care for the style or not. or even for denvers singing voice, the band is incredible!!!

4. okay, i need to be honest here....i really like them and of course i'm a little biased b/c how often do you see someone you grew up with performing in that kind of competition. but if i'm honest...their real competition is with the clark brothers!! i have to say they are a favorite here..... nice style. on a side note...a couple denver guys started a bible study with the clark guys...pretty cool huh?? maybe there is hope for the light of doom kids...

enjoy and vote on friday....

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
