My new favorite band...

"In this Moment"! That's the name of a band I've been listening to recently. Though i tend to be somewhat skeptical when it comes to metal bands with a female at the helm, this one sure did catch my attention. In their new album "The Dream" they blend melodic metalcore with 80's new wave punk all the while adding in a twist of goth, which makes for a tasty tasty treat.

This band is much like the goth/melodic bands of Europe such as "Nightwish"and "Within Temptation" but with good compositions, a good vocalist, and catchy hooks. Yes folks, yet again American music has schooled the rest of the world (no offense intended), and you would do well to go check them out on myspace or your local music store.

Stay tuned for my thoughts on the Indie Rap group called "Flobots"....

Awesome!

When Sorry doesn't fix it.....

Well, everyone makes mistakes right? Right! And we all know that when we make those mistakes, the Lord is right there to forgive us. That’s a pretty comforting thought if you ask me. But no matter how sorry we are, sometimes it just doesn’t fix it. If you have hurt someone, or betrayed someone’s trust it’s almost impossible to regain that trust or make things right. It’s sad, but I believe that the Lord allows it.

There truly is no condemnation under Christ. There is no reason to mull over the mistakes that we’ve made, we need to accept and learn from them, but I do believe that the Lord allows us to experience the pain of not being forgiven to really drive the point home. Maybe we have been making the same mistake over and over and this are in need of something more drastic to get us to finally wake up.

Recently I did something that hurt two very good friends of mine. It was a moment of weakness but the effects of that single moment will last a long time. In my case, I am determined to not let it go to waste. I want to learn what I can and allow the experience to keep me desperate and changing. That’s really all the Lord expects from us, the rest is in his hands.

To sum it up; sorry doesn’t always fix it, but we can do our part by learning from our mistakes and truly changing from the inside out. If we do our part, the Lord will do his. Ok that’s all I have to say about that. It’s short, but to the point. Any thoughts?

Christmas!!
