As Joni Mitchell said so well so many years ago, it’s coming on Christmas, and I wanted to remind you of a brand new AMAZING instrumental album that is sure to satiate your Christmas music hunger. That’s right - the new Christmas Mood album by none other than the handsome/fit/ivory tickling half of Dadville:
MR. JON MCLAUGHLIN.
I LOVE these albums. Jon has been making these Mood records for a few years now - they are instrumental piano albums that are so well written and performed, and i started begging him for a Christmas mood record a while ago, and this year, my wish came true.
So - as you’re hosting friends for a Christmas party, wrapping presents for the little ones, sitting with your loved one relaxing after many Christmas festivities, put on this album. It’s sure to put you in the…..mood. The CHRISTMAS mood.
Sorry. I wish i hadn’t done that. but, I did.
Enjoy!
What I'm reading...
The Evolution of Adam by Peter Enns
Faith is a journey, is it not? (it is.) And the journey has been very eventful these past 2 years and it can be a little unsettling to say the least. Well, I was on a trip with my friends Matt Wertz and Brandon Heath last year and we were in the car talking and Wertz recommended some books by this guy Peter Enns (It was actually a different book than the one above - it was The Bible Tells Me So). I had started keeping a note on my phone and filling it with endless paragraphs of questions I had that were growing quickly and reading Enns' books feels like Enns has been looking at my note app and writing a book addressing those exact questions.
Anyone who starts writing books on scripture is inevitably going to get criticism and Enns has some critics out there to be sure. This book and others by Peter Enns have had a positive impact on me.
What I'm listening to...
Christmas music. A lot of Christmas music.
What I'm thinking about...
I just played a few Christmas shows and the last one of the year was a show in Indiana at one of my favorite venues in the world. I just can't put into words how much I loved this show. It was one of the best times I have ever had on stage and I'm so grateful for it!
