enough with the hiatus

after a month of absence, i was finally able to pick myself up and now
continue from where i left off. last night we continued with our song
exposition. ganito kasi, before our team sing a new song, we study the
song in detail: it's meassage, relevance, scriptural references, etc. i
remember the last time we did this was a month ago and it was my
birthday (the guys threw me a not-so surprise party after my discussion). it
was the nails in Your hands that we discussed, the song was written
by richard cimino. last night we did unashamed love by ten shekel shirt.

before we started with our activity, i asked the team what's the most
shameful thing they did in the name of love. hehe. someone said, she
kept an sms message of her boyfriend for two years (and counting). hmm..
i wonder what it said. hehe.. another have a compulsive behavior of buying
things he thought the girl he is courting would like.. after that, i gave some
examples of biblical figures expressing their unashamed love to God. of
course we all know about David dancing in the streets without much clothing
and the lady who wiped Jesus feet with her hair and with perfume that costs
about a year's wage. whew..

made a mixed cd for a friend of mine from general santos city. most of the
songs, i've downloaded from an american indie label called tooth and nail.
you might want to check out www.toothandnail.com . most of the bands here
play melodic punk and some are professing Christians. there's this band named
further seems forever it was Chris Carrabba's band until he left to form
dashboard confessional. i'm pretty sure dashboard confessional is not a
Christian band, their song vindicated is included in the spiderman 2 soundtrack
along with switchfoot's dare you to move. have you guys seen their video? it's great..
it's a departure from the sound that we're so familiar of, we're greatly acquainted with
the band because of their song only hope. and thanks also to mandy moore. hehe.
i also added some p.o.d. videos which kuya downloaded from their site. from the
video's opening, you will see sonny sandoval doing an altar call. astig. then i added some
united, sonicflood, lincoln brewster, delirious? and david crowder. guys please don't sue me.
please.... *does a shameful look*

anyway, plungefest anytime soon!
