Although bands were busy making music, they were just as busy apart from their jobs with other projects, adventures in traveling, and the usual sharing of thoughts and conjectures (serious or otherwise). Of course much of it found its way to Twitter.

As always, if you'd like to keep tabs on over 1,200 Christian artists, check out our exclusive NRTwitter page to read the latest tweets from the Christian music community.

MAKING MUSIC

@adamagee: How do I get the gig making the music you hear when you're on hold? I feel like I could improve that. (August 17)

We can probably all agree that being on hold would be significantly improved by some Stellar Kart tunes.

@TheRocketSummer: Somehow after a 12 hour day of tracking, what I find to be theraputic is to go home and write a new song. N e v e r e n d s... (August 19)

It is a sign that you have found the right job when you happily take your work home with you by choice.

@TheDrewcast: Anyone watch the Fox and Friends performance this morning? Selling the news, Dr.ew yfrog.com/klmi8fvj (August 19)

Switchfoot found their way into the news yet again. They performed their single “Dark Horses.” You can catch the performance here.

DAYS ON THE ROAD

@matthammitt: Saw the blonde guy from Rascal Flats at the airport this morning. I think his watch may be worth more than my house. His time is valuable. (August 19)

Presumably the pun here is both intended and true.

@6stringhero: Google-ing "How to increase your lung capacity" just in case we get chased today (August 19)

Casting Crowns guitarist Juan DeVevo likes to be prepared. Of course this tweet raises questions about why he would be expecting to be chased...

@swpbenjamin: Steven Curtis Chapman is playing guitar and warming up outside our dressing room... #speechless #punintended #fb (August 20)

Sidewalk Prophets got a rather special serenade before a concert this week.

@anthemlights: Worst part.. My contacts have been left behind. Soooo I'll be doing my 1st show blind. If I act like I can't see u. Don't be offended - Chad (August 20)

Due to some traveling glitches, Chad of Anthem Lights ended up playing a show without his luggage. He performed by faith, and not by sight.

ACHIEVMENTS

@IJBeachy: Let us honor the passing of our beloved Borders by picking the bones of its literal flesh

@IJBeachy: Speaking of, I wonder if we will mourn Wal-Mart in the same way when hipsters take over the earth. (August 16)

Israel Beachy of Disciple seems to be conflicted about the end of the book/movie/music store chain. In his second tweet, however, he raises a frightening view of a dystopic future.

@JFrankenstein: Six flights, a show in Washington State, a house closing in Nashville and moving too? Yep, and all in under 24 hours. (August 17)

Judging by Jeff Frankenstein's to-do list, he is not only a rock star, but also a superhero with an ability to achieve more than should be humanly possible. Really, it’s almost like he’s Frankenstein.

@jonforeman: Yo, lemme twitter that. instagr.am/p/Kn7u8/ (August 18)

It feels like this tweet must be breaking some kind of unwritten rule.

@laurenabarlow: Just got the copy edit of my book. Looks like I'm gonna be locked in my room for the next few days reading, editing and drinking coffee. (August 18)

Lauren Barlow is editing a book that compiles thoughts from many different writers on the works of A.W. Tozer. The process seems to be going well.

@aaronshust: Y'all need to read this. Pretty funny...I think: "What in the World Happened to Aaron Schust" bit.ly/rdKxhk

@aaronshust: No. I did not headline the Grammys, have lunch with Obama or have a personal tour of the moon. That's scheduled for November. (August 20)

In case you've been wondering what Aaron Shust has been up to lately...

@loswhit: Whent the fish aren't biting, you apparently use Barbie as bait instagr.am/p/Ky7G6/ (August 20)

This is definitely a creative tactic. He unfortunately did not provide a follow-up tweet to let us know how successful it was.

@mattmacdonaldis: Time is to love as wind is to fire. It puts out the small ones and builds up the big ones. (August 20)

Matt MacDonald of The Classic Crime provided a thought that could easily find its way into a song.
