33 Miles Goes More Than The Extra Mile | Posted April-21-2008
This album was a pleasant surprise with 6 or 7 of the tracks being ones I considered very good. My initial review mistakenly confused 33 miles with the new Mercy Me album. 33 Miles shows good heart and spirit content while maintaining your attention to good melodies, lyrics and message(s).
This album beats the typial ~3 good songs test and definitely recommend it to those who are unsure. Listen to a few 30 second clips and you'll be sold.
The Great Divorce is Great! | Posted April-21-2008
Having read all of C.S. Lewis books; this is his best book of all! As Lewis states in the preface, he is writing this book to counter Blake's book written declaring "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell". Lewis himself proclaims not all paths lead to heaven and he is writing of heaven's "divorce" from hell. Thus, "The Great Divorce".
Follow many characters on a fantastic bus ride from earth to heaven. Pass by dwellings in the utter darkness and distance some have choosen as far away from others as possible.
See how choices concerning heaven, love, etc. can be confused for possessiveness and as a departure from the things people attest they desire most.
Glimpse into the spiritual world to "see" it is more real than the physical one we currently inhabit. Oh, the blades of grass in heaven look so clear and transparent but when stepped on, they are sharp and piercing like shards of glass!
Though not as well known as The Chronicle's of Narnia, this book beats my favorite of the series; "The Last Battle".
Invest 2 to 3 hours and have your imagination touched vividly and wonderfully beyond your expectations. You'll never "see" things the same again!

These talented young men remind us of the simplicity of loving Jesus. It's not about how much scripture we know, time spent prayer, reading His word or giving to His Kingdom.
Rather, "what you do to the least of these you do unto me". It is reminiscent of Bruce Carrol's hit in the late 80s/early 90s "Who will be Jesus."
Hallelujah Jesus reminds us, Jesus is our friend, we're His brothers and sisters, Joint Heirs with Christ, King's and Priest's. Yet we worship and adore a God who chose to die for our sins BEFORE the "foundations of the world." Such love is so amazing, it can not be comprehended!
He's our friend, brother and has allowed us to sit with Him in heavenly places. Yet Jesus remains the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
Amen. Heaven Isn't a place, it's the person of Jesus (Jn 17:3). And what we do to the least of these we do unto Jesus!
