Squirrel dream
Published on Mar 9, 2010 - In: Fun
I’ve had numerous bizarre dreams at night lately, so I’ve decided I’m going to start sharing them. Hopefully you won’t think I’m crazy (that is, if you don’t already think I’m crazy).
I was going on a couple errands with my mom during the afternoon, after which we planned to pick up lunch to go and take it home. Well, the errands and shopping took a very long time (as expected) so my empty man stomach began getting frustrated.
We finally, after about a two hour delay due to errands, drove into a drive-through and were on the way home with the food (mom was driving) when I realized the purchase receipt indicated we were profoundly overcharged for our food. What should have been an order of $15 at the most (which I realize is sort of expensive for drive-through food, so maybe we went to Pei Wei or something?) was $40 on the receipt. Too much! Well, to my stomach’s dismay Mom decides to go correct the money issue before we go home and eat.
On the way to the restaurant, on a beautiful sunny day with our windows down at a long stoplight, a crazed squirrel climbs in the drivers side window and mom begins screaming like mad in panic. I jump out, but in her shock I can’t convince her to get out too. The squirrel eventually runs out the open passenger window.
Then I woke up.
Which reminds me of a video PSA David Crowder once put out…

Fresh Music Friday #6
Published on Mar 5, 2010 - In: Music
We all love music, especially discovering new music. Here is where we share the freshest, most original, and impactful music we know of. Maybe the best band you heard this week performed alternative folk, metalcore, pop, or funk music. The genre spectrum is wide, so let’s share and experience variation!
As I was watching one of my favorite shows on TV this week, Chuck, I heard this wonderful song playing in one scene so I Googled the lyrics and found the artist. The guy’s name is Daniel Zott- and he’s downright amazing. He’s one of those “one-man-band” kind of artists. He plays all the instruments as well as sings.
(In case you were wondering what song I heard on Chuck, it’s called “Living A Lie!” and it’s from the Let’s Just Admit and The Self​-​proclaimed album.)
Daniel lets you completely preview every song from every album he has on his website. I really respect this practice of Daniel’s. In fact I think it should be the standard for artists wanting to make a living on music in this Internet world- and thankfully he does too. It’s what music lovers expect. We want to know we aren’t buying a crap product. On top of this, Daniel’s albums are so cheap you can’t help but buy one after hearing his talent.
Head over to Daniel Zott’s website to preview all of his music you want, and also connect with him on Twitter.
Also, comment below, and tell me about some new music you’ve stumbled upon recently. Don’t be shy!

In my thinking, church doesn’t exist for the benefit of its members. It exists to equip its members for the benefit of the world.
