This is awesome. Music. Nature. Creativity.

Sorry that it's all to promote a wooden phone.

This is War

This is war like you ain't seen.
This winter's long, it's cold and mean.
With hangdog hearts we stood condemned,
But the tide turns now at Bethlehem.

This is war and born tonight,
The Word as flesh, the Lord of Light,
The Son of God, the low-born king;
Who demons fear, of whom angels sing.

This is war on sin and death;
The dark will take it's final breath.
It shakes the earth, confounds all plans;
The mystery of God as man.

Good Christmas Music

I love music, and I especially love Christmas music. Here are some of my favorite Christmas albums that I think you'll enjoy:

1.

Andrew Peterson's Behold the Lamb of God.

This IS my favorite Christmas album. It is a a biblical/historical account of the world's looking forward to the Christ, and our joy and thankfulness because of his coming. I especially love So Long Moses. You can listen free here, or purchase here.

2.

Red Mountain Church's Silent Night.

Full of biblical and traditional favorites, RMC does another great set of songs, led by Ashley Spurling beautiful voice. You can purchase it here.

3.

Bifrost Arts' Salvation is Created.

This is a newcomer to me, but I'm enjoying it. Not your usual Christmasy kind of fare, but melding scriptural content/thought with helpful music to interpret the texts. You can purchase here. Or, you can download two free tracks here and here.
