The BEST band in the WORLD



Hillsong United. They are music to my ears, seriously. Just say Hillsong and I can't help but bust out into song...and hence the music to your ears. I don't think I'm the only with this opinion either.

I had no idea when their next album was coming out until yesterday, I found their advertisements on my blogging routine. NEXT WEDNESDAY they are releasing their new live album. Now some people might shy away from such shenanigans- live music, really? This would be the biggest mistake of your life! I've seen them live and that's how this whole love affair began....when they plain blew my socks off. It wasn't a concert, it was a worship-fest. I think it was probably the most powerful experience I've had in worship. I know worship isn't about me- EXACTLY! You might think I'm exaggerating with all the exclamation points and talking about how they have, in part, changed my life- so watch and see for yourself!

Apparently they are not only music geniuses, but advertising geniuses. It seems they've released several videos to stragetic people (who happen to blog) to post/advertise throughout the week and spread the word. At the end of each post, they suggest the blog for the next release on the next day.

It started here and here.
Today it moved here (and posted below).
I can't wait to see what tomorrow holds....which just might be the point of all of this....

Deathbed

Long song, but worth the entire thing!



Jesus is life, live in Him.

Life



"You see, death, it's unavoidable, but that's not the tragedy. The tragedy is that life can be avoidable too. And while you will not miss your appointment with death, you might actually miss your appointment with life- if you never stop and have this life-changing conversation with Jesus. Where you simply turn to him and say, "I believe and I know that YOU are the source of life, and I need you."
