2015 Christmas Music Marathon Day 2

Not every Christmas song is easily identified as Christmas music. We have to listen closely in order to realize that the lyrics are announcing the birth of Christ in a new way. Everyone may be familiar with Hark the Herald Angels Sing, but this song declares the same message in a more contemporary verse. Have a blessed day.

Inspiration Thursday/Skywatch Friday

Last week we took our annual Family Vacation to Branson, Missouri.  This is the fourth time in five years that we have stayed at the same resort on Table Rock Lake.  The grandkids are getting older
(the youngest will be 12 in September) but they still love this place because they can go from the pool to the lake in five minutes.  There is something for everyone.  It's hard not to be inspired by sunsets on the lake.  A little yellow, a little blue, and a whisp of pink is just a reminder that our Creator loves us and wants to say good night in a very special way.  It's hard to look at a glorious sunset and not shout, "Glory to God in the Highest."  Have a blessed week-end.

Christmas Music Marathon Day 7

It's time for a little Christmas music from the Southern Gospel genre.  One of my favorite groups has always been Signature Sound Quartet.  Here are a couple of my favorite songs from them.  Enjoy.

Skywatch Friday

It's been hot here...very hot.  The afternoon high has been over 100 degrees for nearly two weeks now and it hasn't rained significantly in over a month.  I needed a photo with a little cooler blue in it, but this still has a hot core at the horizon.  I thought about trying to find a winter scene and see if that would cool me off.  This photo was taken in January, but there was no snow on the ground at the time.  Still, I know it was cooler then, than it is now.
Nothing makes me forget about the hot weather, or my troubles like Gospel music.  Regardless of the weather, regardless of my circumstances, I can always look to heaven and say, "Glory to God in the Highest."  Have a blessed week-end.

Christmas Music Marathon - Day 1

The day after Thanksgiving, Christmas season officially starts at the Driller abode.  I put Christmas CD's in the cars.  I put a Christmas music playlist on my computer at work and the next 24 days is devoted to the music of the season.  I don't know if I'll be able to post every day until Christmas, but I'll give it a go.  Each day will feature a new Christmas music video.  Some days that is all that will be posted.  Let's get started.  The first video is from Ernie Haase and Signature Sound.  This may not look like a Christmas video, but listen to the words.  It is definitely about the birth of the Savior.  Let the celebration begin.



I told ya this wouldn't look like a traditional Christmas video, but then, I never said I was going to focus on Christmas Carols, now did I. Stay tuned, there's lots more to come.
