To: Alberta's Child
I Love the Lord by Petra

#1 on my playlist is a song the kids in children's church at my old church used to beg for years ago. I didn't lead children's church every Sunday because I rotated with two other adults. But every time I was there they'd "talk me into" playing the song if they could quote that month's Bible verse.

I got tired of the song. And I wound up parting ways with that church when I learned that my donation money was going to abortion and gay lobbyists (United Methodist) and there was no way to talk them out of it.

That changed when I learned a year and a half ago that the young adults (the ones I remember as kids) were the main voice in that Methodist church breaking away from the hedonist UMC conference and joining the more Bible based new conference. I couldn't be prouder! And I'm glad I have that song digitally or I would have worn it slap out as either vinyl or tape with as much as I've played it since then. LOL

Well I don't care
what some may say
gonna stand up for the Lord today.
Well I don't care
if they all known
gonna let the Lord's redeemed say so.
Gonna say it loud.
Gonna say it proud.
I...I love the Lord!

To: Tell It Right
That's an interesting anecdote.

One of the reasons I got into this task was that I was trying to see if the songs I've played the most frequently over the last 15+ years are actually the ones I like the most. There's a close correlation, but it's not a perfect one.
