day 02 – your least favorite song
Throne of Grace (by Vineyard, By the Tree and others)
I love the message of the song – “It’s God’s kindness that leads to repentance…” but we used to play this song way too often as part of various praise and worship sets and to me the song just drags on and on and on (especially considering the message). So it’s one of those songs that just bug me every time I hear it.
Your favorite song – The 30 Day Song Challenge
For something a “little lighter” this month I thought I’d do the 30 Day Song Challenge here on my blog.
It’s a pretty simple meme… just answer the questions about various songs in your life… one question a day.
The hardest part of this might be narrowing each day down to just one song.

10 U2 workout songs
atu2.com has offered a list of their Top 10 U2 songs to workout to.
And it’s a great list… but I like my playlist better. 🙂 Which, I haven’t really used much lately… Guess I’d need to actually work out more frequently to really put it to use.
10. Zoo Station – I always picture Bono walking on stage doing his “Bono kick/dance” during the ZooTV tour when I hear this song. The hard beat works great with fast repetitions like a rowing maching.
9. Even Better Than the Real Thing – It’s hard for me hear Zoo Station without it being followed by Even Better.
8. The Fly – Hard for me to hear this song without thinking of the goofy videos we made for this video while running around Pleasant Grove… and my friend Brandon doing the “Bono dance” in a tree and then falling to the ground when the branch broke. DOH!
7. Elevation – This song gets me jumping and boppin’ my head every time I hear it. atu2.com suggests listening to it while on a trampoline. I’m picturing it more while using a punching bag or shadow boxing… or maybe even jump rope.
6. Sunday Bloody Sunday – Perhaps the ultimate anthem? Hard not to get energized listening to it.
5. Bullet the Blue Sky – I usually go with the Joshua Tree album here, but if I really want to get angry and fired up about something for inspiration, you can’t go wrong with the live version from Rattle and Hum.
4. Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me – “Who’s afraid of a big black bat?”
3. Vertigo – I don’t run much, but this song and #1 are always great tracks to get me moving.
2. Stand Up Comedy – “Love is evolutions very best day.” Truly my favorite song on NLOTH and just a great jam to do just about anything to.
1. Get On Your Boots – OK. We agree. This is #1.

Seven films to watch over the holiday season
I love me some movies… especially those that tell a great story, make me think, teach me something new or challenge my way of thinking.
Perhaps that’s why I really appreciate the art of documentary.
With the holidays coming up, a lot of us will have more downtime than normal. So rather than popping the same ole’ comedy into the DVD player, try some of these thought-provoking documentaries on for size.
If you have a Netflix account, most of these can be viewed instantly on your computer (Wii, mobile phone or any other Netflix enabled device.)
