Amazon always seems to have some super great deals going on with their MP3 Albums.
This month (or what remains of it) is no different.
I checked in this morning and noticed a number of awesome Greatest Hits albums available for only $5!
Check out some of the selection:

A random thought/idea came to me today.
Last year Amazon began allowing loaning books between Kindle users. In addition they just announced (this week I believe) that libraries will now be able to purchase Kindle versions, for patrons to borrow and read on any Kindle enabled device.
(FREE software is available to read Kindle books on iPhone, iPad, Windows PC, Mac, Blackberry, Android and Windows Phone devices.)
You can loan a book to anyone with an e-mail address via the Kindle Manager (as long as the publisher has enabled lending).
So as I was thinking about how this might be an awesome avenue for sharing ideas and material with not just my friends next door, but my friends across the pond, I started thinking…

I found a great video interview with God’s Squad Christian Motorcycle Club and Concern Australia/Global Concern founder John Smith (via The Work of the People) on Vimeo the other day and then found this second video in which he chats about the influence of the Jesus Movement over the church.
“God met that generation of freaks in the middle of their Acid trips because the church was not listening to their heart…”
“So have I got hope? Man I’ve lived through seeing when they all said God was dead and then seeing God reach hippies in the middle of the Adirondacks – sure I’ve got hope!”
What I find interesting about this interview is that John Smith seems to touch on the idea that people come to God in all sorts of ways — with, or without the church — something Rob Bell also spent a chapter discussing in Love Wins.
My family had a discussion on this same topic over lunch Easter Sunday, discussing how they recently heard a missionary sharing dreams are becoming a big deal in the Middle East. According to the missionary, a number of people he’s met are seeing Jesus appear to them in dreams and they’re starting to follow him based not on a clear sermon from the pulpit, not from a missionary coming from overseas — but based on a dream or series of dreams. Fascinating!
What do you think?
When you look at the Church are you more hope-filled or hope-less?
BONUS: Here’s the 1st video:
day 26 – a song that you can play on an instrument
Easy….
With or Without You by U2… I can play it on the guitar, bass guitar and piano/keyboard.
Which means I can also play Glycerin by Bush, Cryin’ by Aerosmith, Basket Case by Green Day and Machine Head by Bush…
And a number of other songs with the exact same chord progression.
What about you? Got another list of songs you can play with the same chord progression? (hint: G, C, D can play most worship songs from the 90’s)
