OK, so I’m going to take a chapter from the “Chris Beyer Book of Perspective on Holidays”…
 Kathy and I unofficially boycott Valentines Day.  I know from reading various blogs today that I’m probably in the minority. It just seems to me that it belittles and commercializes Love. I made a similar comment about worship and [...]

Waterdeep is one of my favorite bands. Unfortuantely not too many people are aware of thier music. There lyrics are incredibly real, not just a bunch of fluff… I was just listening to this song and wanted to share it.
