Advent: God With Us

I have listened to God With Us from Folk Angel‘s album, Comfort & Joy – Christmas Songs Vol. 3, countless times over the past few weeks. It proved to be particularly impactful as I have prepared to preach on a couple of occasions during Advent.

In the video below (featuring God With Us from Comfort & Joy – Christmas Songs Vol. 3), Isaac Wimberley powerfully and accurately captures the Biblical message and tone of the Advent season.

Watch it, listen to it, and allow your sense of yearning, longing, and anticipation grow as you prepare to celebrate Christ’s first coming and as you await his second.

On a side note, I highly recommend this album. Great stuff! Buy it HERE.

The Lifehacker Post that Changed My Life

Okay, the title might be a bit dramatic.  The post didn’t change my life.  But it did have a serious impact, albeit in a small way.

Think about this for a moment: How many times have you reached into your bag to grab your headphones, only to spend the next five minutes untangling them?  Frustrating!  It doesn’t matter if they’ve been in there 30 seconds or 30 days, it’s almost a guarantee that they will be in a knotted mess!  Sometimes, if I just need my ear buds to watch a quick YouTube clip or listen to a short soundbite, I’ll just give up and use them in their tangled state.

Well, everything changed a couple of months ago when I stumbled upon this post on Lifehacker. No little headphone-wrapping contraptions or pouches to buy or add to my already cluttered bag.  This headphone cord wrapping technique will save you from those frustrating untangling sessions and it’ll save you time in the process.

It rarely, if ever, fails me.

Stress-free music listening awaits you.  Check it out!
