– Every single person in this house adores Dave Barnes. We love his music and his heart. And when I bought his brand-spankin’ new Christmas CD off of iTunes a few minutes ago, I thought, I bet D totally bought this today, too.
But that is okay. Both of our iTunes will be happier as a result of Dave Barnes’ Christmas music. You can check out the new CD on iTunes (it’s only $6.99!) – and I think the video for “Christmas Tonight” is absolutely adorable.
It makes me want to put up our Christmas tree tonight. On November 9th. Just because I can.
– I loved Melanie’s post today. Nobody makes me laugh like she does, but I think she does some of her very best writing when she shares her heart.
– Lora Lynn has put together a very big, very wonderful list of websites and shops that are selling really great stuff to raise money for adoptions and for orphan care.
It’s a pretty wonderful way to give Christmas shopping a greater good, don’t you think?
– It’s still giveaway central around here: right now you can enter to win Visa gift cards on the Similasan giveaway, the Ragu giveaway and the Pop-Tarts giveaway. There’s a new Laughing Cow giveaway and a new Lands’ End giveaway coming up very soon.
– The LG Text-Ed program is still going strong at over at BlogHer; don’t miss the great discussions on texting and driving, sexting, cell phone ground rules for teens, and so much more.
– A few weeks ago I read the book Big Fish by Daniel Wallace, and OH MY WORD I LOVED IT. It has really stayed with me – especially the idea about how deeply people long to be noticed and remembered. I watched the movie last week, and it’s really good, but the book is great. GREAT.
Hope y’all are having a happy Tuesday!
OH GIRL GOING TO ITUNES NOW!!!!!!
WOOHOO:)
The movie Big Fish was filmed in Wetumpka and Montgomery – I was a teacher at the Elementary School in Wetumpka during that time. I watched them film a lot of the movie and have lots of friends (and former students) who were in it. It’s SO COOL to watch it!
And headed to iTunes NOW for the CD. Woo!
great minds think alike! love this video!
I adore Dave Barnes and didn’t know about this fabulous new CD. Yippie!!!!
downloaded it yesterday! i am loving “mary and joseph.”
Oh, I love that book, too! I haven’t seen the movie, and maybe I won’t. It sounds like it can’t touch the movie.
I love this…might just play it over and over and then go buy it! :0)
Praying for you, sweet Sophie. Your heart is a treasure!
Wonderful points you’ve made here with this posting. I read this a couple of times in order to make sure I was reading you appropriately. I actually appreciate your own position and I will be guaranteed to come back here.
