Hold me now, it's hard for me to say I'm sorry . . .

I haven't been listening to CCM since I was in JR and H/S. I was really into it, just ask my family. I couldn't stand the evolution of the music into plain old worldly-sounding music, so I quit listening to it. Everyone that knows me can tell you I like all types of music. I would rather listen to rock and roll than Christian music trying to sound like worldly music. At least worldly music doesn't put on a false coat. They are what they say they are.

My husband has been listening to some Christian music in the car and told me that there was a station that wasn't too bad. I have listened to some wonderful music by several groups that cause me to want to worship, not take my thoughts elsewhere. I downloaded several songs and made another c.d. I love some songs by Casting Crowns, Jars of Clay, and Mercy Me. Jars of Clay has a c.d. called Redemption Songs, old hymns they have updated. I love that. Most people try to throw out the old hymns. My favorite, and my kids favorite, is I'll Fly Away. It's toe-tapping so you know that when we do FLY AWAY, it's going to be good!

I still like Chicago, and can't we all quote all the words to the old songs??? Even if the message isn't that great. I guess that's why I tried CCM again.
