Phreaky Phwednesday: 1 Samuel 25:22

Of all the arguments I’ve ever heard for using the King James Bible, this is by far the best. BY FAR.

Pastor Steven L Anderson, pastor of Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, Arizona. My favorite quote is, “The editors of the NIV pee sitting down.”

Welcome Back!

So, apparently our RSS feed has been down for, well, nobody knows quite how long. A while, anyway. It just kept showing no new posts, and then finally, nothing at all. It’s back up and running now, thanks to some fancy codin’ by an unnamed hero of the masses (named me). To all of our rabid fan (hey Bobby!) who thought we had folded up shop and moved the blog offline to Aly and Ash’s backyard, let me be the first to say …

… Welcome back!

New Music From The Dailies - All In

Well, if we had any hopes of keeping in the good graces of the CCM crowd, I think we can kiss them goodbye.  Anytime you use poker as a metaphor, I think you can forget your chances of a lot of airplay on Christian Hit Radio.

Please excuse me while I go on with my life.  

Erica came to me a week ago and said:  ”We need a mindless fist-pumper.  There are a lot of great songs, but as usual, they trend towards the thinky side of things.”  We sat down and started kicking ideas around, and within about, oh, I dunno, 45 seconds, we’d landed on this tune.

I think it has the biggest hook of the whole record.  Stick nominated this tune as The Dailies song most likely to get licensed by a casino.  I will say, truly, it’s not really about poker.  Erica and I are basically laying our lives on the line.  This season of our lives has been the biggest risk we’ve ever taken.  We’re going all in, and hoping that someone will call.  

Stay tuned next week, as we’ll post blogs all through the week from Eldorado, both here and at the official Dailies site.  

Hope you enjoy.  As usual, I’m sending you over to our website.

Gerald Martinez on Home Makeover

For 120 minutes tonight, the public face of the church was Gerald Martinez and his family. Rough hands and tender heart, reminded me of a certain carpenter.

the song

As sung by Leadbelly.
