Okay, so this morning at work I found this band The Head and the Heart. They have a self-titled album out. And holy freakin' crap, it is incredible. They recall Blind Pilot, Wild Sweet Orange, and a few other bands like that a bit, but also have their own awesome sound and some really profoundly good lyrics. I had to recommend it--so good!

Contentment

Quick-and-dirty: Though the Bible promises that we can be content in all circumstances (Phil 4:11-13, written when Paul was in a craphole Roman jail again, uncertain of whether he would ever get out or not) contentment is a damnably tricky thing to hold and keep, especially when we have the promise of ever-more-perfect pleasures at our disposal via the internet and the shrinking of the world. Why do we, I, miss it so readily? I'm discovering the answer and the solution in The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment by Jeremiah Burroughs, and highly recommend the book to anyone who feels that they struggle with it too. May be a while before I finish it to lend it, though.

Peace!
