Prob'ly..."In Christ Alone" but I don't really know....

Lord, don't ALLOW felix to do anything you don't want....  Stop him dead in his tracks when someone asks him to do something that isn't in your plan.  Give him words and grace to refuse, when need be.  Give peace and break any fear of man and their reactions.  Fill felix with your love constantly so that he can live according to your will and ONLY according to your will.

who said that originally, anyway? (nothing to do with a debate...I just can't remember)

so many others I don't really want to think about it....

I'm prob'ly the youngest person to reply to this....

2nd Chap. of Acts has all their albums on CD at 2ndchapterofacts.com.  Matthew also has them on his site, matthewward.com, and Annie may or may not on annieherring.com.

Larry Norman, last I checked (a few months ago) was still around, with a defibrilator, but still around.

I love the "old school" stuff.  Crazy.  I have portraits of 2nd Chp. and Keith Green and Larry Norman on my walls.  I love all the Petra, except that stuff a few years ago that didn't even sound like them.  I haven't gotten Jeckyll and Hyde, but it's on my wish list.  I also love Phil Keaggy and Ken Medima and JMT and Micheal Card.  Though why we call their stuff "old school", I don't know; they're still around....
 
My dad wants me to hear Isaac Airfreight or however you spell that--anyone know where they can be found?

[To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.]

I didn't have time to read everything that went on here, but it was enough to make me want to put my 2 cents worth in.  

I'm about as far from SDA as can be--BUT--the SDAs I know are simply people who want to follow God, and they see what they do as the best way of achieving that.  One of my best friends is a SDA.  If it wasn't for her, there wouldn't be another Christian in my class at school.

I say that she is a Christian because she believes that Jesus Christ was fully God and fully man, that he was born of a virgin, that he died to save the world from their sins, and that he rose again to life and in doing so killed death.  

Other than that, yes, I think she is sometimes a little legalistic...but I think we should remember St. Paul's words in Romans 14:  "One man's faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables...Who are you to judge someone else's servant?   To his own master he stands or falls.  And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand."

and John Michael Talbot, and Michael Card.

(I told you there were more.)

and Petra.  I almost forgot.

There's probably more, too.

...strange mixture of new and old...my parents turned me on (inadvertantly) to the original CCM.

How about Annie Herring's "Prince Song"?  There's an entire "lalala" verse.  Good song, regardless.

And, hey, we sing "Li li li" on some of our Hebraic-influenced music.  Why not "La la"?

However, the strangest Christian song I've probably ever heard...and I've heard a lot...would probably be..."Barry's Car" by Fat & Frantic.  I give points to anyone who's ever heard of either the group or the song.

By the way, why do I know about all these songs from my parents' generation??  

I think the live version did the best it was humanly possible to do.  Peter Jackson did a wonderful job, even though I was disappointed that some parts were changed or left out.  It's the movie business, after all, and they had to make a movie that would keep viewers.
 
I don't much care about the eagles--I think the relationship was shown.  For the movies' sake I thought it good that they fleshed Arwen out a little more.  

I'm personally GLAD they didn't try to take on Tom Bombadil...he is, in my opinion, something no human actor could really pull off.  

I realize also that Jackson sent Haldir and the elves to Helms Deep to add some dynamics and press home the point that this was the last big push of the elves--that they were a dying race.  I think that, cinematically, that was a good move.

But while Elijah Wood is a wonderful actor...he was too young.  Frodo is supposed to be fifty--older than the other three hobbits, and it's obvious that he's the youngest, in the movies.

I have other complaints...but overall it think that artistically and cinematically, this was one of the best movies I've ever seen.  (Strange point, but the ROTK credits were the most artistic and interesting I've seen, too.)

I don't think it matters one way or the other.  The body is a shell, after all--it's not what makes us who we are.  After the spirit has left, what does it matter?  People should simply do what they feel God has led them to do.
