Wow. Look what happens when you leave the country for 6.5 years. I've hardly heard of any of those Christian singers! There's not a huge hot market for Christian music over here in Japan Land.

Thanks for sharing your lists with us, Alana. As I said, I have a hard time deciding on songs too. I am looking for some good worship music, so I'll have to check these out.

Looks like we have similiar tastes in music. :)

great songs!
a few there i am going to have to add to my i-tunes library.
have you heard of pandoras box?
here is the link http://www.pandora.com/
it is free.
you type in artists you enjoy,and it plays similar artists.
you can give a thumbs up or down, and, it will somewhat determine what your musical preference is.
you can purchase songs you love through i-tunes.
or simply enjoy it as a computer radio station.

Drats! I was just being nice in the last post by telling you to take my name out of the running. If I hadn't of done that, I would have won. :)

Just kidding! Congrats to the worthy winner!

Hi Alana,
I made my way to your blog via the LPM blog. I love the video of your son. It's so neat when kids can learn to sing and dance at such an early age and know God's Truths so young.
I haven't had a chance to read further, but will be back.
