Yeah my church was really modern - these bands were Christian enough for us
:D I do remember having a subscription to CCM and being disappointed they
didn't have any articles on the music *I* liked. This lady called me on the
phone asking why I cancelled the subscription and I told it to her straight
;)

I did know somebody at my church who was appalled at Amy Grant's "baby baby"
stuff. I could never understand that. Christians can be in love too ya know.
Oh I guess we're only suppposed to sing about God.

The Bible has its dark moments as well. The crucifixion wasn't exactly a
walk in the park. My mom is disturbed that in my Lutheran church we always
have a somber Good Friday service where we turn out all the lights, decorate
in black, and leave the sanctuary in silence. I think the joy of Easter is
brought out more when you see the contrast between the two events. You
actually experience what it was like for the people who witnessed it.
Pretend you don't know what's going to happen at the end!

OK I'll have to check it out. Now I'm going to my basement to see if I can
unearth my DA CDs - I'm feeling cynical today ;)
