Yippee and what I'm listening to

Dan bought me a Jamie Soles CD for mother's day and I love it! I'd heard of him from my cousins and, although it is aimed at older children, I like having children's music on that can be stimulating to adults, too. I can listen to this a few times a week and be edified and I hope John can learn something, too. Try doing that with a lot of other popular children's music and you'd go crazy.

Most Christian children's music focuses almost entirely on the New Testament and on things which are "nice". Jamie Soles introduces children to the whole testimony of scripture. What other children's musician introduces his audience to the account of Jael and Sisera or Eglon who was king of Moab, Israel's opressor? (In this particular series of songs, the chorus is, "So may all your enemies perish, but may the righteous shine like the sun." That's straight out of scripture, folks!)

Thanks to Jamie Soles, I've got the Apostle's Creed by heart and am almost done with Jesus's lineage according to Matthew.

I'm glad I decided to post about this tonight - when I opened up his website, I learned that he has recently released an album of Psalms as well as an album of memorial songs. I know what's going on my birthday list, Dan. :-)
