So, what do I do with myself? I have a lot of interests and hobbies.
Here are some links to find out more about what makes me tick.
|
Links
 | Blue Letter Bible
 | BLB is, in my opinion, the best online Bible study resource that
I have found. They provide several translations, including
Greek and Hebrew, and a full concordance. |
|
| John Sevier Baptist Church
| JSBC is one place where I worship. On this page, you will
find service times, missions activities, and directions, among other
useful information. |
|
| New City Cafe
| The cafe is an oasis amidst a dry and thirsty land that we
Knoxvillians call the Old City. Currently situated among
several bars, a biker shop, and a strip joint, Kenny, the owner,
provides an opportunity for Christian artists from local, regional,
and national scenes to share the joy and peace that they have found. |
|
| Trillian
| Trillian is a great program that allows you to communicate with
friends via five different online messaging services at once.
There are also some great emoticons and skins. Best of all,
it's free. |
|
| The University of Tennessee,
Knoxville
| UTK is the campus that I call home. I am especially fond
of them now that they have offered me an assistantship for graduate
school. Praise God from whom all blessings flow! |
|
Musicians
| Nichole Nordeman
| Nichole is probably the best lyricist that I have ever heard.
She has a very special way of using unusual words and phrases to
explain ideas that are often ignored because of their antiquity.
And her voice/keyboard skills are nothing to be laughed at, either. |
|
| Caedmon's Call
| I gain more respect for the ministry of this group every
time I see them in concert. Their style is a type of folk
rock, but there are some strong gospel, blues, and country
influences as well. I'm also a big fan of their use of trash
cans as musical instruments. |
|
| Andrew Peterson
| OK, so the voice is a bit nasal, but the heart is definitely on
target. Andrew allowed me to experience the grandeur of God's
creation in a new way with his song, "Nothing More to Say."
His warning that the church often seems like "the second coming of
the Pharisees" has really hit home in my life as well. His
musical style is a combination of old-style country, bluegrass,
folk, rock, and love. |
|
| Steve Taylor
| Steve is one of the wittiest songwriters I've ever heard.
His solo albums go back quite a few years, but he is more recently
known for his work behind the scenes as a producer. You can
hear some of his work with on the Newsboys album, "Take Me to Your
Leader" and the compilation, "Roaring Lambs". |
|
| Cleo Laine
| Cleo is easily the most over-looked master jazz vocalist in
history. From her unbelievable range of styles, pitches,
dynamics, and energy to her delectable on-stage personality, her
talent is definitely not to be missed. I especially recommend
her album, "Solitude" featuring the music of Duke Ellington. |
|
| Bruce Hornsby
| Before you haul off into snickers, you need to get past the
radio cuts and listen to the behind-the-air tracks. Mr.
Hornsby is a technical fiend at the piano, and he somehow manages to
sing as he plays (a field in which I doubt I will ever be able to
claim such mastery). Spiderfingers from his album, Hot House,
is perhaps the best example of such technique, but his lyrics also
provide food for thought. |
|
| Gloria Estefan
| Again, don't start laughing until you've heard the all-spanish
albums. Gloria was Latin and Musical way before anyone else
thought it was cool (with the possible exception of Ritchie Valens).
And though her English albums often leave a lot to be desired,
musically, when she invokes her mother tongue, all Cuba breaks
loose. OK, so maybe that was just a bit too weird.
Regardless, she is still one of my favorite entertainers and
musicians. |
