Continually Seeking Him: It does matter.

It does matter.

Micah made a comment today that made sense...and something I have known for quite sometime :) He said all day long he had listened to Air1 while travelling to Edmond and back and it made his attitude WAY better. He was positive and focused on things that matter, not getting upset over dumb things and bad drivers.

I have always played worship music in our home for hours a day. Whenever we drive anywhere (and I am in charge of the radio lol), I put it on Air1 or Klove. It just sets the mood for those in the car. Not to mention, the positive words going in my kid's heads over and over and over. They sing along with the words, sometimes not even realizing they are saying bible verses word for word.

I cannot ask for a better way to set the tone for the home or car ride. What do you listen to?

Us, we listen to - Air1 (go to Air1.com and listen anywhere) or Klove (klove.com) - of course with the occasional country or dance music. But 90% of the time, its positive and encouraging music. I would rather the kids hear God's word then about drinking beer, having sex, or degrading women, as heard in MUCH of today's pop music. I am so over it. I hate it in fact. I don't care what you say, it does effect those who hear it. It becomes normal. It did for me when I was young, and I will not allow that behavior to be the norm for our behavior.

My kids know we are weird. They know we are not like the majority of people out there. They know kids their age are listening to it and can sing all the lyrics. They know they are dancing to it in a way kids should not dance. It affects kids. Period. Like I said, it did to me when I was their age. And I will be danged if I allow that to my kids.

Ok, off my soap box. In the meantime, Air1 and Klove have a 30 day challenge going on right now. Listen to Christian music ONLY for 30 days and see how it changes your life. So, I challenge you. Do it. And if you go to their websites and let them know you are up to the challenge, you could win some prizes for doing it!

If you are in search of some awesome Christian bands...here are a few of mine.
