Song of the Week
Since this week is Valentine’s day, I decided to put a song about love, so, it only makes sense to post the song Crazy Love by Hawk Nelson. This song is about how God is in crazy love with us and how the world just dosn’t understand. It is also based off of the book Crazy Love by Francis Chan. Have a good Valentine’s day everyone!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jFlW_j4G1A

Song of the Week
This weeks song is Breakfast by Newsboys. This song is bascially about someone dying. When you die you get to go to one of two places, heaven or hell. If you go to hell, you don’t get the fun stuff that you enjoy on earth, such as breakfast. BUT, in hevan you will! Along with this the song has some funny refrences to the breakfast club and different type of breakfast foods so it is a lot of fun. So stop reading this and listen to this song!!-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSl5Yi3luGo
