Yeah, yeah I know it’s Positive Post Tuesday and all, but right now I want to talk about some Music You’ve Never Heard.  Today, it’s the ‘Bloggers Edition‘ for you folks out there and maybe later today we will get to PPT.

First up it’s two guys I have never met in person but have known about in the blog world for a long time.  Luke Mundy and Gene Pensiero have recorded a Christmas EP.  It’s good and it’s free.  It’s got sort of a ‘Jon Foreman solo EP’ feel, but cool Christmas songs and there’s really no reason you wouldn’t go download it now for free and check out some music you’ve never heard.

Next up is an album that my church recorded a few months back.  It comes out today and it’s pretty dang good.  My friend Chad was super involved in it and I had several friends play on it, so it’s cool to hear.  You can listen to a couple of the songs here and you can buy it here.  From what I understand this is going to be an ongoing thing for the church.  There are tons of pretty talented folks in the church and they are all coming together to make some pretty great worship stuff.  

So there it is folks.  Some December Music You’ve Never Heard.  Nine days til Christmas.  What are you listening to this week?

So, here it is Tuesday again. Time for another “Positive Post Tuesday”. Time to say something nice or not say anything at all.  This week is a little different because I wanted to build up you guys.  The readers of this here blog.  The people that, for what ever reason, keep coming back here to hear what I have to say everyday.  The folks that show an genuine interest in our family.  Who pray for us even though they may not know us, the friends that I have gotten to know better because of this blog, and also the new friends I have made.

Almost two years ago now, I started this blog with no real intention of actually keeping it going.  I had no idea what to talk about and even if I came up with something to talk about, I wasn’t sure anyone was listening.  Now almost two years later, I have met some really cool people, created a “profession” and been more encouraged than I could have expected from a blog.  There is a pretty solid group of people here that come back and comment, and are involved in this little community online.   I call it a community because I know that there are people involved in this blog that, if I were in trouble, would jump at the chance to help out, as I would with them.  For that to happen with people that I may never know just blows me away.

It’s been amazing to see the support and interest that you guys have shown in what is going on here. There is no way that I would be getting to do what I am doing for a living without this little community here, and I appreciate that.  One of these days we need to have a big fat “…in case you were wondering” party, and you are all invited.

You guys know what to do.  I know there are more people out there that have nice things to say.  Let’s make today a very Positive Tuesday.  Who can you build up today?  Who needs it most?  We do plenty of tearing down throughout the week.  Let’s see how many we can get on this list today.
