The Major’s Top 5 Hits RETRO – 2008

Every Friday night I post the Top 5 of one of my classic hit music charts based on personal preference from either 10, 20, or 30 years ago (rotating each week). Here it is – for the week ending Sunday August 03RD 2008:

  1. “Goodnight Gravity” – Falling Up
  2. “Captives Come Home” – Run Kid Run
  3. “Out Of Control” – Capital Lights
  4. “Run” – Ever Stays Red
  5. “Closer Than We Think” – The Classic Crime

A full decade ago I was approaching the 2ND anniversary of the start of my salvation. This blog was very active back then. I actually blogged daily, and sometimes twice and even thrice daily. I created this blog to journal each new Glorious day on my fantastic journey.

Look at what I wrote on this exact day 10 years ago – following that morning’s Sunday service with my church family at the time:

“We act upon what is in our hearts, and our Lives are a direct result of the condition of our hearts. Poverty is fueled by our human mind. Jesus challenges the quality of our Life by what drives our heart, what fuels our mind, and what moves our soul. We live in freedom, but our minds are in poverty. Our goal is to be fully alive and aware that we are totally blessed through it all. The fate of the world and the people around us depends on the outcome of our funk, and that funk doesn’t define us. It actually refines us.”

I clearly wrote that based on notes I took during the Pastor’s message. I did good !

It’s halftime. I’ll be back on Sunday with a transcript of my entire Communion that I’m leading with, and then on Monday it’s my brand new Top 10 music chart. Enjoy your Saturday. Be safe. Have fun. Love all. Live life.

Weekend: Commence

It’s Thursday night here on the U.S. East Coast, and weekends always begin on Thursday nights here on my blog. Friday is usually a regular secular work day for me, but not this Friday. I have the day off. I actually have my annual eye exam scheduled for tomorrow, so that means dilated pupils. I’ll be stranded at a major shopping mall in the local area for 4 to 6 hours. No problem. That major shopping mall contains numerous fine restaurants, two coffee shops, and a nice movie theatre.

Saturday is my day of rest at home. I’ll be writing my Communion that I’ll be leading with on Sunday. We observe and celebrate Communion every first Sunday of the month. I’ve been leading my church family in Communion every month for the past 2 years. This will be my 26TH Communion. On Sunday I plan to post the entire transcript of that Communion here on my blog.

There are now dozens of you following this blog. I don’t really know how that works, but some of you are actually receiving an E-Mail notification upon each new published blog post. It may even be more than just a simple notification. It may be the entire blog post. Some of you are reading my blogs simply by coming here to the source (via URL). I’m following many of your related blogs via the built-in WordPress Reader. Thank You Everyone for supporting this blog – my online ministry to share God’s Good News and expand His Kingdom exponentially.

I’ll be back tomorrow night with my regular Friday night feature – a look back at what I was listening to on the radio on this weekend in the past. I’ll revisit August 03RD 2008 – back when I was a 2-year-old toddler Christian on this fantastic journey – in a 41-year-old body.

The Major’s Top 10 Hits – Week 76

Every Monday night I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday July 29TH 2018:

  1. “Dream Small” – Josh Wilson [# 2 last week / 9TH week on chart]
  2. “Grace Got You” – MercyMe [1 / 17TH]
  3. “Resurrection Power” – Chris Tomlin [5 / 25TH]
  4. “Do It Again” – Elevation Worship [3 / 13TH]
  5. “The Way (New Horizon)” – Pat Barrett [4 / 13TH]
  6. “The Breakup Song” – Francesca Battistelli [7 / 3RD]
  7. “Who You Say I Am” – Hillsong Worship [- / 1ST]
  8. “Living Hope” – Phil Wickham [8 / 4TH]
  9. “Wherever I Go” – Dan Bremnes [9 / 4TH]
  10. “Heaven On Earth” – Stars Go Dim [10 / 2ND]

Josh Wilson scores the 24TH # 1 smash of the past 76 weeks of my chart. It’s his follow-up to “That Was Then, This Is Now” from a few years ago that still receives significant radio airplay as a recurrent.

Initially a song by the name of “Dream Small” may seem counterproductive for an Evangelical Christian boldly living this fantastic journey that God has created, but then when you hear the words that Josh sings you realize that it’s the simple moments that can change the world when you just let Jesus use you where you are.

God will come to you right where you are. He chose you. Let Him in to your heart. Let Him show you His love, so that you can show that love to your neighbor – so that you can change the world.

This concludes my 4 blogs this weekend. I’ll be back next weekend with all-new blogs on Thursday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday. I don’t blog on Saturdays. That’s my day of rest. Your likes, follows, and comments are always appreciated. Thank You for being part of my online ministry to win souls for Christ. Enjoy this week. May the LORD bless you and keep you.

Sunday Scripture

When I arrive at my workplace building early tomorrow morning I’ll observe and celebrate my 11TH anniversary of the rebirthing of my USAF career.

It was on Monday July 30TH 2007 when I was escorted by my longtime supervisor at the time about 1,000 feet down the road to my new building, new supervisor, new coworkers, and new job. It was the end of the worst 13 years of my career (and life), and the start of the best 11 years of my career (and life).

It’s what I prayed to God about the most during my first year of salvation. I turned it over to God, and I waited for Him to lead me out of the mud and mire – and down the road.

I waited patiently for the LORD to help me, and He turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair – out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground, and steadied me as I walked along. He has given me a new song to sing – a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what He has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the LORD. (Psalm 40:1-3 NLT)

God is in the miracle business, and I believe in His miracles. I’ve been the recipient of His miracles since the beginning. I have proof of His miracles. My proof is in my testimony.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart. Do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take. (Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT)
