Every Monday I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay from the previous week. It’s the continuation of a weekly hobby that goes back nearly 45 years. Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday July 16TH 2023 – the 335TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	1	4	Holy Forever [3RD week @ # 1]	Chris Tomlin
2	2	16	Cornerstone	TobyMac Ft. Zach Williams
3	4	8	Big God	Terrian
4	3	20	This Is Our God	Phil Wickham
5	7	2	To Not Worship You	MercyMe
6	6	16	Fingerprints	Dan Bremnes
7	5	7	Yes I Am	Christian Paul
8	8	5	Every Hour	David Leonard Ft. Josh Baldwin
9	10	11	You Will Be Found	Natalie Grant Ft. Cory Asbury
10	–	1	The King Is Alive	Jordan Feliz

# 1 This Week In:
2022 – “Getting Started” – Jeremy Camp
2021 – “Be Alright” – Evan Craft X Danny Gokey X Redimi2
2020 – “No Impossible With You” – I AM THEY
2019 – “Prize Worth Fighting For” – Jamie Kimmett
2018 – “Grace Got You” – MercyMe
2017 – “Wonder” – Hillsong United

TERRIAN – Terrian Bass Woods may have the unofficial anthem of the Summer Of 2023 on her hands, as “Big God” continues to garner increased airplay at U.S. Christian radio from coast-to-coast. It’s up another notch to # 3 on my chart, and now it’s the favorite to be my next big # 1. It’s actually her 2ND hit on my chart. “In The Arms” peaked at # 10 back in January 2020. I’ve seen Terrian LIVE in concert a couple of times – both as an opening act for TobyMac. She puts on an energetic performance that glorifies our “Big God”. And speaking of Mr. Mac – he makes a cameo appearance at the end of this music video:

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again with the new weekend – and 3 new entries – known as #TravelThursday, #SundayScripture, and #MusicMonday.

Footloose

Post date July 6, 2023

Welcome back to #TravelThursday. Last Saturday I went on my first day-trip with some of my friends at the Sebring Historical Society. We gathered on our chartered bus at around 9 AM, and 30 minutes later we left the parking lot of our downtown Sebring museum for Fort Myers – 2 hours away.

We arrived at the Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre just in time for the all-you-can-eat lunch buffet – or – as I like to pronounce it – boo/FAY. The salad bar, the main course bar, and the dessert bar – it was all wonderful. Lots of choices, and everything tasted great. Service was pretty good too. You get your own food, and the wait staff brings you your unlimited drinks (water, iced tea, soda, coffee, etc.).

As a large group of over 20 we had 4 tables assigned to us up near the front of the 400-seat dinner theatre. We all had an excellent view of the stage for the after-lunch show.

And that show was #Footloose. I saw the original movie with my family as a 16-year-old in Fairfax County Virginia. I also saw the late-2011 remake. Good story. Good music. The Broadway-style show held true to its origins. I forgot about the whole minister / church part of the plot. It was interesting watching that this past Saturday afternoon as a minister.

I actually want to see the original 1984 movie again. Next time I see it on my TV listings I’ll have to DVR it. (Oh wait a minute – I forgot – it’s 2023, and I mostly stream. I have MAX, and I can watch it anytime on there.)

Well our next trip with the Sebring Historical Society is next month to a Tampa Bay Rays / New York Yankees Major League Baseball game in St. Petersburg Florida. I won’t be blogging about that, as I won’t be going on that trip. I just don’t like baseball. But I’m sure that the trip will be popular with a lot of the guys in our organization.

I hear that our next trip after that is in December to a Christmas show at a theatre in Winter Haven – or is it Winter Garden ? I get those two cities mixed-up. (And then there’s nearby Winter Park and Winter Springs.)

Next #TravelThursday – ALL ABOARD ! Let’s keep traveling together.

Happy 247TH Birthday U.S.A. !

On this 4TH Of July holiday we celebrate this great nation of ours – this free nation that we call The United States Of America. We are free today because of our Founding Fathers – great Americans like John Hancock, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson. Let us never forget all of those great Americans who fought – and who continue to fight to this day – for the independence and the freedom that we continue to enjoy today.
