Just had a great week of vacation and I am ready to dive into Expedition prep for Winter 2012! I just have to say there are few things better than taking time away with the people you love and enjoying beautiful countryside and great stretches of water - I got to do it all!

I want to recommend some great listening that I have come across lately. If you are looking for a new album go out and buy Matt Redman's new one called 10,000 Reasons. You will appreciate his musical styles and the solid, challenging lyrics. I am also really into Gungor these days. I have been listening to their Beautiful Things album alot and I really appreciate their musical talents (which are huge) and the fresh way they engage me in a deep "yes" to Jesus. The songs are personal, communal and proclamatory - it is all covered. They are also definitely worth checking out on Youtube. Michael Gungor is the lead guy and his wife Lisa is the awesome keyboards/vocalist. Then there are other musicians that join them from all over. A new album, ghosts upon the earth, is just coming out. If there are bands and albums that you want to recommend just add a comment and I will check them out.
Peace,
Robyn
