It’s been more than 20 years since Split Lip Rayfield first mashed up their aggressive stew of acoustic bluegrass instrumentation, tight country vocals, fierce metal shred, and in-your-face punk sensibilities.

Steven Tyler United States - 19 May 2011 Many contestants who audition for American Idol tell moving and emotional stories. Perhaps the most touching of them was told by Chris Medina who performed Breakeven by The Scripts at the auditions in Chicago. He told the judges of his fiancée Juliana Ramos who had suffered a brain injury after a car accident that left her in a wheelchair – able to move only her left arm and little more. After Chris sang, he brought his fian- cée to the audition room at the judges’ request. While Randy Jackson and Jennifer Lopez intro- duced themselves, Steven Tyler shook her hand saying: “Hi, girl. I just heard your fiancée sing, and he’s so good.” He added in a warm, tender whisper: “That’s why he sings so good, because he sings to you.” The New York Times called the moment “a stellar embrace” and praised Tyler as “deeply practiced and deeply humane” and an “unalloyed genius”.
  • Thankfull Weekly Devotionals

    Thankfull Weekly Devotionals

    Week 1: October 25 – 31 Being ThankFULL means paying attention “Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.” Colossians 4:2 Being thankful is an easy thing to do, but it takes some intentionality. We often get wrapped up in enjoying our blessings and we forget to say “thank you” to God. Other times, we get so consumed by our daily concerns and worldly troubles that we fail to recognize the blessings that are certainly present even in dark days. Colossians 4:2 says “Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.” There is always something to be thankful for if we are watchful and paying attention. And so, the very first step to being ThankFull, is to pay attention to what is going on around you, and where God is present and at work. Resist getting swept away by the busyness of the world, but rather ground yourself in prayer. Pause. Breathe. Listen. God is present and working among the people and the moments that often go unnoticed. David was nearly overlooked to become king because he was the youngest among Jesse’s sons (1 Samuel 16). Elijah was looking for God in the strong wind and in the earthquake, but God was actually present in the still small voice (1 Kings 19). Thankfully, it was because Samuel took notice that David became king, and it was because Elijah took notice that he was able to feel God’s presence. What will we behold if we start paying attention? During this first week of ThankFULL, try to be more watchful and pay attention to the things that usually go unnoticed.

    Sunday March 15 2020 Guide for Worship

    Sunday March 15 2020 Guide for Worship Good Morning Faith Family, Even though we will not be gathered together within the walls of our church this morning, I would like to encourage us all to take time with the Lord today to speak to him and hear from him during this time of uncertainty. We hope in a God who calms all of our fears. We trust in a God above and beyond all earthly constraints. And in times like these, we turn to a God who is working out all things for our ultimate good and his infinite glory. You will find the bulletin prepared prior to canceling the service attached to this email. I hope that this provides for you a way to turn your heart to God in worship as a family, as a couple, or as an individual knowing that your faith family is doing the same all around you in Longview. Let the service order guide you in your time with God—in prayer, in song, in reflection. Below you will see links to each of the songs in the service. You will also find a short reflection on the passage attached to this email. There will be a worship guide provided for next Sunday morning, as well. Look for that coming to you this week. May the love of the Father fill you with wonder, may the grace of the Son fill you with hope, and may the fellowship of the Spirit fill you with life.

    Body As Evidence

    Chapter 1 Pop Goes Democracy Mediating Race, Gender, and Nation on American Idol Parallels between presidential elections and the hit TV series are not hard to make. Indeed, they had become punch lines in comedyAmerican routines: Idol from Comedy Central’s Stephen Colbert complaining that it took too long to determine the next American Idol (in a gag that had audiences assuming he was referring to the next U.S. president) to ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel quipping that, after watching the vice presidential debate during the U.S. presidential campaign in 2008, he “voted four times for Sarah Palin and six times for David Archuleta,” in reference to the popular Republican vice presidential candidate and frontrunner contestant that year. Interestingly, movie critic RogerAmerican Ebert Idol’s mounted criticism against Palin for being “the American Idol candidate,” in which he argued the following: I think I might be able to explain some of Sarah Palin’s appeal. She’s the “American Idol” candidate. Consider. What defines an “American Idol” finalist? They’re good‑looking, work well on television, have a sunny personality, are fierce competitors, and so talented, why, they’re darned near the real thing. There’s a reason “American Idol” gets such high ratings. People identify with the contestants. They think, Hey, that could be me up there on that show! . My problem is, I don’t want to be up there. I don’t want a vice president who is darned near good enough. I want a vice president who is better, wiser, well‑traveled, has met world leaders, who three months ago had an opinion on Iraq.
