Greg NettleI am a diehard Cleveland Browns fan that dies hard every year. I have traveled to Peru, Ecuador, Ireland, Tanzania, England, France, Holland, South Africa, Wales, Northern Ireland, Canada, Mexico, Jamaica, Haiti and Scotland. And there’s nothing I would rather do than have a cup of coffee with my wife, Julie, at our local Starbucks. I enjoy bungee jumping, whitewater rafting and skydiving. The faster the roller coaster the better. My most recent adventures have included climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and a spiritual pilgrimage to Israel. I have read more than 50 books a year for the past 20 years but my favorite is to read the Bible with my 10 year old daughter, Tabitha and newly adopted son, Elijah. I used to travel and sing with Rich Mullins and I have had breakfast with Jerry Falwell. I would rather spend an hour with Howard Stern than an hour with the Pope. I love Kraft macaroni and cheese out of a box, Ho Ho’s, filet mignon and lobster with drawn butter—jalapenos on everything..
Great choices – and I loved hearing “How Many Kings” st the service yesterday! My personal MUST for the Christmas season is Michael card’s The Promise – title song and Joseph’s Song in particular – but it is a very worshipful, deeply meaningful entire recording. NEED it @ Christmastime!
While you Were Sleeping by Casting Crowns is my favorite song. The message in the song is so powerful. It touches my heart everytime I hear it. Andrew did a great job singing it last week.
I thought Julie sang a beautiful song of “How Many Kings”
Some great selections (love The Alarm!). But I must know…did you forget Todd Agnew’s In the First Light?? If not, what number is it?
