So here goes my second blog post on blogspot.com...I wanted to write something about one o-f my great enjoyments in life...CCM music...the common abbreviation given to Contemporary Christian Music...Ever since I was 18 years of age, I have been a fan of Christian music, of the pop, rock, and worship variety. Positive and encouraging K-Love, which is 94.3 FM in the Chicagoland area, is the type of top-notch Christian radio that I just love to listen to. Listening to the stuff has gotten me through the "best of times and the worst of times" in life. I owe a lot to the positive and encouraging operation that is K-Love radio...The great website for that radio station, which is available nationally on different FM radio frequencies, is www.klove.com ... check it out if you have the chance! Some of my favorite Christian artists are Casting Crowns (I have been listening to them since 2003 when their platinum selling album Casting Crowns came out and the band toured with Steven Curtis Chapman...I have seen them perform at a few Christian music festivals, along with when I first saw them at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago when they first started to get big in the Christian music scene), BarlowGirl (this band of three sisters started at Willow Creek Community Church, so I have to give a shot out to Willow Creek), and Michael W. Smith (or Smitty, as his fans affectionately call him). I have been to more Christian concerts than secular ones, and they truly are a good time! Overall, I think that CCM music really reaches out with Christ's message to my generation, the twentysomethings that are usually looking for meaning in life (aren't we all, though). Ok...so that is just a bit about my love for Christian music...a great place to find Christian music tickets for anywhere in the US is www.itickets.com, in case anyone is wondering. And of course, pretty much any Christian music song, and all the popular artists that I mentioned, can be found on YouTube...it just takes a little searching.
That is enough for this Tuesday evening blog...I hope you enjoyed it.
