I've been kinda busy lately and haven't had the time or inclination to post much. I just wanted to pop in to tell everyone (all 3 of my semi-regular readers) about my new favorite album: Jars of Clay's "Good Monsters". It is a fabulous album. Highly reccomended.

What's up with the title? Well, according to the band it is an illustration of who we are as Christians and human beings. As men, we are fallen. We are evil. We're monsters, if you will. As Christians we try to act contrary to our sin natures. We are good monsters. As the song of the same title says: "Not all monsters are bad, but the ones who are good never do what they could..."

The lyrics on the album reflect wonderfully the sentements of the album. The lyrics are definately worth a read through even if you don't care for the music (which should have a broader appeal than some of their past albums.) I'll probably be posting some of those in the future with commentary.

Until then, enjoy this music of the song "Work".
