And here we go...

So, I've decided to inform anyone who reads my blog of some of my "top" favorite/least favorite things....

Top 5 favorite CDs currently

"Imagination" by Bethany Dillon

Why: This CD is genious. It's a compilation of folk rock music with amazingly deep and creative lyrics that make you think about God differently. I love the entire CD especially tracks 6 and 11 which brought me to a different place in my walk with God then I was before.

"Taking a Chance on Love" by Jane Monheit

Why: This is great jazz music by a really talented woman. The CD is a compilation of old songs that she is covering; Alot composed by Cole Porter. This is very good, she has an amazing voice that sounds like it's right out of the 1930's. I love good jazz vocals, this is a great CD.

"Gypsy Flat Road" by Sandra McCracken

Why: Sandra McCracken is the wife of Derek Webb, one of the members of Caedmon's Call...who's also amazing!! Sandra's voice is so soothing and this whole CD is just really awesome "feel-good" music and then once you being to listen to the words of the songs...yeah, it's really profound. I definatly reccomend this CD to anyone who enjoys folk-rock with really honest and deep lyrics.

"Eleventh Hour" by Jars of Clay

Why: I LOVE Jars of Clay, pretty much all of their stuff is genious. Someone once told me that they write all their songs together as a group, which is evident by the way the music seems to match perfectly with the theme of the song. They are musicians and that is apparent and poets and that is just as apparent. This is a really good CD but so are all of their other ones. I highly reccomend becoming a Jars of Clay fan! It'll rock your world. :)

"Greatest Hymns" by Selah

Why: Okay, so for anyone who can't stand the stiff, old and dusty hymns, this CD may begin to soften your heart. It's an amazing CD. They have taken all the words to some of the greatest hymns ever written and put it to new music. The richness and beauty of the old songs are given a new twist. The three people in the band have the most amazing and strong voices, they all sound like gospel singers, and their voices blend perfectly. Some of the songs will probably make you cry, they did so for me. A brother, sister and friend comprise this group and the brother and sis were missionary kids. They grew up in Africa and so that influence is in their music...it's SO beautiful!

Top 5 Reasons why I love being homeschooled

1. I can wake up at 10:00 everyday if I want to

2. I have the freedom to do my work pretty much anytime during the day or night I want to and carry it over if I just need to get some rest.

3. I get to experience life for what it really is and not be confound to a classroom for 6+ hours a day.

4. I get to adjust my curriculum to suit my personality and learning ability. And I don't move onto something new unless I understand what I'm currently doing.

5. I can travel with my school work. I can go to California on a Wednesday and not have to worry about missing school (all except French, which I take at a public high school).
