ORS Music: “The Love of God Is Greater Far” Live at Life Connection Church

This was just one of my favorite times of worship ever, I don’t think that’s over stating it. First off this song is one of the greatest hymns ever written, lyrically unmatched in both creativity and power. It’s almost hard for me to believe it was written by man.

Gospel Community Worship Project at LCC

Layin down tracks: Ryan Leslie Makes “Addiction”

Thanks Brett for passing this onto me. This is a pretty sick display of ability by Ryan Leslie. It reminds me of what I look like when composing. I always dress in a full suit and wear sunglasses in my bedroom, dancin around, shouting out to the nonexistent crowd. My wife loves it. Oh wait [...]
