This is my favorite rock opera. I have the songs imprinted on my memory. I learned more about the life of Jesus and his heart through these songs than I did in Catholic school. Be kind, don't worry about the future, dont judge, love.
Hersey HS put on an amazing performance of JCSS this spring.

21/365 Madonna
1981? This is the first Madonna song I ever heard. Stephanie and I loved her voice and her dance moves. Simple and fun. Little did we know that she would become a Diva.
Love the bracelets.
Love the bracelets.

21/365 Prince
During her days of obsession with black-like musicians, Jane talked me into taking her and a bunch of her pubescent friends to see this movie. Although in todays standards, it would not be so shocking, I had to reach over and cover 4 sets of eyes during some parts.
I wish I could show you the pic of her covered in MJ buttons, wearing fingerless gloves and the big hair. LOL.

20/365 Beauty for Ashes
I love this gospel song. The words are encouraging. As I get older and experience this over and over again, I KNOW that its true and it gives me assured hope and confidence for the future.
He brings Beauty from ashes,
strength from fear
gladness from mourning
peace from despair

strength from fear

19/365 Ziggy Marley
If we could just let go of all of our fear, jealousy and our "need for more" perhaps we could actually lead a life of love. Sometimes I think the Rastafarians have the right idea about religion. Simply love. I know what I believe- its not exactly this but I like what he says. Of course, Reggae music always puts me in a good frame of mind.
All my days I've been searching, to find out what this life is worth
through the books and bibles of time I've made up my mind
I don't condemn, I don't convert, this is a calling have you heard
bring all the lovers to the fold, cause no one is gonna lose their soul

17/365 Casting Crowns
This was my theme song for a while. Through this song, God gave me the courage to do some things that I never in a million years thought I would do.
Oh,what I would do to have
the kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I'm in
Onto the crashing waves
To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown
Where Jesus is,
And he's holding out his hand
But the waves are calling out my name
and they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
time and time again
"Boy, you'll never win,
you'll never win."
But the voice of truth tells me a different story
the voice of truth says "do not be afraid!"
and the voice of truth says "this is for my glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth
Oh, what I would do
to have the kind of strength it takes
To stand before a giant
with just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound
of a thousand warriors
shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand
But the giant's calling out
my name and he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
time and time again
"Boy you'll never win,
you'll never win."
But the voice of truth tells me a different story
the voice of truth says "do not be afraid!"
and the voice of truth says "this is for my glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth
but the stone was just the right size
to put the giant on the ground
and the waves they don't seem so high
from on top of them looking down
i will soar with the wings of eagles
when i stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
singing over me
But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says do not be afraid
And the voice of truth says this is for my glory
Out of all the voices calling out to me (calling out to me)
I will choose to listen and believe (I will choose to listen and believe)
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth
I will listen and believe
I will listen and believe the voice of truth
I will listen and believe
'Cause Jesus you are the voice of truth
And I will listen to you.. oh you are
Oh,what I would do to have
the kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I'm in
Onto the crashing waves
To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown
Where Jesus is,
And he's holding out his hand
But the waves are calling out my name
and they laugh at me
